I actually had something similar happen to me when I worked at a dealership.
I was 17 at the time and the salesman was like 40. Grabbed me around the neck and put me on the ground.
He didn't get fired and I regret not doing anything physically or in court to this day.
Seems like something often overlooked that should be checked out occasionally for you guys with high numbers. Still odd though. Interested in what he says about it.
