Tucson Towing Company Refuses Service To Vehicles With Obama Stickers!
This is fuckin' hilarious!

My neighbor owns a towing company. Nothing major, I believe he has 6 trucks and 12-13 drivers. We have spent many a night sitting around sipping cold beer and bad-mouthing obama.

Anyway, he just introduced a new company policy. If a driver is responding to a call and the vehicle has an obama sticker on it, the drivers have been instructed not to service or tow the vehicle. No ifs, ands, or buts...

And the season will be breaking any day now...
"Moral of the story is I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way. I'll never make that mistake again.

Good politics, but bad business idea. All the ones with broken down cars are Obama supporters.

Man... this guy don't give a fuck. He's 58, fairly well-to-do, and is much more interested in making a political statement than making a few more dollars.

Besides, there are plenty of broken down autos out there. Especially once we hit the 100 degree mark.

I brought that up and he said he really doesn't give a shit.

Besides, most of the cars with obama stickers are driven by geeky looking white guys or post-menopausal crusty old bats with really bad haircuts.

Check 'em out when you spot one.

Yeah, but they're also the ones who probably won't pay, so that makes it a good business decision.

This guy has an attorney on retainer 24/7 because of the seemingly constant bullshit he has to deal with, and he fires back when he can.

Last year, some goofy-ass wanna-be trophy wife tried to sue him for towing her illegally parked BMW. The judge laughed at her, dismissed the case, and ordered her to pay all court costs as well as his attorney's fees.

best beware of un-intended consequences, they have a tendency to be more severe that one might originally anticipate

Gee, that ought to amount to about two cars that he won't service.

He would be better to hand his customers a dual invoice... pay $$ if you are a conservative, and $$$ if you are a liberal. Has been done before and got good publicity.

9teen And it sounds like it will be his last season to me. 1...The drivers will not be earning any money on 30 miles or more empty round trips.

2...Shit like that will soon get any contracts the Texas Highway Patrol and other organisations cancelled.

3...Once word gets out to Obama supporters he should expect to get a lot of false call outs.

4...Rival towing companies will quickly take advantage and it will be more than just towing vehicles with Obama stickers.

5...As someone else said he's setting himself up for a swinging lawsuit.

Oh he does just fine with his TDP contract and all the privately owned business' he tows for. And to be perfectly honest, he doesn't give a shit. He's making a political statement. He's standing by his convictions and I respect that.
