Those do not go to to the flight attendants, or to pilots as tips, or to pay them for being there. they go straight to the government and to the airline company. And delivery fee is not a "tip" to the driver. It's a fee you pay for the convenience of not having to go out and get your own food and it covers their hourly wage of the delivery driver as that's what they're probably on. The tip you give them is to make sure your food came fast and warm. It's the same as telling a waitress in a restaurant: you spent a total of 30 minutes attending to us tonight (taking order, bringing food, cleaning up), and I owe you $10 tip, but since you already get paid an hourly wage of $8/hour, I will deduct half an hour wage from the tip ($4), and therefore you'll receive a $6 tip. Anyways, yes back to topic. Salesman shouldn't beg customers that they're not making enough, and customers should tip where a tip is deserved. If you get good service but are too cheap to tip, then make it yourself or pick it up yourself. |

Father-in-law was the business manager at a Chevy dealership (only a couple of hours from you)... Nice guy.. I think I went through my whole cooler of beer, before I was done with him...

You value every dollar/penny and don't want to leave anything on the table... except a good tip when deserved. You may make a pretty good salesman.

Replying to: jipster (Jan 21, 2009 7:08 pm) I think his views on tipping are quite indicative of his personality. Fact is, every year millions of new and used cars get sold by dealers. The vast majority without any hysteria or anger or hurt feelings. There is a small minority of bad salespeople out there, there always will be. You come to place like this,and you hear from a few people and you assume that every car dealer and salesperson is crooked and useless and you simply don't take into account all the transactions that go smoothly. that never get talked about. |

Replying to: grnerd (Jan 12, 2009 12:59 pm) Whoa friends can't I do that myself without paying 294.00 have not heard from them in over a month it always that it's up to me to do it. Iwrote a complaint letter asking for my money back to the CEO of TK Worldwide. I would stayu away from these guys you don't charge for something you can' deliver. I went through AIG auto sale training in Arizona and they interviewed and got us placements at dealerships BEFORE the training. We all had jobs. The training was way more comprehensive that TK, lasted a full week and was FREE!! |

Replying to: joel0622 (Jan 17, 2009 3:05 pm) I went to this training and paid the 294.00. They gave us all an interview at Toyota. The class started with about 43 people and the last day it was down to 22. From what I heard they hired 4 or 5. The rest of were supposed to work with TK and get interviews at other dealerships. I got one at Berger Chevorlet and was told I would be called back. After a week of twice a day phone calls I gave up since they were never returned. At TK the last email I got was they left messages at some dealers(that I contacted myself) and only got voicemail so it would be in my best interests to persue these dealers on my own.
