B & W Tire & Towing Inc

Racist. Unapologetically racist.
Location: Waxahachie
A driver for B & W Tire & Towing inc. towed my car to a shop on Saturday.
I was traveling with my black student and her mother. I am also a person of color.
My car stopped on the highway in a town that I don’t know. Since I had a student with me, safety was my number one priority.
I asked the driver what the town was like, and if we’d be ok.
The driver then responded that this part of town is quite safe because there are «rich white people» living in nice houses, and that I was in good hands because the shop he was taking me to was run by white people.
When we asked him why color would matter, he responded that their color speaks to the quality of their work.
Hoping that this was an isolated incident, I called B & W and asked for the owner or manager. After a few days without an answer, I called back and was able to speak with Eric.
I told Eric what happened, and he actually asked me what racist event occurred.
Eric did not seem to understand why this incident was taken as racist.
I once again explained the events to him.
Eric was unapologetic. He then cut me off, and was quite rude by the end of the phone conversation.
I tried to give this company a second chance by calling and speaking with the owner.
So disappointing.
Seems that bigotry and racism may not be isolated to one person in this company.

Delayed arriving but I think that was AAA’s fault. «Rat» was super helpful and professional. We didn’t know much about flatbedding my Tesla but he was patient and called and spoke to the Tesla folks and made it happen without a hitch. Thanks!!!
