How do customers attribute to the rep of your shop? If you were the owner, what are you going to do, run a full background check on every paying customer, even if you did find out they were nutjobs, are you still going to turn down money? That answer is no. > > The only reason you guys seem to hate on Redline is because of Tony. Who is a customer AND an employee. So, for the sake of future arguments, it would seem more logical to argue that the companies EMPLOYEES give them a bad rep, not its customers. Tony was a customer prior to an employee… am I correct? therefor my argument still stands. Once a chode always a chode. If redline knew he did a 190 bomb, and I bet he bragged about it to someone there, or word got back to him about it, AND he still employed him after the fact, logically they are condoning the actions. > [@FS Pioneer AVH-P5700DVD](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-pioneer-avh-p5700dvd/34165/17): > > You’re nuts if you don’t think customers are a representation of a shop. I’m not saying for Howard to turn down business because of it, but there’s no way you can tell me that if you saw a bunch of chode whistlers driving like assholes and the one thing they all had in common besides the car was a sticker, that you would not think that the business name on the sticker is what they represent. You got me hooked on the word chode. lol --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lol-email-from-howard-at-redline/254461)._
