Default TFS Protestors

So I walk out side my dealership and see people walking down the road with signs. I'm like wonder what they are advertising? Then I see them stop at the end of my lot, turn around and start heading back up. So I am like WTF..... Turns out they are protesting something to do with Toyota Finanical Services and Sexual Harrassment. And they are protesting in front of our dealership because we are the closest to the TFS building. They then threatened that they had busload of people and would shut down one dealership at a time.

What gives....

None of these results seemed to have anything to do with TFS specifically, just TMC.

those are the same protesters that will be in front of some abortion clinic next week and then a cigarette company after that, and they will say "yea were gonna get a busload of people to shut this place down" has it worked?, No. I really wouldnt worry, it might kill sales for a day but theyll be gone tomorrow, and if you really want to............egg em on, get em loud and ____ed, and then call the cops for disturbing the peace.........

Don't let them use your bathrooms. That really puts a cramp in their solidarity.

They were protesting because a Japanese woman brought a lawsuit against Toyota America for sexual harassment. I can see if it's a history........ but, seriously.....

Well that and cause one woman was disgruntled TFS ex employee who says she was retaiated against for takin it to HR. Guess she doesn't realize that is illegal and she could have sued if true.

They're back. Only 4 this time. With signs like: Stop buying Toyota/Lexus or Shame on you Toyota, or COULD BE YOUR MOTHER, SISTER, DAUGHTER, OR WIFE.

They don't last long
