In the two-wheeler (2W) segment, while the initial part of the month might be relatively quiet due to the observance of the Shraddh period, upcoming festivals like Durga Puja and Navratri are poised to inject a renewed energy into the sales environment, as per Vehicle Retail Data for Sep 2023 released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). The uptick in demand is supported by improved customer sentiment and competitive pricing strategies, both of which are expected to play a crucial role in driving sales. Additionally, the introduction of new models into the market is set to further enhance the overall optimism. In the passenger vehicle (PV) sector, the market is also poised to witness a sales boost during the festive season. This is fueled by the launch of new products, improved availability of popular models, and the continued success of recently introduced vehicles. Similarly, in the <keyword id="47608" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="commercial-vehicle" source="Orion">commercial vehicle</keyword> (CV) sector, the conclusion of the monsoon season brings with it the prospect of a resurgence in infrastructure projects and the transportation of essential goods. This anticipated increase in demand is expected to strengthen the market. The availability of a wider range of vehicles and attractive financing options is likely to facilitate bulk purchases, adding to the positive outlook in this segment. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Growth recorded across segments" comment="Subhead" text="Growth recorded across segments">Growth recorded across segments</cmsannotation> Analysing the data when compared to the same period a year before, one sees broad-based growth across segments – In September, 2W sales increased by 22%, 3W surged by 49%, PV grew by 19%, and CV by 5%. Tractors sales, however, declined by -10%. Compared to pre-COVID benchmarks, the sector achieved a robust 14% increase, with the 2W category recording positive growth (2%) for the first time. Says Manish Raj Singhania, president, FADA, "September's Auto Retail celebrated a 20% year-on- year (Y-o-Y) leap, continuing the momentum from the previous month while marking a 3.5% month-on-month (M-o-M) increase, seamlessly transitioning into the festive period’s sweet spot set to unfold over the next 42 days.” <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Two wheeler sales hit record high" comment="Subhead" text="Two wheeler sales hit record high">Two wheeler sales hit record high</cmsannotation> Three-wheeler sales hit a new high in September, reaching 102,426 units, showing a 49% Y-o-Y and 3% M-o-M increase, surpassing the previous record set in August 2023 at 99,907 units. The two-wheeler (2W) sector saw a boost in demand as the festive season approached, thanks to new models and attractive promotions, especially in rural areas. This led to increased customer traffic and positive market sentiment, supported by better stock availability and the successful launch of entry-level products. The passenger vehicle (PV) category enjoyed a resurgence with improved vehicle availability and the introduction of new models. There was consistent demand for luxury cars and SUVs, supported by pending bookings and promising product launches, setting the stage for potential growth in the upcoming festive season. In September 2023, the commercial vehicle (CV) segment remained strong, driven by demand in coal, cement, and general market load sectors. The passenger carrier segment also experienced growth, attributed to government infrastructure investments and improved market sentiment post-COVID-19.

A Louisiana man was arrested on Tuesday evening for assaulting a police officer with a motor vehicle after being asked to leave Walmart, according to an <a href="http://www.opso.net:8080/OPSO/Inmate/Photo/1A21ILT2?type=Full">arrest report</a>."You can't make me wear a f---ing mask," Taylor said to the officer, Fox 59 <a href="https://fox59.com/news/louisiana-man-refuses-to-wear-mask-at-walmart-hits-officer-with-vehicle-report-says/">reported</a>. As the officer was taking Taylor's license plate number, Taylor backed his car into the officer twice. Taylor later told police that he was unable to wear a mask because of a medical condition and that he didn't see the officer behind him.And on July 11, a shopper at a Walmart in South Florida pulled a gun on another shopper after a dispute over masks, the Sun-Sentinal <a href="https://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/palm-beach/fl-ne-palm-walmart-gunman-20200714-a7vsqlyzhrevjdrv5xlom4g6ma-story.html">reported</a>.

Costco, which was the first major retailer to require shoppers to wear masks, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/costco-continues-to-deal-with-anti-mask-customers-2020-7">continues to wrangle</a> unruly or violent customers that refuse to follow its policy. As retailers attempt to enforce new mask-wearing policies, they will likely face backlash and sometimes violence from customers who refuse to wear masks. The onus of the responsibility and the risk will <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/most-americans-want-masks-to-be-mandatory-in-stores-2020-7">fall onto employees</a>, who often are under-trained for hostile and violent situations.While mask policies don't necessarily protect employees from violence, they do protect corporations from being sued by customers. Having a clearly stated policy on masks puts retailers <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stores-can-kick-out-customers-who-refuse-to-wear-masks-2020-5">on stronger footing</a> when calling law enforcement in response to an incident or in the case of a lawsuit by a customer who refuses to wear a mask.Are you a retail worker who has seen or experienced harassment or violence from a customer because of a mask-related conflict?

Walmart will require all customers to wear masks after incidents in which one anti-mask shopper drove into police and another pulled a gun on other customers

<div class="image-container float_right" style="width:480px"><div class="image">Broward Sheriffs Office</div></div>A south Florida couple has been arrested <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/08/21/3578064/broward-couple-assaults-dunkin.html">after assaulting</a> a <keyword id="6691703" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Dunkin-Donuts">Dunkin' Donuts</keyword> employee that got their order wrong, The Miami-Herald reports.
Police arrested 27-year-old Jeffrey Wright for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and 22-year-old Alexis Longo for simple battery.
After going through the drive-thru, Longo discovered vanilla in her <keyword id="6354798" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="coffee">coffee</keyword> instead of the caramel she ordered. Wright then parked the car and went inside to ask for a manager. Before one arrived, a confrontation erupted between the couple and the employee that took the order.
The entire ordeal was captured on a security camera.
The Sun-Sentinal <a href="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/broward/lauderhill/fl-dunkin-donuts-assault-lauderhill-20130821,0,7943432.story">has more:</a>
Wright got involved and witnesses attempted to break up the fight, the report said. Then Wright — who works as a security guard and carries a concealed weapons permit, according to an assistant public defender — reached for his gun.
"During the course of the altercation, it says you retrieved your firearm, a 9mm Taurus handgun with seven rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber," Judge John "Jay" Hurley said during Wright's first-appearance court hearing Wednesday. "This all happened in front of the customers at Dunkin' Donuts."
According to Lt. Michael Butkus, several witnesses said that Longo told Wright he should shoot the manager. Several customers attempted to break up the fight before police could arrive.
Bond for Wright was set at $20,000, while Longo’s was set at $1,000.
