Customers lose cars, still pay after Nashville Dodge closes

The closing of Nashville Dodge in Antioch, which was seized by the Tennessee Department of Revenue last month for not paying taxes, has created a nightmare for customers — many of whom bought vehicles from the dealer but haven't been able to get them licensed.
And inside the service department as many as 15 vehicles that customers had left for repairs several weeks ago remain locked up and unavailable to their owners as Chrysler Financial, the financing arm of the manufacturer, wades through paperwork to see if it has a lien on the property.

Pharmacists get paid more for consultations

A push by Medicare and other insurers to control patients' misuse of medications as a way to cut unnecessary drug costs has given many pharmacists a chance to make additional money by getting paid for in-depth consultations or other extra services.
Kroger, for instance, is training more pharmacists to handle up to one-hour consultations with patients that it began offering members of sponsoring health plans two years ago. As profit margins shrink, the new fees could help pharmacists develop another stable source of revenue.

In tough times, musicians cut concert prices

If you want to sit in the really good seats for a Keith Urban concert this summer, a pair of tickets will put you back about $170. But in a nod to the tough economic times, the country superstar has also priced some tickets as low as $20 per seat, so fans won't stay home because they can't afford to go.
"They may be to the side, but they still have a good view of the stage," Urban said recently of the discount tickets. "It's a way for us to allow those people that are a little hard up for cash to come and see the show."
