Maybe not all salesmen ;) I must admit, in a time of financial desperation, I got a job at a the big Nissan dealership in Nashville, TN. During lunch I was chatting with the head sales guy and he started bragging to me about the time he got an old lady brought her new car in on a Saturday because the drivers seat would not move forward past a certain point. She parked outside the service doors for 30 minutes until he came out and told her the service dept was closed on Saturdays. She asked him if he could look at it for what was wrong so he did. A few minutes later, he popped back out of the car and explained that the seat would need replaced and that it wasnt under warranty. He told her how the seat would be so expensive for her to replace that she would be better off buying an even newer car. Playing on her fear and ignorance, he had her signed into a brand new car by the days end and made $3000 off off the deal.
Monday morning he was in the garage when the mechanics brought it the first car in for repair, the salesman told the guy to wait, opened the door, reached under the seat and pulled a penny out that had been stuck in the drivers side seat track. He pocketed the penny, told the mechanics the car was ready for resale and somehow slept that night.
After hearing this I walked out and never came back. I work somewhere where I am ordered and encouraged to blatantly take advantage of someone like that. But surely not all places are like that :)
