Replying to: graphicguy (Jun 21, 2009 5:24 am) My guess is that dealers are charged for sending their workers to training sessions in sales or service? Some of the dealership people on here will let us know if they do pay?

Replying to: graphicguy (Jun 21, 2009 5:24 am) They would have been more on target if they had taken their annual losses and divided by their total number of executives and then started cutting those guys.

BTW, a belated happy Mothers Day to all you mothers out there too. I hope you guys will have a better Fathers Day than me. Guess who decided to invite about 25 people over for Fathers Day? Never mind you know who. So, guess who got to clean off the deck furniture? Never mind, you know that too. I was just about finished with my first assignment and I hear a voice, “don’t forget the coolers and you have to clean those with Comet and a scrubber sponge”. COMET? I thought they quit making that stuff when whitewalls went away.  I’ll bet I’m the one who will have to flip the burgers/wieners too. Just because she made her almost famous potato salad and not so famous baked beans she feels she did her part. Maybe if things go right I’ll have some time today to do something I like to do. Like waxing the…Oops, I just heard that voice again so that may be out. I think I missed a spot. Yep, I hope yours is better than mine.  jmonroe

Replying to: joel0622 (Jun 21, 2009 10:19 am) Thursday when the Mrs. and I wanted to test drive the PT I called to make an appointment for about 11:00. I got the sales manager who told me that the salesman who we had been working with was not due in until 12:00. He then added that we should come in at the time we wanted and he would take care of us himself. When we arrived at 11:00 I was surprised to see our salesman already there. It seems the sales manager was too lazy to work a deal himself and made the poor guy come in early. That's how they do it in New York.
