I can remember one time a tech had just started working at a dealership, and half way through his very first day, at the lunch break, he and the guy who was "showing him the ropes" got arrested for "aggravated assault" when they got into a fight inside a Burger King restaurant (with some other Burger King customer) over a parking spot.
Most folks would have expected the owner or managers of that dealership to toss the new guy out on the street as soon as they got out on bail (and most likely the guy showing the newbie around) , but that was not the case, the manager kept both techs, and the new guy stayed with that company for many years, and became a valuable and loyal member of the team who was willing to do anything legal to help the company succeed.
That kind of loyalty you can not put a price on, and was most likely worth far more than any of the people involved ever had thought about.
