Replying to: joel0622 (May 10, 2008 5:34 am) OH NO.... RUN Jescue, RUN for them thar hills!! SONIC is awful to work for, they treat their employees like dog excrement and could not care less about them. they ONLY care abourt the bottom line and reporting earnings to stockholders - no matter what the cost. When they 'take over" they clean house and "broom out" & "cut bait" a lot of employees and they usually start at the top and work their way down. JESCUE, is your GM still there or did they "blow him out" yet. If you are a manger, I would highly recommend that you start circulating your resume ... QUICKLY. Even if you can justify your staying, it might not be a plesant experience. GOOD LUCK !!

Replying to: jmonroe (May 08, 2008 5:12 am) Here is an idea 05/09 14:13:57 I have two boys that enjoy crusing the internet looking at cars both new and used. The have no intention of buying anything, they just like to find out what they could get a car for. They are actually just playing at buying a car. I have had salespeople call the house and ask for them, so I know what they are doing. Believe me these boys don't have a penny to spare for a car and are both driving junk. I think it is just a game with them and of course they are not going to answer any calls or call you back. I wonder how many of your inquiries are of this type? |

Replying to: british_rover (May 09, 2008 1:19 pm) Yikes! That's not good.  Don't your kind of customers always have money? I can't see some wealthy dude turning to his wife and saying "You know dear we only made 3 million this year. Instead of that Range Rover let's buy a Prius." I would think it would be the same for most hi-line stores.
