Other than that, it was mostly the fellow employees who are much much my senior as a young college kid, at least in the Cadillac dealership. A couple of them in their too tight button down shirts and too short ties hanging over their bellies reminded me of Scott Farkas and his Toady Grover Dill from Christmas Story, picking on people and then the other ones slapping the other one. The dirtiest looking and oldest one in his indoor outdoor glasses always liked to asked if I, umm..... well let's just say he likes to go in and do that in the janitor closet off the sales floor. I would always just nervously laugh it off and walk away as quickly as I could. I never felt threatened, I found it disgusting and funny at the same time. Of course nowadays there would have been a lawsuit if you said that to the wrong person. I still enjoy my Cadillacs and Volkswagens, the same mosels now that I used to detail back then when they were new.
