I work at a dealership, and from what I've seen, you shouldn't be worrying. Most of my experience has been mentioned in this thread, but I'll reiterate it.

The good news:

The vast majority of people who are in charge of driving cars from A to B are older, chill people. I have only once seen a dude who even looked like he was in his 20's; most seem to be at least in their 40's. I've ridden with a few and they all drive REALLY SLOWLY. These guys are in no rush...they just recline the seat back and cruise on the highway. Hopefully there's a highway between your two dealerships, and not a bunch of sweet twisties haha.

In a nutshell, most people who work with new cars work with A LOT of them. And you know what? Very few people are actually in 'hoon mode' 100% of the time. Most people are just putting in their 9-5 mindlessly moving cars around in a normal way. We all drive on public roads...you see those slow zombies out there? Yeah, those same "average" people are also employed to drive cars from A to B.

The bad news:

Young, immature, ignorant, stupid, or just plain disrespectful people can pop up anywhere, at any time. One time I was dropping off a car at another dealership and I came up behind a brand new (still had the foam on the door jambs) Hyundai Genesis coupe at a stoplight. When the light turned green, the kid behind the wheel did a hard launch with tires squealing!! That car couldn't possibly have had even triple digit mileage on it.
