Message:: [QUOTE="clembo, post: 957111, member: 8033"]It's an unfortunate thing for sure Dimefreak. Stereotyping happens and will continue to happen. I can be guilty of it myself as well as I have to be in essence. I actually worry more about the guy that comes in with his hands in his pockets. We have codes to announce such situations to everyone that works at the shop. As for shows. Well, expect it and like I said it's their loss. My wife had an uncle that was well off. EVERY year he bought a new Cadillac at the local car dealer. He paid cash. He liked to tinker around the house and do odd jobs. One year he went in after painting a room and asked to look at a few cars. A new "kid" wouldn't give him the time of day. He went home and cleaned up as it were then went back. The "kid" was all over him not realizing he was the "bum" that was in earlier. Her uncle asked for a salesman that knew him instead. He bought a car from that guy and advised them that the "kid" shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Especially and old one I guess. So the "kid" lost a nice commission and her uncle made sure he knew it. Bet he changed his tune at that point.[/QUOTE]
