that explains why one of the guy stole all my quarters while wiping inside the car, few years back. i stopped going there since then. i definitely pity the workers who are being exploited under any circumstances. people who wash their cars should tip these workers very generously so that they don't steal from others cars. i hope the mgmt is not taking their tips. you never know these days. this is a cruel world.

I always tip and they still stole a personal item out of my car that wasn't even worth much at all. I stopped going for a while but went back because of the convenient location. I guess it's back to the brushless carwash in Santa Clara on El Camino for me.

I have been going there for years and never lost anything.

I have never had anything stolen in the many years I have been going there. I think it's disgusting how the company has treated these workers. The job those workers do is monotnous and physically taxing and for only minimum wage plus tips which I'm sure is not very much more. I'm happy to hear the goverment has been alerted to the company's illegal activities and that the workers will get what they deserve.

It's always great to hear comments of sympathy from the lazy BMW, MB, and Lexus drivers who feel it is too below them to wash their own cars and would much rather have some exploited illegal alien do it for them. Nothing in this article should surprise anyone, since employers who hire illegals do so to cheat both the workers and the government.

No one said they were illegal. Besides, it is unlikely that illegals would contact the government to complain.

Alot of people have documentation that is counterfeit, but the employers accept it because their defense would be "it looked legal". They know damn well what they are doing. For now, the Feds have no way to track this 'good faith' paperwork thing.
Also, I am certain some of the workers are actually legal.
Given how bold and 'entitled' some of these 'guests' are, I would not put it past one to contact the Feds. After all, they use the Emergency Rooms, Police services, and every other resource possible, because they can, and we are too PC to say or do anything about it.
That's just how it is...

Judging by the number of Chevys, Fords and Chryslers you see passing through the car wash, I guess there must be quite a number of lazy owners of Detroit iron as well.

I went to Harv's car wash, but they stole my caps lock key.

harv's is great but Lozano'a offers a far superior service. I am still amazed at how so few people tip. I always tip if i use a coupon and i always get great service.

USA-- hilarious!!
The problem with tipping at car washes is, you dont really know if they did a good job until later. I tend to tip based on the previous trip.

Notice how their prices went up. I brought a coupon the other day and the lady told me in a rude manner that it was expired. I've never been told that there before. She said flatly, "Your price is $14". I guess we the customers will be paying for Lazano's shady business practices. Sweet deal!

E-Verify can tell any employer who cares whether or not a potential employee is a citizen. Lozano's should be shut down. A simple boycott could do it.

Has anyone ever put 2 and 2 together, ever since Mountain View declared it's a sanctuary city crime has gone up, schools have become overcrowded and are overwhelmed also people in M.V. are generally not as friendly. Johnny Robots has a good point require ALL employers to use E-verify.

When did Mtn. View declare themselves a sanctuary city? Was there a public announcement of this?
And could you give some examples of crimes in Mtn. View that were committed by illegals? Just trying to keep you honest.

They should be fined an additional $268,000. Where's the incentive to obey minimum wage laws if all that happens is they have to give them back pay?
As for sanctuary cities, the federal gov't should withhold funding to localities that don't check the immigration status of arrestees.

That is pathetic, have you ever seen the Lozano's home up in the hills? They should be ashamed of themselves. I will avoid Lozano's from now on. Will give my business to a Mountain View carwash in future.

Lozano's IS a Mountain View car wash. It is a common misconception that it is in PA.
By the way, most rich people have made their money off of other people's backs. It's nothing new, and it's the American way...

The Feds only get them back pay up to Fed. minimum wage $6.55. The state min. wage is $8.00, so they are entitled to that too. Plus if their going wage is higher, I think their is an implied contract to pay them that too.
Any lawyers out there willing to file a class action suit on their behalf (pro bono?) to recover everything they are owed plus punitive damages?
Hopefully they can recover enough back pay to tide themselves over to find other jobs and not fear retaliation.

Hey Bruno and Daniel DeBolt,
The Voice reported, M.V. Chief of Police Scott Vermeer, who is a son of an undocumented Mexican immigrant, said his police department has "no role enforcing federal immigration laws", that is a de facto claim of being a sanctuary city. As for M.V. School superintendents Maurice Ghysels and Barry Groves, they may not be M.V. city employees but their salaries are paid by my tax dollars which makes them representatives of my government and of M.V. Ghysels and Groves publicly announced supporting illegals. Their actions and advice perpetuates a de facto claim that M.V. is a sanctuary city.
Bruno you asked for examples of illegals breaking laws, the following are some examples and/or clarifications: 1) first and foremost they're in this country ILLEGALY; 2) the uptick of violence committed by Surenos gang members who are new Latino immigrants and most likely entered illegally into the U.S; 3) if the top cop in M.V. isn't requiring his P.D. to document crimes committed by illegals, how do you get examples?.
Furthermore if people who support illegal/undocumented immigrants from all over the world (Asia, Africa, Mexico, Latin & South America, Europe, India, Canada, etc.) continue to turn a blind eye to the realities of illegal immigration within this community and this nation, don't be surprised if they/you become a victim of crime/s committed by an illegal.
Bruno thanks for trying to keep me honest. Are you honest enough to man up and acknowledge the truth?

BTW Lozanos is just the tip of the iceberg for mistreatment of employees in M.V. If you haven't read yet, check out the following link Web Link regarding M.V.'s Day Worker Center.

Well I've been a very satified customer for years, Lozanos employees do there job the way it should be. I've never had any problems. I support all the employees, and if it wasn't for the illegals at lozanos who do you think a legal resident or citizen would do the job? the legal ones don't last more than 2 days before they quit. We should all be supporting the employee in trying to get better wages. Because tips don't matter, not everybody gets a tip only the person who dry's your car.

The Department of Labor doesn't have authority to enforce state minimum wage. As a side note, they did tell me that Lozano's was very cooperative. See more information here Web Link.

I love the previous comment that Lozano's was very cooperative, of course they were, what choice did they have?

What's with all the Mercedes haters? I happen to have one, which would not have been my first choice, after a triple roll-over totalling of my car on 101. I needed safety, strength, etc., and I loved the car I had (subaru outback - 3rd one) but felt like I needed a big steel cage around me. Not everyone who owns a Mercedes is an ass - in fact, I act deferential to other drivers so as not to be perceived as a jerk. With that said, if I go to the car wash, any car wash, and pay $15 to $20, is it too much to expect the car to be washed and vacuumed? I don't think so, because I'm paying for a service. Again, why all the haters? Should I give one of the washers the car as a tip? Hell, I earn the money to have it, and the safety, why should I feel guilty?

Deeyah has a powerful, moving article about honour culture and making a documentary film about the murder of Banaz Mahmod.
I grew up in a community where Honour is a social currency that defines our lives from the moment we are born.
Having honour is often the most sought after, protected and prized asset that speaks to the status and reputation of a family within their community. The burden of honour is most often placed on the behaviour of women. This collective sense of honour and shame has for centuries confined the movement, freedom of choice and restricted the uninhibited expression of ourselves.
You can not be who you are, you can not express your needs, hopes and opinions as an individual if they are in conflict with the greater good and reputation of the family, the community, the collective. If you grow up in a community defined by these patriarchal concepts of honour and social structures these are the parameters you are expected to live by. This is true for my own life and experiences as well.
Any strong expression of yourself, of autonomy, is not acceptable and can be punished by a variety of consequences from abuse, threats, intimidation, excommunication by the group, violence and the most extreme manifestation: taking someone's life; murdering someone in the name of honour because their expression of the individual self was not in accordance with the group expectations.
There are people, even people who consider themselves progressive, who think that's a good thing. I think they don't properly consider what it means.
One particular thing Deeyah says is so sad.
What has upset me greatly from the very beginning of this project is how absent Banaz was from her own story. What I mean by that is whenever you see a film or a piece on tv about someone who has passed you will always have family members, friends, people who knew the person sharing their love, their memories and thoughts about the person who has died, they often show family home videos, photos and other momentoes. In this film that was just not the case at all.
Absent from her own story. It's terrible.

Got me some 12s
didnt feel like taking a pic. enjoy this.
I'm back , sneakerheads. There are some sick kicks coming out this fall and winter, and i have a big update for you guys!
Retro 10s drop in 2010. These are def. hot.
january 2010 is when these super sexy infrared 6s release.
September 5th is when the Hall of Fame Collection drop....
Also, a new collection of Hybrid jordans just came out, called the 60+
This is the Laney High edition, dropping this september.
For those of you wanting to look stylish in the sleet and snow, i have seen just the thing for you.
The Spizike boot! The brown pair drops this coming October, while the black drops in November
For those of you who are fans of the Carmelo Anthonys, the m6s drop in October. These shoes are good for bball at the right price
For those of you who need some kicks to ball in, the best bball shoe is the Nike Hyperize
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
You may have seen them in the Hyperizin commercial featuring Mo Williams, Andre Iglodala, and Rashard Lewis. They are great basketball shoes, just as great as the hyperdunks.
Here is some advice: DO NOT wear Jordan Six Rings or any AJF Fusions to play ball in. The fusions are heavy, and the AF1 bottom dont exactly make your game any better.
The Six Rings are a very nice looking shoe, I recently went to Canada and copped some UTAH JAZZ six rings. I don't care about the jazz, but these are one SEXY shoe, Purple and blue, if thats your thing.
But listen guys, these kicks may be uncomfortable for your foot, so you might want to get half a size higher. Still, they aren't a great shoe to ball in. I would wear them purely for style if i were you.
Also, something i found good to note. if you do not want to spend 100 dollars on a shoe, you can now customize your own nike vandals at nikeid.nike.com they are $90, very stylish, not bad to ball in, and customizeable.
This is basically a pair, but you can make it any color you want. This is a great buy, so i highly recommend anyone and everyone check em out.

A 35-year-old San Rafael man was arrested on allegations of molesting two girls under the age of 11, offering them marijuana he grew and taking lewd pictures of them, police said Tuesday.
Jason Edward Clar was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of continuous sexual abuse of children, lewd acts with children, possession of obscene material involving children and marijuana violations. His bail was set at $150,000.
Clar was arrested at his home Monday night after a 10-day investigation by the San Rafael Police Department.
The investigation began after the girls disclosed the alleged conduct to a parent and the parent called police, said San Rafael police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher.
Clar has not seen the girls for about two years, and police do not suspect other adults or children are involved in the case, Rohrbacher said.
The investigation is continuing.
The charge of continuous sexual abuse, which alleges that the conduct took place for at least three months, carries a potential prison sentence of up to 16 years.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Ohio coal miners shown in a TV ad for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney say the images were shot at a campaign event their company required them to attend.
The "War on Coal" ad suggests President Barack Obama's emphasis on clean energy is costing U.S. jobs, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday. The president is leading in Ohio, a critical swing state.
The ad, filmed Aug. 14, shows miners in hard-hats with coal dust on their faces, standing behind Romney at a mine in Beallsville, owned by Murray Energy. Its president, Robert Murray, is a Romney backer and Republican Party donor both as an individual and through his company.
Miners told David Blomquist, a talk radio host for WWVA in the area, the mine was shut down during the campaign event and their pay was docked but they were also required to attend the event.
A Murray executive, Robert Moore, told Blomquist, "Attendance was mandatory but no one was forced to attend the event."
Murray told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer "our people enjoyed it" and none of the 3,000 people at the Romney rally were forced to attend the campaign event.
Company officials said the mine was closed that day for safety and security reason, the Times reported.
"The Romney Campaign now knows full well that those miners, wage earners as they are, missed a day's pay when they were required to attend the event," said Ohio AFL-CIO spokesman Michael Gillis. "Instead of those workers providing for their families and putting food on the table that day, they were used as political props by a candidate that understands nothing about the plight of the average American."
Murray Energy is a major employee in Ohio.
The United Mine Workers of America, which represents coal miners, has endorsed neither Romney nor Obama. The union endorsed Obama in 2008.
