(JEWISH GROUP) NY attorney general orders car wash to stop ripping off Jews with antisemitic 'Passover special'

[Behind the Aegis]

Last year, New York’s attorney general started investigating a car wash that, her office suspected, was scamming Jewish customers.

Now, Letitia James is ordering that business to end its “Passover special” — a car-cleaning offer that massively overcharged Orthodox Jews. Otherwise, it will have to pay $75,000.

Jewish law strictly forbids owning any chametz, or leavened food, during Passover. For the past several years, Super 4 Seasons car wash in the heavily Orthodox area of Spring Valley, New York, promised to thoroughly clean customers’ cars ahead of the holiday.

But in a report published last month, James’ office said Super 4 Seasons identified visibly Orthodox Jews, performed a standard car wash for them — then charged them more than three times the normal amount. Jewish customers were billed $169.99 for the ‘Passover special’ service that was priced at $47 for non-Jewish customers, the report said.

Anti-Semites are ever "evolving" in their hate.

1. Sounds more like grifting than antisemitism to me. Cheating the unsuspecting

suckers like donnie selling bibles to MAGA followers who profess Christianity. He didn't do it out of hate. He did it because he could. And in past centuries, selling "relics" supposedly of saints' bones or Jesus' cross had more to do with making a Roman denarius than hating Christians.

3. That's an incorrect snap judgment. Read what's posted at the link:

In an undercover operation, an investigator with the attorney general’s office visited the establishment dressed in Orthodox Jewish clothing and asked for a standard car wash, but was told the only services available were shampoo and Passover cleaning. He was charged the inflated price.

When another investigator in non-Jewish clothing inquired about a standard wash, it was given to him. An employee told him the Passover promotion was “for Jews” and that it cost more “because their cars are so dirty.”

5. Given your two past comments and this one...

...this group, THE JEWISH GROUP, doesn't seem to be a good fit for you and definitely not for us. This group allows for discussions but to dismiss, so casually, I might add, anti-Semitism will not be tolerated. Therefore, I, with the support of the other hosts, are blocking you from this group.

2. Sounds more like taking advantage

of simple mind suckers than antisemitism.

4. That's incorrect. Why not check out the facts at the link rather than dismissing the legitimacy of the charges ...

6. This casual dismissal of anti-Semitism is offensive.

This is the JEWISH GROUP and dismissing, diminishing, or disregarding anti-Semitism is not welcome here. So, after consulting the other hosts, consider this your first, last, and only warning.
