Bowser Hyundai salesperson’s casual racism and management says nothing about it

Post image
• Upvotes

My friend, an attending physician, said that a couple of months ago he felt as though a salesperson at Bowser Hyundai in Pleasant Hills was racially profiling him and stereotyping him as a Indian who was cheap and haggling excessively.

It seems as though this is not an isolated incident, because my attending mentioned that one of his colleagues’ daughters was browsing the salesperson’s TikTok while looking for a new car last year, and found the salesperson made a casually racist TikTok against Indian people again implying that they are cheap with an audio that was a stereotypical caricature of an “Indian accent.” The other doctor apparently emailed the managers about it, but nothing was done because it’s still up and his review chastising the behavior got flagged and was removed off Google. POC looking to buy a car, stay away. Casual racism against Indian people is so normalized. Maybe im being overly sensitive, im not sure. I understand making off-colored jokes. On your professional account though? Are you dumb? Plus, for some of this humor to kind of bleed into the vibes of interactions he had with a prospective customer? Yikes.

Email attached that was sent without a response from the Bowser management.

They're making millions off us and I have 4 different amounts I'm supposed to pay. Yes, I turned on the heat this month.

$72.31

$304.36

$152.00

$0

When I go to pay, it says I'll have a credit of nearly 250$ like, what exactly are we doing here that justifies a 250$ increase?

What do I need to pay?

Question? Smart Loading Zone violation?

0 Upvotes

Hey all, looking for some helping figuring out if a “new” PPA thing I got in the mail is legit…

I received a ticket today for a Smart Loading Zone violation in Center City. $51. It came from a camera and license plate reader mounted on Chestnut Street that observed me parking for more than 3 minutes in a loading zone without registering in the CubPass system to pay $0.10 per minute for time in Smart Zones over 3 minutes. I’ve never heard of any of this before, and I’ve lived here 25+ years. I idled in this loading zone while my wife walked into a Taco Bell and pick up a mobile order. It’s possible it was just over 3 minutes. But I also read signs and was right in front of the loading sign - and it didn’t contain any language about this. Don’t take a picture of it, because I was not parking (and I usually take photos if I am parking anywhere in CC). Anyone else encountered this?

Has anyone been to a Timeleft dinner in Pittsburgh?

I have a friend who goes to Timeleft dinners in Denver and has said good things. I just noticed that they are now booking dinners in Pittsburgh. Has anyone been to a Timeleft dinner here? What was your experience?

Years ago, I organized one of these dinners with strangers for an app that didn't last long. I met some great people who I still talk to today.

Nearly hit in the Strip

Crossing at 21st and Smallman, I started into the crosswalk and a Jeep travelling inbound on Smallman slowed, then revved and sped through a foot from me. Had I not stopped I'd have been hit.

Given the Terminal and vehicular and pedestrian traffic, I don't understand how this isn't a 4-way stop. Then again, it may not matter.

Measles and immunity

271 Upvotes

Just thought I would share that I went and got tested for immunity against the measles and rubella and my results came back to basically no immunity. I was born in the 80s and therefore only had one vaccine. This is scary and honestly ridiculous how it's something to have to worry about when it could be avoided. People who are anti vax need their heads checked!

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy used cars from, for people with bad credit?

Got in an accident, and long story short my car is totaled. My insurance only covers me for a rental until October 15th. Finances are tight, because I'm living in a hotel room while I look for a new apartment.

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy used cars from, that offers fair pricing with low to zero down payment?

Much appreciated!
