I highly doubt it too, so thanks for setting up a straw man just to knock it down.

It's hard to meet every reservation when you have no cars. Again, the problem lies with the company and not necessarily the employees. Sure some employees are scum, but most are not. That is what I've been saying everytime you mention scamming. You sometimes seem to get caught up in your blatant dislike for Enterprise that you forget to make a distinction between employee and organization. Employees do the same thing. They use words like "we" when describing situations. There is no "we" at enterprise. There are the employees in the branch and the company as a whole. There is and will probably always will be a huge disconnect.
Intentionally offering reservations that you have no ability nor intention to meet is scamming. If I were to buy into the "don't blame the employees, blame the company" argument, then who, exactly, is responsible? The employees blame the company, and the company blames the employees, and it's nobody's fault.

If someone lies to me, they're responsible. If their boss ordered them to, then they've got a problem with their boss.

Who, exactly, do you think I should hold responsible?
