Probably not worth my time at this point. It will cost me $100-$200 to get this wheel fixed. I will also need to take a day off work for this too.

If you have a lawyer friend (who won't charge you!), get them to write a threatening letter to the business. That will often cause them to send it to their lawyer who will in turn bill them hourly to review and assess it. Make their bottom line shrink as much as you can, I say.

I hate to encourage frivolous legal action. But I think as long as you don't bring the courts into the equation, you're not actively contributing the terribly litigious-happy society that is growing more and more.

My neighbor (does lighting for commercials and tv/movie sets) heard about a co-worker that got fired for saying "manhole cover" instead of "maintenance cover". So ridiculous ...

Probably more like "I want to take the cover off your manhole."

OP, in this day and age, the problem is that no one likes to own up to their actions or lack thereof. If there is an issue, they will always pass the buck and try to shift the responsibility either back to you or their higher ups, which the latter will typically result in nothing.

Agreed. When someone tries to pass the buck after scratching your wheel, you pick the wheel up and beat them with it. Then ask their manager if they'd like to pass the buck.
