How your paid really shouldn't be discussed. Agreed. But you cutting $2 off a pizza delivery guys tip is just pathetic. You sound like a chooch and that comes back around.

A lot of people don't think you can make decent coin selling cars and although it may not be glamorous in some social circles, when you can drive a new fancy car every 6 months and bring home a fat paycheck, people will change their opinions. Besides people that look at me funny because of what I do for a living, is not someone I want to be friends with anyways. |

I was at a holiday party, last month... My wife and I were standing in the kitchen (where else?), and I was introduced by the host to another guest.. I asked him what he did, and he said, "I'm a car dealer".. My wife said, "Oh, no... I guess I'll see you in a couple of hours.. ", and walked off, out of the room...

I've had it done to me, my co workers all have been hosed before. It's not like I am the only one saying this. It all goes back to the old tactics. I never treat them bad, but will be honest with them if I feel cornered. My last salesmen was great. I took a month to choose a car. He and the dealer were so nice, but the other dealer, wow! It was bad. I was treated so bad ok more than one of occasion. Again, I did not mean this to offend anyone. But literally everywhere you go, they have this rep, though sometimes it's the customer that walks in with this frame of mind and gets this all going.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 20, 2009 1:50 pm) Ok the way that is written it could go either way but I am going to assume that you meant your wife said to YOU that she would see you in a couple hours because she new you would want to talk cars to this guy. Not she said it to the car dealer because she did not want to associate with him.

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jan 20, 2009 5:54 pm) Then don't order the Pizza. Or go make your own. Being a cheapskate isn't cool. You aren't being frugal or smart with your money, you're being weak.
