Now, are you telling me that's acceptable practice for non-prestigious hospitals? If not, then why is joyriding acceptable at non-prestigious dealerships? Get it through your head: this isn't an issue about a mechanic's skill level, it's about common decency in treating other people's property with respect, and that's something that should be expected of people no matter their social strata.
Decency and respect are not something you can quantify as the meaning to each person you ask will be different. I don't think what they did was best practice however, its always easy to sit back and argue about it from the bleachers when it comes to other peoples actions. Even worse judging peoples actions that were recorded without permission or knowledge.

Maybe I am getting old but after years of being burned and humilated by dealerships and others in service oriented jobs there is one thing I have learned and in closing is my final point, you can't change others. You can only change your reactions/actions.
When it comes to personal property as soon as you relinquish it to others to perform a service you are at the mercy of their behavor. You can argue if it is right wrong or in between all you want it won't change a thing.
