I go undercover at my family's car dealership to get a firsthand look at how things are running on the ground. On my very first day, however, I made the mistake of selling a car to the most insufferable customer imaginable—Daniel Dawson. It all starts when I casually mention that free lunch is one of the perks we offer car owners. Daniel takes that as an open invitation to turn our dealership into his personal buffet, showing up with his entire family almost every day. Whatever food is left over, he packs up and takes home. He even has the nerve to snatch takeout meals right out of my coworkers' hands. The employees are furious, but none of them dare to speak up. After all, Daniel's cousin, Lily Collins, is the dealership's sales director, and no one wants to risk getting on her bad side. Today, though, he finally goes too far. The cafeteria hasn't prepared his favorite wagyu steak, so he throws a full-blown tantrum in the showroom, driving away two customers who are moments away from closing their deals. That's the last straw. I've had enough of his entitled behavior, so I step in to put a stop to it. Daniel flies into a rage and shoves me to the ground. "Who the hell do you think you are, you pathetic nobody? My cousin is the sales director! All it takes is one word from me, and you'll be out of here before the day's over!" When he sees me pull out my phone to call the police, he completely loses it. He grabs a small can of custom-mixed automotive paint that's been prepared for a customer's vehicle delivery and dumps the entire thing over me. "You still want to call the cops? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!" I simply smile. Daniel has no idea what he's just done. The paint he's poured all over me is Starlight Chameleon Paint, a specialty finish that headquarters has just flown in from overseas. It costs 1,000 dollars per gram. I pick up the POS terminal, glance at Daniel and begin calculating the damage. "This is Starlight Chameleon Paint, a specialty finish that headquarters just had flown in from overseas. It costs 1,000 dollars per gram. Each can contains 600 grams, bringing the total to exactly 600,000 dollars." I hold out the payment terminal and give him a pleasant smile. "So, are you paying by card, or would you rather go to prison?"

"You're the one who said free meals were a perk for car owners!" Daniel Dawson snapped. "What, are you trying to go back on your word now?"

I fixed him with a cold stare, struggling to keep my temper in check. "Coming in for a free meal once in a while as a perk for car owners is perfectly reasonable. Nobody has a problem with that. But you show up here almost every day with your entire family, eat our food, and take home whatever you can get your hands on. What do you think this place is, a damn soup kitchen?"

Instead of showing the slightest bit of shame, Daniel slammed his hand on the table. "Cut the crap! Refusing to let me eat here is a breach of our original agreement! You're ripping off your own customers! Just you wait. I'll report this dump to the local consumer protection agency and have the whole place shut down!"

As his voice grew louder and the situation spiraled out of control, my coworker Ethan Brooks went pale. He hurried over, tugged anxiously at the hem of my shirt, and leaned in to plead with me in a low voice. "Come on, man. Just let it go. Why make trouble when we don't have to? This guy isn't someone we can afford to mess with. Don't make things worse."

The moment Daniel realized Ethan was backing down, his arrogance went through the roof. He snatched the takeout Ethan had just ordered right out of his hands and tore open the packaging as if it belonged to him.

"See that? Even he knows better than to mess with me. You're the only idiot in this place stupid enough to keep running your mouth."

He dropped onto the sofa, crossed one leg over the other, and pointed at the empty cup on the table. "Now get over here and bring me a glass of water!"

Then he leaned back and added smugly, "And I want a proper apology. Maybe then I'll consider letting this slide."

I'd had enough. Did this guy seriously think he was royalty? Ethan and the others might have been afraid of him, but I sure as hell wasn't.

"You bought a cheap commuter car that barely cost 50,000 dollars, and now you think you're some kind of big shot? This dealership is a business, not your personal playground. We have rules, just like everyone else!"

"Oh, so you've got a mouth on you, huh?"

Daniel sprang to his feet, his face twisted with humiliation and rage, and shoved me so hard that I crashed to the floor.

"This place doesn't belong to you! You're just some nobody working for a paycheck. Who the hell do you think you are, sticking your nose into my business?"

He jabbed a finger at me and sneered. "Let me make one thing clear. My cousin is the sales director here! All it takes is one word from me, and you'll be packing your bags before you know it!"

I couldn't help laughing. So, that was why he'd been strutting around like he owned the place. He had someone in management backing him up, and he thought that made him untouchable.

I had no intention of wasting another second arguing with an entitled bully, so I pulled out my phone to call the police.
