A Chicago dealership faces a lawsuit after some alleged locker room behavior by its employees.
Earlier this month, a man filed a lawsuit against Grossinger City Autoplex in Chicago, claiming he received some rather brutal harassment from five of the dealership's employees.
The suit alleges the man was threatened, harassed and even given a "hanging wedgie" on one occasion by the Grossinger employees over the course of a month-long period in 2009.
It's unknown if the accuser was an employee of the dealership or a customer.
He claims to have received death threats, along with being strangled with a phone cord and being called a homosexual.
The alleged abuse went on while the Grossinger employees were working at the store.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the Cook County Circuit Court, is seeking $600,000 in damages.
Representatives of Grossinger City Autoplex have not responded for comment on the suit.
The Grossinger Auto Group operates nine new-car stores throughout the Chicago area.
Despite not being accredited, by the BBB, the Chicago Grossinger store where the alleged harassment took place has a decent track record with the Northern Illinois Better Business Bureau.
