That is a mistake. I joined in February 1998 and my profile was showing that date as of last week.
 
Heck, I was almost "fully vested"! I want my seniority back!

It won't do any good for retirement. Companies will do away with all retirement plans-you're on your own.

Anyone on here ever go into a dealership and refuse to give the salesperson your name? even the first name?
 
When I was a salesperson I always got a kick out of these folks. I immediately would refer to them as Mr. or Mrs X. After two or three times I always got the name and a few chuckles.

I read a story right here in Edmunds about a buyer who refused to give his name. Turned out that his name was "Muhammed" and it was right after 911.

Hmmm - no, I never have, but maybe not a bad idea. At least you called them Mr. or Mrs. and not "hey, Joe!"

What if your customer by bobst

was the musician formerly known as Prince?
 
I think the written version of his new name is some kind of odd symbol and the pronunciation sounds like two metal pots being banged together.

I think he's gone back to plain ol' Prince now.

I haven't had that happen but have had something else interesting.
 
Everyone has seen someone who is just browsing bolt at the first sign of a salesman. They are too afraid to talk to them or something.
 
On more then one occasion I have had people who pulled up in serious cars, 750IL-760IL', XJ8's and A8's bolt at the first sight of me.
 
I would expect that most of the people that have the money to buy one of those vehicles should be a bit more agressive and not so timid around one little salesman. You pretty much have to be in order to make that kind of money unless you were born into it.
 
I actually saw one guy who pulled up in a 750IL left it idiling with the door cracked open. I was in my office and didn't see him at first but once I did I stepped out side to say hi. My office is about 40 or so feet away from where he parked and he was looking at cars a few more feet beyond that. I had covered about half the distance when he saw me and I waved. He looked at me then looked at his car door and actually sprinted for the car before I was even in talking distance.
 
Funniest thing I have ever seen just about then threw it into reverse and left. It was not anyone I have ever talked to before, so I could not possibly have pissed him off in the past and not realized it and I was not close enough to offend them with any possible foul breath either.

Well recently went to a dealer and told the salesman "No thank you I am just looking, I don't want to waste your time". The guy pressed it then coped an attitude when I wouldn't give him any more information other that I was just looking.
