Re: Wednesday Service Plays
N. Illinois at Miami Ohio
Pick: N. Illinois +17
Huskies are much improved from a team that managed just seven wins two years ago and six last year as they have already achieved six this season. Red hawks play ugly, which means defense is the strong suit here. They have only managed to top 70 points on the season one time, so a bushel of points here becomes very appealing. They have averaged under 60 over their last eight, so if the Huskies can find their way into the mid 40s they are going to be inside this number and they have failed to reach 50 just one time this season. Huskies hang around big numbers as they have been 8-3 ATS on the road at 13 or more, while the Red Hawks just 2-7 ATS at home trying to topple 13 or more on the line. Too many points here, and N. Illinois gets the call.

Syracuse vs. Providence
Play: Providence -2
#15 Syracuse (17-4) visits Providence (13-6) in another tough Big East battle. The Friars at an impressive 10-2 at home while the Orange have the same number of road losses two but only three wins. Syracuse has beatup on their non-conference schedule buy has now lost three of four to Big East competition. Take PROVIDENCE!

Washington Wizards at Miami Heat
This has been a low-scoring head to head series to begin with as five of the last six meetings have stayed Under the number, including the previous two this season, which saw just 174 and 181 points scored respectively. Wizards are 26-17 Under this season, the Heat are on a 62-42 Under run at home. Wizards are 8-0 Under in division play and 8-0 Under on the road when the posted number falls between 190 and 199.5. They are 16-5 Under off a loss by 15+ points.
Play on: Under

1 Unit on Timberwolves +1.5
Minnesota is on fire and it is still getting no respect. The Wolves have won 10 of their last 12 SU and are on a 13-3-1 ATS Run. Meanwhile, the Pistons have dropped 7 of 9 SU and ATS. Minnesota already has a 26-point win over Detroit this season and has taken the Pistons in 8 of the last 12 at the Target Center . The Timberwolves are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog while the Pistons are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following a SU loss and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Take the Wolves.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Alex Smart
Golden State Warriors @ Dallas Mavericks
PICK: Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors despite of their ugly record on the season are currently playing very hard,and competitive basketball. The Warriors have won 3 of their L/5 games, and in their L/7 trips to the hardwood have lost 3 times, twice by 1 point and once by 2 points, including a 106-105 loss vs the extremely talented Cleveland Cavaliers. So even though they are on the road tonight, must not be over looked against a Dallas team that is playing with a lack of cohesiveness and consistency, and has struggled vs Golden State in the recent past, failing to cover 11 of 15 battles in this series.
Final notes & Key Trends:The Underdog has bitten the man at a 20-8-1 clip in the last 29 confrontations. The Mavericks have failed in 20 of their last 28 at home ATS and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.
Projected score: Dallas 107 Golden State 105 -Play on Golden State to cover
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Jeff Benton
OK, I'm done with Maryland. After the Terps laid that colossal egg at Duke on Saturday, I gave them a shot to redeem themselves against Boston College last night and they went out and turned a 16-point second-half lead into a seven-point loss … at home! Despite that loser, I'm still on a 45-28 roll with free plays, and I'll improve on that mark Wednesday as I back the lowly Kings plus the big points against Boston.
Obviously, there's no comparing these two squads – at 37-9, the Celtics are well on their way to earning another high playoff seed, while the 10-36 Kings are once again headed for the draft lottery. And certainly Boston more than proved its supremacy against the Kings exactly a month ago, when it went to Sacramento and won 108-68 as a 12½-point road favorite (easily the most lopsided result for either team this season).
However, understand the circumstances leading into that game: The Kings were in the midst of a coaching transition, and the Celtics were coming off a two-game losing streak after 19 straight wins and were looking to make a statement (and they clearly did). This time around, there's no chip on the Celtics' shoulder. They've won eight in a row and cashed in six straight, and I just don't see them being motivated to cover this massive impost (which is by far Boston's biggest spread of the season), particularly with a big road game at Detroit on deck Friday.
Yes, the Kings are in a brutal spot – they've lost six straight games; they're closing out a six-game road trip; and they had to play LeBron and the Cavs just last night in Cleveland. But they didn't lay down last night at all, losing just 117-110 as a 14-point underdog and playing the Cavs basically dead even for three of the four quarters. Also, the Kings have cashed in each of their last two trips to Boston, including last year's 90-78 defeat as a 15-point underdog (and the road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five in this series).
Bottom line: Because of Sacramento's back-to-back situation, because of what happened in last month's meeting in California and because the Celtics are on another spread-covering spree, this line is way over-inflated. We'll take the value and call for a Boston win in the 10- to 14-point range.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Matt Rivers
For Wednesday take the points with LSU.
Has anybody noticed that Bruce Pearl's Volunteers are just not very good right now? Tennessee burned me in that last game at home as they lost to Memphis and have now dropped three of their last four games in Knoxville after not losing there for years and the lone win came against South Carolina in a non-cover. Something is clearly missing right now as UT mustered a whole 52 points in that last game is just not right.
I cannot say that I fully trust this LSU team on the road as they are fairly mediocre themselves after losing Anthony Randolph to the NBA after last season but the Tigers are capable and should be in this thing throughout. Trent Johnson has his team at 15-4 and even though they have played a bunch of creampuffs and just lost to a really good Xavier team are still feeling good about themselves. Marcus Thornton is a stud and guys like Garrett Temple, Terry Mitchell and others are competent at the very worst.
The Vols are lacking pretty much any confidence right now and until they step on the neck of an opponent are a must go against right now for sure. Actually screw that last step on the neck statement I just said, until they win a game I will gladly go against them in a spot like this.
The Tigers have covered three straight in the series and there is no reason at all why it won't become four.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Craig Davis
I'm going to back Austin Peay as the slight road dog at Eastern Kentucky.
Three things I noticed right off the bat when breaking down this game: First, EKU doesn't play well in the role of a favorite (1-8 ATS their last nine laying points). Second, they don't play well versus the number in their conference, covering just 3 of their last 16. Third, Austin Peay covers better on the road than they do at home, bringing the cash in seven of their last eight on the highway.
Austin Peay has beaten EKU already this season and tonight they're getting points. That's good enough for me as they complete the season sweep.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Karl Garrett
Sacramento at BOSTON -17
Talk about a "blowout", you can expect one tonight in Boston, as the lowly Kings come to town after an underdog cover last night at Cleveland.
Sacramento has now lost 6 straight, and tonight's game will be their 4th game in the last 5 days, ALL on the road! That grueling trek is enough to crumble any team, but when you consider the first meeting between these teams this season at Arco Arena produced a 108-63 Celtics slaughter, and when you also consider that the Kings have not topped 78-points in any of their last 3 games played against the C's, you can see why the G-Man is calling for another rout of epic proportions.
Boston is rolling strong once again, winning 8 straight, covering 7 straight, and the Celtics are 22-2 straight up at home, sporting a 15-9 home spread mark.
Man, this one is going to get very ugly, very early.
Blowout of the night in the NBA going on Boston minus the points.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Sports Gambling Hotline
South Florida +17 at LOUISVILLE
This looks like as good a spot as any to grab the bushelful of points, and go with the Bulls to stay semi-close at Louisville tonight.
The Cardinals have tangled with Big East heavyweights Villanova, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, and Syracuse over their last 5 outings, and they do have a home Saturday date with West Virginia up next. You can easily see Rick Pitino's team going through the motions, and comfortably winning this game, but not covering the big impost.
South Florida hasn't been within single digits in the last 4 series meetings, and that includes a 13-point home court loss to the Cardinals earlier this month as the 10-point home dog. A similar final tonight will have us inside this roomy impost.
Every team has a natural letdown spot, and tonight's home date sure looks like that spot for the 'Ville.
Expect Rick Pitino's team to get out in front, stay out in front, but ease up in the closing minutes, thus allowing the Bulls to leave Freedom Hall with the underdog cover.
Play on Da' Bulls!
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Ted Sevransky
Golden State Warriors @ Dallas Mavericks
PICK: Golden State Warriors
Dallas has the single worst pointspread record of any team in the NBA at home. If you've bet against the Mavs in every home game this year you've gone 15-5 ATS with your wagers, cashing at a 75% clip. And there's no reason to think the anti-Mavs gravy train is coming to an end tonight when the under-rated Warriors come to town.
Golden State got a huge boost with the return of Monta Ellis to the lineup last week, after he missed the entire first half of the season recovering from his offseason moped accident. Corey Maggette is finally healthy. Stephen Jackson is finally healthy. Jamal Crawford could be back in the lineup tonight after missing the last two games with a bad hamstring. With that quartet in the lineup, the Warriors are extremely dangerous offensively, particularly against a bad defensive team like the Mavs.
Dallas got blown off the court against the Celtics on Sunday. They got blown off the court at Milwaukee last Wednesday. They've allowed 49% shooting from three point range in their last five games! With defensive liability Jason Kidd unable to contain opposing point guards, a drive and dish team like the Warriors should have all kinds of open perimeter looks. Facing a Warriors team that hasn't lost a game by more than two points in their last seven contests, look for Golden State to hang from start to finish tonight. 2* Take the Warriors.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
King Creole
ATLANTA HAWKS plus the point(s) vs the New York Knicks
On Monday, King Creole and SPEEDEE and the gang were ON the New York Knicks and they rewarded our faith with an outright dog win over the Houston Rockets. On Wednesday, we will be 'fading' New York as they are now in a prime Play AGAINST situation.... the same one that we used against Houston on Monday. The line in this game is pretty manageable. 2 weeks ago, New York would NOT have been a home favorite versus a Hawk team that's 26-18 SU on the year. But 5 straight ATS wins (and two SU losses for Atlanta) has obviously changed the mindset of the oddsmakers.
371-7 ATS so far in 2008/09: All NBA Conference underdogs (HAWKS) playing any opponent that's off a SU underdog win (like New York). ROAD teams in this situation (HAWKS) have gone a very impressive 29-12 ATS. If our doggie is off a DD SU loss, the results improve to 12-2 ATS (HAWKS). And if these doggies are actually playing off back-to-back SU and ATS losses (like ATLANTA is), the results improve to a PERFECT 5-0 ATS so far this season.
Don't be afraid to fade the Knicks despite their current got ATS run (5-0 ATS last 5 games).So far in the month of JANUARY, NBA home favorites playing off 5 or more ATS wins in a row (New York) are 1-6 ATS.... and a PERFECT 0-5 ATS in the last 3 weeks.
Atlanta comes off a 'bitch-slappin' road loss to division rival Miami (down here in sunny South Florida)... by a final score of 95-79 on Sunday. No worries....So far in the 2008/09 season, NBA road teams are a PERFECT 4-0 ATS when playing off a SU divison loss of 15 or more points (HAWKS).
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Ben Burns
Buffalo Sabres @ Calgary Flames
PICK: Calgary Flames
The Sabres won big at Edmonton last night. However, they haven't been strong when playing the second of back to back games and Calgary is an even tougher venue. Indeed, while Edmonton is now 11-12 (11-9-3) at home, the Flames are a much stronger 17-8 (17-5-3) here at Calgary.
While the Sabres are 3-7 (-5.2) the last 10 times that they played the second of back to back games, the Flames are a perfect 5-0 the last five times that they played after having three or more days worth of rest in between games. With the Flames at 6-2 vs. teams from the East, consider laying the price with the home team.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Chicago @ Anaheim
Play: 1* Chicago -120
Blackhawks are 7-0 in their last 7 games as a road favorite of -110 to -150. Blackhawks are 8-1 in their last 9 games as a favorite of -110 to -150. Blackhawks are 8-2 in their last 10 games as a road favorite. Blackhawks are 4-1 in their last 5 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Blackhawks are 6-2 in their last 8 vs. a team with a losing record. Blackhawks are 23-9 in their last 32 games as a favorite. Blackhawks are 11-5 in their last 16 Wednesday games. Ducks are 2-5 in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. Ducks are 2-6 in their last 8 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. Ducks are 3-9 in their last 12 vs. a team with a winning record. Ducks are 2-9 in their last 11 games as an underdog. Ducks are 1-5 in their last 6 Wednesday games. Ducks are 1-6 in their last 7 games as an underdog of +110 to +150. Ducks are 1-7 in their last 8 games following a win. Ducks are 0-4 in their last 4 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. We'll recommend a small play on Chicago tonight!
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Stephen Nover
Toronto Raptors @ New Jersey Nets
PICK: Toronto Raptors
Toronto is finally healthy and its rotation is back to normal with Jose Calderon and Jermaine O'Neal back in the lineup. Everybody has returned to their normal position. The Raptors are a team worth keeping an eye on.
The Raptors have scored 113 points versus Sacramento and 114 against Chicago since Calderon returned.
The Raptors have been idle since Sunday. New Jersey is playing for the first time at home following a 1-3 road trip that ended with a disappointing and embarrassing loss at Oklahoma City.
New Jersey is just 8-15 against the spread at home, getitng luke-warm crowd support.
The Nets have internal and morale issues. Lawrence Frank could be the next coach fired. He continues to have conflicts with Vince Carter and Devin Harris, who were a combined six-for-29 from the floor against the Thunder. Carter and Harris are a combined 17-for-61 shooting from the floor in their last two games against the Raptors, which occurred on Dec. 12 and Dec. 15.
The Nets hold a 2-1 series lead on the Raptors this season. The Raptors are motivated not to finish 1-3 against the Nets, a team they really dislike for knocking them out of the playoffs in Round One two years ago.
The Nets will be missing injured Yi Jianlian, which reduces the team's versatility, and Stromile Swift, the team leader in field goal percentage.
New Jersey hasn't broken the 100-point barrier in its last seven games. Its scoring is way down in this seven-game stretch averaging 91 points compared to 99.8 points during the previous five games.
This is a one-unit play for me.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Pittsburgh Panthers at Villanova Wildcats
Play: Villanova +3.5
This is a very good matchup spot for the Wildcats because they are one of the teams in the Big East who can go to the boards as well as their opponent tonight. They proved how lethal they can be just the other night at South Florida dominating that phase of the game 41-26. They have been especially good at doing that right here at home with a rebound edge of right at 6 per game. This team also plays very good D, allowing just 38% shooting, and 58 points per contest on this floor. And they have stepped that up a notch. There is not much more I can say about this one and so these brief thoughts will be it. At 3-3 in the conference, the Wildcats need this game as bad as can be and I expect them to come out hungry to get it. I would play this one at pick'em but happy to have the small spot.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays

Take Miami Heat -8.5 over Washington Wizards
Take the Heat over the Washington Wizards in Miami tonight. The Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA on the road at just 3-19 this year. The Heat are just finishing up a 4 game home stand, on which they are already 3-1. The Wizards are currently on a 3 game slide, and they've dropped 10 of their last 12 overall. Miami has 4 straight wins against the spread against teams with a losing record, while Washington has lost 5 of their last 6 games against the spread on the road. The Wizards have covered in 7 of their last 8 at Miami, but this is one of the worst teams Washington has had in recent memory. I'll take the Heat at home.
Take Wake Forest +1.5 over Duke
Wake Forest can certainly hold their own against the nations newly-crowned #1 team, the Duke Blue Devils. Last season, with the exact same starting rosters, the Demon Deacons defeated Duke by a final score of 86-73 at Wake Forest. It was considered a huge upset last season with the Blue Devils losing by 13 points as 8 point favorites, but this year it won't be quite a shocking. It's obvious that both teams have improved, but the edge still leans toward Wake on their home court. They have edges in shooting percentage, rebounding, and scoring offense that can't be overlooked. Both teams have put forth impressive defensive efforts this season, with Wake giving up 62 points per game at home this season and Duke giving up the same amount on the road. It will be a close game for sure, but I think the Demon Deacons walk way with the victory over Duke.
Re: Wednesday Service Plays
Larry Ness
UAB @ Tulsa
PICK: Tulsa
UAB enters tonight's contest with Tulsa at 13-7 overall and a 3-2 record in C-USA play. Tulsa owns the exact same record. UAB is coming off a 38-point home win over Rice in which the 6-5 Robert Vaden (19.0-5.6) posted a game-high 21 points, while the Lawrence Kinnard (14.6-9.1) scored 15 points and collected seven rebounds. PG Delaney (16.5-4.6-3.1) is the team's third double digit scorer and he's joined in the backcourt by Georgia transfer Toney (7.5-3.5) with the 6-8 Crawford (7.4) rounding out the starting-five. The Golden Hurricane made 48.0 percent of their attempts from the floor in Saturday's impressive eight-point road win over UTEP. The 7-0 Jerome Jordan (14.0-9.6) scored 21 points and hauled in 14 rebounds to lead Tulsa in the win, while leading scorer Ben Uzoh (15.6-4.3-3.7) tallied 17 points. Hurtt (8.1) and Andrews (7.4) join Uzoh in the backcourt, with 6-5 swingman Reese (9.0-4.0), the 6-6 Wheatley (5.5-4.0), the 6-10 Idlet (4.0-3.1), the 6-9 Mitchell (2.1-3.3) and the 6-7 Richard (1.4-2.6) helping out Jordan inside. UAB opened with three straight road wins but has since dropped all five of its road games, covering just once. Tulsa leads C-USA in scoring defense allowing 59.7 PPG and could be poised for another late-season run (went 15-4 to end last year, including taking the inaugural CBI tourney). Lay the points with Tulsa.

Toronto Raptors vs. New Jersey Nets
Play: New Jersey Nets +2
The Nets have taken two of three from the Raptors this season and they'll make it three of four with this one. Look for big things from Nets' point gard Devin Harris who is averaging 21.5 points and 6.4 assists per game. New Jersey is back at home after four-games on the highway that saw them go 2-2 ATS but lose at Oklahoma City on Monday. That was an embarassing loss and they'll bounce back tonight.
Toronto has won two in a row, but that's only after losing seven straight (2-4-1 ATS). The Raptors got a 113-97 home win over the Kings on Sunday as nine-point favorites.We're going to play the Nets at home in this one to get the job done Wednesday Night.

DescriptionAfter several attacks to mercantile ships by what was identified as a giant sea monster, the government of the United States sends an expedition to kill the creature. The expedition ship finds the monster and engages in a fierce battle with it, throwing Professor Pierre Aronnax, his assistant Conseil and the Canadian harpooner Ned Land overboard on top of the creature. They discover that the "monster" is in fact a large submarine, and are quickly captured by its crew and brought aboard to meet the captain of the vessel.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo is a hidden object game adaptation of the classic 1869 novel by Jules Verne. Most of the time, the objective is to find and click on all the items listed at the bottom of the screen on locations related to the plot, like the many rooms of the submarine cluttered with assorted objects.

Is this a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification?
The primary subject matter of this case concerns human resource management, particularly the issues of discrimination, and the Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) exception to Title VII of the civil rights act and the Age Discrimination in employment act. This case has a difficulty level of three to four, and is appropriate for an upper division, undergraduate level. This case is designed to be taught in one class hour, and is expected to require two to three hours of outside preparation by students.
This case examines the Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) exception in discrimination cases. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act expands this protection to cover age discrimination against people over 40. However, there is an exception, the BFOQ. Under certain circumstances, an employer can discriminate, if age, gender or national origin can be shown to be a legitimate requirement, in order to perform the job. In this case, the BFOQ is defined, the criteria for a BFOQ are listed, and the limits to BFOQ are discussed. Several real examples are given of cases in which a company has alleged a BFOQ exists. Students are asked to examine each example, and determine which, if any are legitimate BFOQs. The main focus of this case is to teach students to apply the criteria from Title VII of the civil rights act BFOQ exemption, to real situations.
I have often found that students do not clearly understand the concept of Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications, without seeing specific examples of BFOQs. This case was designed to help clarify this particular issue, in a manner that allows insightful discussion of the topic.
Generally, the approach I take with this is to divide the class up into small groups, and assign them each one or more of the cases to discuss. Then each group will present their determinations to the class, and we will discuss, as a whole, whether the analysis picked up the important facets of the case. Each of these cases is based on a specific real situation, and all but one have been decided in a court of law. The specifics of each case follow:
This is based on two specific cases. The first is Robinson vs. Kenosha Youth foundation. In this case the Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission determined that it was a legitimate BFOQ, to require male counselors for positions in which they were to provide same-sex role models for pre-delinquent male children. Similarly, in Stonecipher vs. DILHR, a The Dane County (WI) Circuit court upheld sex as a BFOQ for child care workers in a juvenile detention center, based on the need to provide same-sex role models. To answer the specific questions the students are to reply to:
1) Is this practice discriminatory? Yes, this practice discriminates based on sex of the applicant.
2) Is the BFOQ defense legitimate? Yes. Providing a same-sex role model for children, particularly delinquent, or pre-delinquent children, has been upheld as a BFOQ.
3) Why, or why not?
Psychologists can show compelling evidence of a relationship between same-sex role models, and the success of programs designed to avoid delinquency, or rehabilitate delinquents.
This case is the case of Western Air Lines Inc. Vs. Criswell 472 U.S. 400 (1985). This particular case was decided by a U.S. District court, and appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court upheld the district court decision, which found that age was not a BFOQ.
1) Is this practice discriminatory?
Yes, age is being used as the determining factor in hiring.
2) Is the BFOQ defense legitimate?
According to the U.S. District court, and upheld by the U.S. Supreme court, no.
3) Why, or why not?
In order for a qualification to be a legitimate BFOQ, all or nearly all of the excluded group must be incapable of performing the work. While the airline was able to establish that more people over 60 were incapable of performing the duties, they could not convincingly show that the whole class of workers was unable. In fact, the airline used individual testing to determine fitness of its under 60 employees, and there was no reason that they could not continue to assess the fitness of the employees on an individual basis, once they hit 60. The plaintiffs in this case also used the practices of other airlines, who allowed flight engineers over 60, and had not had problems from doing so, to rebut the airline's claim.
This case is loosely based on several suits filed against Hooters. Most notably, a class action suit was filed against the chain by 7 males who applied for wait staff positions, and were rejected based on their sex. Hooters settled the case in 1997 for $ 3.75 million, avoiding a legal decision in the case. The lack of a court decision is an important item to note, as they avoided a legal condemnation of their business as unacceptable. This leaves the actual BFOQ question unanswered. The specifics of the settlement raise more questions than they answer.
1) Is this practice discriminatory?
Yes, men are not considered for wait staff "hooters girl" positions.
2) Is the BFOQ defense legitimate?
There is not clear unambiguous legal precedent. On the side arguing no, there is the fact that Hooters was forced to pay $3.75 to settle a class action suit, thereby supporting the idea that they were doing something wrong. However, on the side arguing BFOQ, they point to the fact that the settlement allows Hooters to continue their operations, with an all female wait staff. However, they were required to make some other positions (eq. bartender and host) gender neutral.
3) Why, or why not?
One issue to discuss here, is the centrality of "vicarious sexual recreation," to their business model. Hooters says the "Hooters girl" experience is a central part of their business model. Opponents say that Hooters operates as a restaurant, not a sex show, and therefore the sex of the wait staff is not an important facet of the business model.
It should be pointed out at this point, that business operating sex shows (strip clubs) have successfully defended sex discrimination as a BFOQ. The sex of the stripper is crucial in the delivery of the desired service to the customer. On the opposite side, it should be pointed out that customer preference is not an acceptable BFOQ. Whether the majority of customers in a truck stop prefer that a female waitress serve their eggs and toast, is irrelevant. If a male waiter can do the job, then the fact that the customer would prefer a female is irrelevant. It might also be pointed out that customer preference was one of the arguments that many businesses attempted to use to defend race discrimination, during the 1960s.
This is based on the case Slivka vs. Camden Clarke Memorial Hospital (2004). The details of the case are exactly as described in the main portion of this paper.
1) Is this practice discriminatory?
Yes, sex is used as a criterion for hiring
2) Is the BFOQ defense legitimate?
According to the West Virginia Supreme Court, Yes.
3) Why, or why not?
In determining the BFOQ in this case, the court focused on the privacy of the patient. Due to the highly personal nature of obstetrics, and the necessity for the patient to have their private parts exposed during examinations, requiring same sex nurses was determined to be an allowable BFOQ. This was in spite of evidence that other hospitals successfully used male obstetric nurses. In fact, the plaintiff in this case, Mr. Slivka, had served previously as an obstetrics nurse at Marietta Memorial Hospital.

Jalaine Amber + Jalaine Vanilla gets me compliments.
Also Nuits de Noho by Bond No. 9.
Thread: Recent Compliments
I only recently started wearing perfume on a regular basis, so this is new to me! I'm sure you guys get it all the time. So, please share yours too and list the fragrance for reference.
1. From a girl at work: "Are you wearing perfume?...I can't quite tell, but I keep smelling something awesome." (Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil)
2. From my little sister when I got in the car "MMMM YOU SMELL YUMMY" (Delices de Cartier)
Jalaine Amber + Jalaine Vanilla gets me compliments.
Also Nuits de Noho by Bond No. 9.
Last compliment I got was when I was wearing Black Aoud by Montale.
Ridiculously, it is Escada Lily Chic that garnered me most compliments during the summer time and autumn. Right now Mr.Twolf noticed Timbuktu, Bois de Paradis and Histoire d'Eau on me (the last one reminded him of head shop!), and one co-worker said that the vintage Quelques Fleurs reminded her of her Grandma.
Most recent compliment I got was on Silver Factory.
Most reliable compliment-getter for me is Flowerbomb.

"Another way to take up more space is to wear perfume. I really love wearing perfume." ANDY WARHOL
Sticking strictly to "compliments" it would have to be (gasp) JLo's Miami Glo. followed quickly by KM Loukhoum and (another gasp) Pink Sugar.
But I have a huge fan base that limits itself to "You always smell so good!"....and I don't pay them all that much!!
"The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering." Lao Tze
My most recent is DKNY Delicious Night.
Bernat that Hermes perfume is something else. It's funny because I smelled one of them and didn't like it. So, I just never smelled anything else by them. I'm so glad I decided to give them another chance. I wore my sample of the Elixir last week and got compliments on it. I am going to get the Elixir and Un Jardin. They have gift sets in both at Bloomies.

A friend sat down next to me and said, "Oh, you smell good." Then his eyes widened, and he leaned in, inhaled deeply, and exclaimed, "Ohhhhhh. You smell reeeeaaalllly good!"
I'm with chloefpuff: Flowerbomb has the highest batting average in my rotation.
Sniff and let sniff.
Love's True Bluish Light never fails to win admirers, never. I have had total strangers stop me on this one.
DH loves Incense Tibet, previously the only scent he liked was Diorissimo (but that one just doesn't smell like it did years ago)
Other scents that have won praise lately: Rasa, Genvieve, Balmain de Balmain and Chergui
The only scents I've ever been complimented on are Ava Luxe Venus Sands ( the men seem to like this one)... and Elixir des Merveilles...which gets many compliments...except for from my sister who absolutely hates it... it must be the ambergris...to her it smells of "cats' wee and incontinence". But since I love it, and a lot of other people seem to appreciate it I ignore her naysaying!
Oh, a couple of weeks ago I was waiting at the bus stop and these two girls near me were trying to work out what "that amazing smell" was... I'm pretty sure it was me lol... I had doused myself in Omnia to ward against the chilly, drizzly weather

Recently I have got fantastic compliments on Caron Sacre (spesially men)
I also got a compliment on Bois d'Iris, from a lady who are quite masculine.
One day at work I was wearing a sample of Burberry Brit. Got compliments from a classy lady. She asked me to order it for her - which I did of course
I actually get a lot of compliments whenever I just wear my ol' standby TBS White Musk, and yes, the Pink Sugar usually gets some *yummies*.
Carnal Flower garners me the most compliments, TF Black Orchid runs a close second.
I get most of my compliments (men and woman) on Shocking, but received loads of compliments Sat. nite at a Christmas party on Burberry Brit. The men really seem to like this one!
"Woe to the one who's love of elixirs, grows into madness"
I've gotten loads of compliments on Creed's Love In White. FM's En Passant also gets me compliments -and people are always surprised to hear that it's lilac......Fleur D'Oranger is another one.
I always get compliments when I wear Dolce & Gabbana (red cap). Since it is quite strong it is usually the case of 'What is that perfume?' (in a good way) and of sniffing the air before I admit it is me LOL. The sweet, creamy cloud just floats around and when I first started wearing it I wasn't aware it was coming from me (so I'd sniff the air and wonder what the sweet creaminess was). I always feel confident when I wear it because of the positive comments.

I'm complimented almost every time I wear Alien. Today I wore Twirl all Girly and a male co-worker trailed me around like a happy puppy.
I received my FIRST-EVER perfume compliment today!
West Side by Bond No 9.
The only person to compliment me is my husband. And he absolutely loves Fracas, he'll even dash into the room if he thinks I'm spraying it on.
Though the downside is for most fragrances he'll say "It's not as nice as Fracas..."
The closest second for him is Prada, for which he said "I guess you could wear that when you are not wearing Fracas!"
Well, I rarely get complimented because my skin is where scent goes to die a quick death. So I'm lucky if I get sillage. I got frustrated one day and asked my friends if they liked my 'fume, and they're like, "Huh? You're wearing perfume? I can't smell anything." (And yet this perfume obsession is still going on strong...)
The ONLY compliments I've recieved... (see, I remember these, because they're few and far between)...
Ginestet - Botrytis
My acquaintence, after giving me a hug: "You smell so good!" I wore it all last winter, but I think the juice inside has turned, because the tobacco note is overriding the honey, and it smells sour... :-( I'm DEVASTATED. I really, really loved it. Oh, I also introduced it to a fellow perfume friend, and she went online and ordered it the next day. Haha.
Ineke - After My Own Heart
My friend complimented me once, yey.
Parfums 06130 - Yuzu Rouge
Well, it's not really a huge compliment, but a good friend was like, "Hmm... this smells like something my brother's fiance has. It's nice."
Parfums DelRae - Bois de Paradis
No verbal compliments, but the first day I wore this people stood VERY close to me and kept on edging closer, so I took that to be a compliment.
I got compliment with Spiriteuse Double Vanille by Guerlain about a week ago
Current favorites:
Jicky, Mitsouko, Shiseido Susuro,Or et Noir
I love compliments. What can I say? I'm insecure! Compliments will you you everywhere with me.
Anyway, I got the most compliments I've ever gotten the other day, when I was wearing a vintage sample of Coty Chypre. Unfortunately, Coty Chypre isn't the easiest perfume to get a hold of. But after that day, I did buy a bottle of Chanel Pour Monsieur after I read that it is kind of similar to Chypre. I haven't worn Pour Monsieur yet, but if I get half the compliments I got when I was wearing Chypre, I'll be a very happy girl.
Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.--Dorothy Parker
I tend to be lucky in the fact that my skin holds scent very well, and I wear mostly older heavier scents. I receive compliments on most of them, which is funny because they are the ones most people have trouble wearing; Guerlains, Carons, older Diors, and of course Bandit (original) which is not as friendly as the newer re-issue. I guess I know which ones to avoid; L'eau d'Issey and such.
Last year, Coco Mademoiselle got me some compliments. Samsara only once.
However, In general I don't get many compliments on perfume (which I used to resent because I felt that I spend money on it for nothing) because my chemistry...well, "eats fragrance" and my skin does not project the fragrance all around.
This year I swtiched to No 5...so I am waiting for a compliment on this one. I do not have major illusions though because it is a fragrance that stays very close to my skin. It does not project out...
Despite all this, I adore it. It makes me feel great.

I second Brielle - I have no problem wearing Guerlain's or Caron's - and get compliments on them- even from people who after inquiring about what I'm wearing say "Oh - I hate that on me but on you it smells great". I get compliments from DH a lot - but he's also very vocal about what he doesn't like. Interestingly I get thumbs up's from my students - many of whom arrive to morning classes unbathed and malodorous - one of the reasons I wear more scent to school than anywhere else - would rather smell me than them
Most recent compliment was on Bois de Paradis that I was sampling.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.

I don't get many compliments, but I've only really just started seriously wearing perfume. I don't get any at work, but it's only a very small sort of company anyway. I'm waiting till I go back to University to see if I get more compliments there.
MOST of my compliments come from my mum, who will hug me when I go to work and then say "Oh you smell really nice!" the last one was Revlon Fire & Ice. She also said "What an adorable bottle! It's so pretty!" to Miss Dior Cherie which she hasn't smelt me wearing just yet. I also stuck my wrist under my younger brother's nose when I was wearing Cherie and he said distractedly "That's pretty nice." which is actually quite a BIG compliment from my brother.
My boyfriend has only ever complimented me on Guess? Woman. On two occasions he has said "You smell really nice."
Oh, and I always show my perfumes to my 13 year old sister, who quite likes them, especially Davidoff Echo Woman, L de Lolita Lempicka and Miss Dior Cherie.
The only compliments I've gotten are from my husband, who knows that I'm cycling through different scents. I try to avoid much sillage, since I take the bus often. Also, once I start up at university again, I'll actually be starting up work AT uni again, so I have to switch to "work scents".
I did get an unsolicited comment from hubby, however, in response to the drydown of Chanel No. 19 EDT:
"Are you wearing perfume? Something smells fruity. It smells good."
I also have a little anecdote to share, since you mentioned smelly students.
I go to University her in New Hampshire, and one day there was just a sour smell in one of the classrooms. Well I had a travel spray of Baghari by Piguet, so I proceeded to spray myself a little. Well one of my classmates had a violent reaction to it and had to leave the room...and did not return. No one could smell the horrid smell in the room, but everyone was up in arms about my Baghari. Only Madame, my professor, said "Oh something smells wonderful in here." when she came in, she is a grand lady 'of a certain age' and oh so very french. Shows how scent is perceived
I have just got compliments on Bois d'Armenie and Iris Ganache these 2 days
I get compliments almost everytime when I wear Guerlain.
Current favorites:
Jicky, Mitsouko, Shiseido Susuro,Or et Noir
My dear SIL, who is not especially interested in perfumes (she alternates between Allure and Happy), seldom comments on my perfume, except when I wear something she finds too sweet (which I often do ), bursted out a few days ago (after our usual greeting hug) - *WOW - what is that gorgeous perfume you've got on now??! It really suits you!* It was Chypre Rouge, and she cold even smell the pine needles in it!
Maybe I have to hire her as my 'perfume stylist'...
Eva (usually smelling of vanilla..)
Everything passes. Everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.

I was complimented on Angel Men Wednesday.....Gary
Gucci Envy Me - only the men have complimented me on this scent, saying that I smell "amazing"
VS So Sexy shampoo and conditioner - a guy friend couldn't stop hugging me when he smelled my hair.
Just three days ago...I was wearing Davidoff's Relax
When wearing A La Nuit, my 19 year old daughter said "Mom, you smell fresh & womanly" ~ I think that's a compliment!
Another day I wore Un Bois Vanille and my 9 year old son told me "you smell like a Krispy Kreme"! (For those of you who don't have Krispy Kremes...they are donuts!) I'll take that as a compliment too!
Habanita - a friend
Ombre Rose - my son.
Kadota: DH and a handful of others at the theater last night, such an earthy fig scent.
My daughter reports lots of positive feedback from the ALs I've given her, LTBL gets very high marks indeed. I got compliments from it too, and recently for Asprey Purple Water as well.
Most recent was La Perla's Parfum Prive on Friday, we went to see the movie Cloverfield & out of nowhere Mr.Tinker leaned over and said "You smell so good tonight!"
Also get compliments on:
L'Artisan- Mimosa Pour Moi
Neil Morris- Midnight Tryst & Summer of Love
Caron- Farnesiana
Today I received a compliment on Obsession while shopping at Macy's.
The woman said, "Oh my, you sure smell nice".
I just wanted to kiss her! She was an older black woman with a soft southern accent. She was just too cute!
Sometime I wish the aliens would abduct me and crown me as their leader.
George Noory
Just today, and I'm wearing Hollywood, Fred Hayman. ( Oh well, you just can't tell!)(wink)
well...hubby said I smelled good last nice but.....I was testing Ellen Tracy on one hand and VS Heavenly on the other hand. When I asked him which scent he smelled he drew a blank....maybe it was the combo of both???
I didn't much care for either one so I was a bit disappointed he complimented me on those scents.
I'm hoping to find a scent he will be wowed with as well as me being wowed with it. The sampling goes on

I have tried out a sample of SacreBleu. With this on, my boyfriend wants to eat me ... Of course I have ordered a full bottle now
Last weekend my husband commented favorably on Cabaret Gres EdP, it is now on the full bottle list.
Most recent comliment, last week, was for Chanel No 19 EdP. I got it at five o´clock in the afternoon, and I had put the EdP on at 6.30 in the morning... This is a longlasting fraganse.
Faves right now: Chanel No 19, Stella Rose Absolute, L´Heure Bleu, Elixir de Merveilles, Samsara.
I got home from school today and there was a package waiting for me - Elixir des Merveilles which (thanks to MikeP) I tested, and then decided to buy. Spritzed some on right away and sat down to do some work on the puter. We have a workman here doing some painting and plastering... he came downstairs and asked me in Spanish (he does not speak English) ¿Qué huele tan rico? (What smells so good/rich?) He said he could smell it as he came down the stairs ..He asked if it was perfume...and I said yes and explained the notes - orange and chocolate..vanilla. He said he is going to buy some for his wife. He repeated the comment several more times - he said the smell made him feel happy.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.
Quand on boit l'eau, il faut penser à sa source
Hi Brielle - I don't own the original - only tested it - tried one on one arm - one on the other and wore them for several hours. The original disappeared - the Elixir kept on going. The Elixir is richer - more honeyed, I don't find it too sweet - it's a refreshing change of pace for me. And it is NOT wimpy - you only need a spritz or two. The vanilla becomes more pronounced in the drydown as the orange notes disappear.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.
The original smelt like the old L'occitane Nutmeg Orange room spray on me, not very nice. This sounds too nice to resist.
Thanks again for the lovely description
Quand on boit l'eau, il faut penser à sa source
Brielle - I've discoved a great way to get discounts on fumes. I got 25 dollars off on Elixir. I got an amazon.com VISA card. I already buy lots of books via amazon, DH orders cd's - and I now use that card for lots of other purchases (even my gas) - not on amazon. About once a month I get a gift voucher from amazon for 25 bucks - which I apply to latest scent purchase.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.
Ha ha MikeP got me hooked on Elixir too. Doesn't it smell wonderful. I got the same reaction from a coworker when I tried a sample of it. She said everytime I walked passed her she would take a big whiff. She forgot to ask me what I was wearing, but she remembered to ask me the next day. I love the sweetness of it. I've gotten a compliment each time I've worn it. Don't you just love smellin good

Thanks for continuing to compile this list. I don't own a Routan, but I look at this thread periodically to see how all the VW models are selling.
On the subject of the Routan, it's good to see that it is still selling at better than 10,000 units per year. Not super strong sales, but not bad either considering.

Horse Racing: Jockeys' titles, Derby winners, injuries and libel trials in long career of the man from Wagga Wagga.
Breasley rode the winners of more than 2,000 races in Britain after his arrival from Australia in 1950, including two Derbys on Santa Claus and Charlottown, and proved himself a jockey of the highest standard.
Arthur Edward Breasley, born at Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, on May 7, 1914, picked up the nickname 'Scobie' in his early days, when his obvious enthusiasm for racing caused a friend of his father's to liken the boy to the successful trainer James Scobie.
His father, Sidney, was a sheep drover who trained horses for the country meetings in New South Wales and, with elder brother Sidney jnr a successful jockey, it was almost inevitable Scobie would follow the same path.
At the age of 13, Breasley was apprenticed to the Melbourne trainer Pat Quinlan, and his first success in a proper race - he had taken part in some of the picnic (Flat-race point-to-points) meetings - came on Noogee at Werribee in 1928.
His first important success came on Cragford in the Sydney Metropolitan, but was followed immediately by a two-month suspension for crossing too sharply to the rails.
That suspension was the first of many that Breasley was to receive in his home country.
Eventually, he reached the conclusion that some officials were waging a vendetta against him, and this was partly responsible for his moving to Britain.
But before he did so, Breasley was champion in Victoria three times (1944-46). He never won the Melbourne Cup, but took the Caulfield Cup five times, the AJC Derby, AJC St Leger twice, VRC Oaks and St Leger three times, and the Victoria Derby twice.
In 1950, he arrived in Britain to ride as stable jockey to Noel Cannon at Druid's Lodge in Wiltshire, where James Rank was the chief owner. He won on his first two rides for the stable and the following year rode Ki Ming, trained by Michael Beary, to victory in the 2,000 Guineas.
Also in 1951, his wins for the Druid's Lodge team included the Richmond and Solario Stakes on Gay Time, but he had returned to Australia in 1952 when that horse, ridden by Lester Piggott, finished second to Tulyar in the Derby and the King George.
Breasley was back in Britain, at Cannon's insistent request, for the 1953 season.
Following Rank's death, Druid's Lodge had been bought by Arthur Dewar and it was for him that Breasley won the 1954 1,000 Guineas on Festoon.
Rather untypically of the style that was later to become Breasley's hallmark, Festoon made every yard of the running. Time after time in years to come the jockey was to demonstrate a conspicuous flair for coming as late as possible and winning by narrow margins without giving his horse a hard race.
Only three days after Festoon's triumph, a fall at Alexandra Park resulted in Breasley's eyes being paralysed and his losing his sense of balance.
This was in the pre-crash helmet days, but although Breasley was told he might not walk again, let alone ride, he was determined not to accept the diagnosis and, helped by many hours playing golf, was back in the saddle three months later.
That fall was the first of several serious accidents Breasley was to have during his career in Britain, but he proved remarkably resilient and a highly creditable score of 57 victories in 1954 was followed by his first century a year later.
In 1956, he replaced Jock Wilson as first jockey to Sir Gordon Richards, who was then in his second season as a trainer, and they remained a team until Breasley retired in 1968.
In that first season together they won the Middle Park Stakes with Pipe Of Peace, and although that top-class colt could finish only third to Crepello in the 2,000 Guineas and Derby in 1957, Breasley's total of 173 wins was enough to give him his first jockeys' championship in Britain.
In 1958, Breasley took over the ride on the previous year's Derby runner-up Ballymoss and enjoyed a marvellous run with consecutive victories in the Coronation Cup, Eclipse, King George and Arc de Triomphe, even if the campaign did end in anti-climax when Ballymoss could finish only third in the Washington DC International.
He was runner-up for the championship in the next three seasons, twice to Doug Smith and once to Piggott, but regained it in 1961 and held it for the following two years. BREASLEY was not always isolated from controversy. His favoured riding style of coming as late as possible was bound to lead to criticism if he arrived too late, and in his autobiography A Lifetime in Racing he observed:
"I've pulled the odd stroke, but then who hasn't?"
Within less than two months at the tail-end of the 1961 Flat campaign, two articles about Breasley so incensed the jockey that he took their authors, Tom Nickalls of The Sporting Life and Don Cox of the Daily Herald, to court for libel.
To by no means universal anticipation when the cases came to court two years later, Breasley was returned the winner by the jury in his case against Cox, but not so in the action against Nickalls.
He ended up losing about pounds 5,000 after paying at least some of the costs for all the parties involved, but still considered he had taken the right course.
Richards never trained a Classic winner, although he and Breasley enjoyed plenty of success with champion miler Reform (1967 St James's Palace, Sussex, Queen Elizabeth II and Champion Stakes), Court Harwell, London Cry, Induna, Firestreak, Greengage and Dart Board. In fact Breasley rode only four Classic winners in Britain, the other two being Santa Claus and Charlottown, the Derby winners of 1964 and 1966.
Although Santa Claus produced a strong late run at Epsom to master Indiana inside the final furlong and win by a length, there were some unsavoury stories about the race doing the rounds at the time and Breasley never rode the horse again - a decision that always rankled.
He got the ride on Charlottown two years later, after his compatriot Ron Hutchinson had incurred the displeasure of the colt's owners, Sir Harold and Lady Zia Wernher, by the way he rode the colt in the Lingfield Derby Trial.
This Classic saw Breasley at his opportunist best, switching Charlottown from outside just in time to catch Pretendre near the line and win by a neck.
Another bad fall, at Newbury, kept him out for the rest of 1966, and within six weeks of resuming the following campaign he broke a collarbone in a fall at Ascot.
The following year he was injured yet again, this time at Bath, and it was no surprise when he announced in August 1968 that he would retire at the end of that season.
Having ridden the winners of 2,161 races in Britain, to follow his estimated 1,090 in Australia, Breasley began training in 1969 at the South Hatch yard in Epsom from which Walter Nightingall had sent out many good winners.
For some reason best known to himself - he was often of a secretive nature - Breasley almost, although not quite, denied he was interested in the stable until the deal was completed.
He trained the winners of 187 races in Britain between 1969 and 1980, as well as taking the 1972 Irish Derby with Steel Pulse, but, like so many champion jockeys before him, he was not so successful in his second career.
Steel Pulse was owned by shipping tycoon Ravi Tikkoo, and Breasley trained other big winners in his blue-and-yellow colours, including Hittite Glory (1975 Flying Childers and Middle Park Stakes).
In addition, Jerry Sung's Yellow River won the Queen's Vase in 1970' Royben, owned by longtime South Hatch patron Angus Kennedy, brought off the Portland Handicap-Ayr Gold Cup double in 1971' and Lady Beaverbrook's Biskrah took the 1972 Doncaster Cup.
But the rest of Breasley's training career was almost totally linked to Tikkoo's movements. In a protest against VAT, the Tikkoo horses and his trainer moved to Chantilly in 1976 and, in that season, Kesar Queen came over to win the Coronation Stakes at Ascot.
If that was one of the best moments for the new operation, matters soon took on a much less happy aspect when Tikkoo's Java Rajah failed a drugs test after winning a handicap at Longchamp in September.
Javah Rajah was disqualified, Breasley was fined Ff20,000, and Tikkoo expressed the view, felt privately by others, that the French simply wanted revenge after Trepan had been disqualified for failing drugs tests after finishing first in the Prince of Wales's Stakes and the Eclipse. His horses were soon on the move again.
This time it was across the Atlantic, and Breasley arrived with 40 Tikkoo horses in New York in the winter of 1976-77.
Among them was Hunza Dancer, third to Grundy in the 1975 Derby and a big success in the States, where his wins included the 1977 Bowling Green Handicap.
But that move did not last long either, and by the late summer of 1978 Breasley was back in Britain. He decided to retire from training at the end of 1980 and become Tikkoo's racing manager.
It was never quite clear what was involved in this exercise, especially with an owner as mercurial as Tikkoo, and in 1983 Breasley left Britain to train in Barbados, where he had owned a house for 20 years. He eventually retired in 1993 and returned to Australia.
Breasley occasionally returned to see old friends in Britain and was guest of honour at the 2003 Derby, when the jockeys were introduced to him beforehand.
Back in 1935, Breasley had married May Fisher, and although the marriage went through its ups and downs - there was at least one period of separation - they celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary in 1995.
Their only child, Loretta, married the late Brian Swift, first a jockey and then a trainer, in 1960. That union produced three children, but the marriage was dissolved in the late 1970s.
Scobie Breasley was undoubtedly one of the finest jockeys of his era and his success was largely responsible for an influx of Australian riders of hugely varying ability in the 1950s and 1960s. Arguably, Bill Williamson was his superior, with Ron Hutchinson at a similar level, but most were nowhere near as good.
A quiet, almost secretive and invariably undemonstrative man, Breasley's favoured tactic of coming with a late run, timed, if possible, to the inch, was developed to the highest level.
Inevitably, it did not always work, but on most occasions it did and few, if any, riders have ever done it better.
This obituary was compiled by the late George Ennor, former chief reporter of the Racing Post.

I've complained about the Desoto office since February, No call yet from corporate. Horrible customer service
Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company Corporate Office & Headquarters600 Corporate Park Dr. St. Louis MO 63105
Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company corporate phone number:(314) 512-5000
563 Reviews For Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company Headquarters & Corporate Office
The store in Deosto is horrible. The withdraw money without authorization and the customer service sucks. I will take my money elsewhere.
I rented a truck form the Enterprise in Desoto, Tx!! NEVER AGAIN! Not only did they make unauthorized charges on my card, the customer services stinks and the lack of knowledge is horrible.
Apathy incorporated
This company could not care less from the top down. Worst of the worst.
Big Compliment
I leased a car for five days from your Oak Lawn in Dallas location and am very happy. The service was excellent and the people who took care of me were very attentive and professional. Even professional in the way they dress.
Don't bother with this company. They don't keep their promises.
just deal with the local location
called about a e-mail I had received from enterprise so I called the corporate number to resolve the issue and was told to call the local branch. Next time I will call the local branch only.
Waste of time
Had to wait nearly an hour for my car. Car wasn't what I had requested.
If you can't Help people change your business to we will stick to you.
Rip offs
I rented a car from Enterprise and they withdrew more money than I had authorized,and I never got my deposit back. Horrible customer service and lack of experience.
never again
worst service I've ever had. poor training of agents. highest cost of any other rental company. just plain awful.
Great service
To whom it may concern, enterprise rental company this a letter for outstanding service I have received this past weekend when I had rented a car from your company. I appreciated the way they handle the payments plans and information they had given to me to help determine what kind of car and plan I would need. Your workers at the Page location are excellent, kind, patient, generous, understanding and fluent with great customer service. For that I deeply appreciate the service I received, and they made me feel welcomed and at home. Thank you and God bless!
Never have any dealing with Enterprise Car Rentals. My teenage son involved in an accident and he was not at fault. It has been 5 days and hours on the phone and still have not gotten a call from an adjuster. Also renters...you better check out the registration on the vehicle you rent. The tag on the vehicle was registered to a different vehicle.
What a scam!
Rented from Enterprise for a one-way rental last spring from Arlington, VA to Philadelphia. I reserved it but my son in law who was going to drive had to give his credit card info. It was a 2013 car with 33,000 miles on it but it was fine for our needs. When he turned it in in Philly, the manager went over it with a light and said we had caused numerous scratches and filed an accident report. Much more to this story, but in the end, American Express settled with Enterprise for an amount we do not know. We did absolutely nothing to this car. None of my family will ever rent from Enterprise again, and we had always used them often up to this point.
I would never rent from enterprise again. They take deposits right from your checking account before you bring the vehicle back instead of holding a authozation amount on your debit/credit card. employees at enterprise don't give you the correct information. Sometime they will give you a dirty car. I'm unhappy with how they handle information to customers.
Been renting for 42 yrs with few problems but this was a dousy! After finally getting picked up and arriving at the office told a extremely small car was my compact...I am afraid of tin can cars A compact is suppose to be bigger. After getting no consideration as a looong time customer or change of car they REFUSED to rent to me when I said Id be calling St Louis and theyd be looking for new jobs. I just got out of the hosp now this. The asst mgr waited on everyone else then told me he was REFUSING to rent to me when no one there since I was threatening. Yes this 60 y/o F was a threat He was male and buff who should of been worried not him.
Had confirmation and there were no cars
2nd time in 2 months. Made a reservation and received a confirmation with confirmation number. I am a psychologist and my g/f is a surgeon and we share 1 car. Since I had a confirmation I told g/f to take the car for her early surgery appt. The local office (Park City, Utah) called me at 9:00 am to tell me there were no cars. I now had to cancel several psych appts (costing me lots of lost $$$ and credibility, again). Last time they gave me a bunch of free rental days but it still doesn't make up for the aggravation.
Terrible all the way
Worst ever - young emplyee told me they did not have a van at their premises. I said I called a month ago and they said they had vans. Yes they did have a 15 passenger van, so I reserved it one month in advance. Two days before I needed the van, they said they had to find one but called me and asked me to take a 12 passenger. I said no, I should receive the 15 passenger van I asked for.. 5:30 PM the night before I was to pick it up they finally got one in Santa Rosa, Calif. When my son picked it up the next morning it was dirty inside and had only 1/4 tank of gas. So he had to go to service station and fill it with gas. Upon return the same day at 5:00 PM it had still 1/2 tank full of gas. I asked why we weren't credited the 1/4 tank of gas because after all we are paying $4.00 a gallon. That is not their policy she said. Well you can believe, I will never rent again from Enterprise. Their policy stinks.
I was given a rental car through the companies insurance where damage had been done to my car. Took three weeks to repaint my vehicle and I had the rental that was rented to me through the insurance of the company where my car was damaged. The companies insurance apparently never paid for the rental car, so enterprise car rental stole from me in the middle of the night over three months later. Enterprise car rental charged me over $700 for the car rental on my credit card that I had given them for incidentals. BEWARE doing business with this company, they are shady and will steal from you like a burglar in the night. Been several days and this matter is unresolved........
WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Rented a car at 2740 28 St, Grand Rapids MI It was the worse experience in my life, never will rent again from Enterprise. I needed to have a hand control adapted car since I am handicap, during two weeks I asked them to order the vehicle and they never did it, They only needed to make a call to have the car adapted and delivered to their office in 48 hours but refused to make the phone call. The manager was rude and unprofessional, the customer service is the worse I ever had in my entire life. If I could rate them below one star I would do it. Stay way from that company.
