car dealership shuttle

i hate taking my car to the dealership.

but not for the reasons you'd think.

i don't like it because i hate taking the shuttle to work after i drop off my car. there's this creepy older guy who always drives the shuttle and he creeps me out.

i'm sure he's just trying to be friendly, but i don't like it. he always makes me sit in the front (i usually climb in the back, but even then, whenever the person in the front gets out, he asks me specifically to move to the front). i'm almost always the last person to get dropped off, so often times i have to sit there by myself with him. and he asks all kinds of questions, which i don't like to answer, so i try to talk as little as possible. ughhhhh. thankfully today, i was the second to last, so there was someone else with me the whole time. but he did say "darn, you're not the last today! i don't get to spend time with you!"

YUCK. he gives me the heebie jeebies (or however you spell it). maybe next time i'll try stevens creek acura instead of sunnyvale acura (where i bought my car and where i've always taken it). both are equally close to my house and my company, just in different directions (one's north, the other is east. so both are right in the middle of my commute to work, depending if i go north first or east first). but i figured more people who work in the santa clara area take their car to stevens creek so i won't be the last to get dropped off by the shuttle. (most people who go to sunnyvale acrua work in cupertino/sunnyvale area, which is why i'm often the last to get dropped off.) is it crazy to switch dealerships just to avoid the creepy guy??

Have someone pick you up from the dealership ... I've generally heard negative comments about dealerships on Stevens Creek so ...

Or bring your bicycle and ride it to work afterwards?

That really isn't cool at all. If it keeps up you could report it, but then you'd have to deal with all _that_ hassle ...

sick. i think it is well within your right as a client not to be borderline-sexually-harrassed by the car driver. i say, lodge a formal complaint. nail his sails to the wall. be safe! be free!

no. it's not at all crazy to switch dealerships to avoid creepy ppl. especially if it's not at any added inconvenience to you.
