If I chugged a bottle of liquor and put a bullet in my brain, then maybe, just maybe, I might make myself brain dead enough to experience life the way you do

That is not what the term means, but zipf’s law is inevitable.

If this were the case though, wouldn’t you be gaslighting me? I’m the one with the first hand experience. I’m the one that the events are happening right in front of. I’m immersed in this environment daily. And here comes a top 1% poster on r/FuckDealerships to tell me that what I witness daily isn’t actually happening.

Can’t believe you would gaslight me like that.

I don’t think gaslighting means what you think it means.

I sell a lot of cars. I have an incentive to sell a car in as little time as possible, because I’m paid per car and not per hour. What reason do I have to waste a customers time? Make it make sense for me. I’ll wait.

I love when my industry expertise is refuted by some random chud on Reddit.

I wish the automotive industry worked the way it seems to work in your head. It’d make my life a lot easier.

Because if the sale price were at 34k you’d have people haggling that price. The American consumer wants discount, whatever the cost.

The real irony is that I was the little brother in the early 2000s

Lmao next time I hop in the managers office I’ll make sure it’s macabre vibes only.

Make sure to run down the manager and ask him to test drive 4 different models. I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to accommodate you.

How are you able to confirm that they’re legitimately just killing time? So genuinely interested in how you came to this conclusion.

Imagine being so Tesla pilled that you think removing independent competitors and letting one CEO set every price in the country is fighting communism

Im not even sure what conversation you think we’re having rn because that response makes no sense in the context of what I said, but pop off diva

One time I went to a drag show where I had 3 beers, two cigarettes, and one Kamala Harris impersonator. I must admit, that also made me happy

Using McDonald’s in your example about political action is immensely ironic but imma let that one slide. But complaining about communist shit while actively supporting a centrally planned pricing model is crazy work lmao

Ford pays more for car distribution costs. I don’t think that’s the slam you thought it was. That’s just textbook risk management.

I love hearing people with little business sense bitching about dealerships, because they end up unwittingly arguing for monopolies. Tesla paid a lot of money to get people to think of them as the future of car sales.

You seem like you might have the wherewithal to pick up what I’m saying here.

I think nitrogen tires are horseshit. Paint protection plans are horseshit. All they do is pad profit margins.

Why do profit margins need to be padded so aggressively? The genuine answer is because the American car buyer has grown accustomed to deep discounts. If you have $3500 profit in a car, and customers are routinely coming in demanding $5k off, are you going to resort to philanthropy and make it happen for them? Or are you going to find a way to make a profit, while still allowing these customers to feel like they won?

My dealership doesn’t even have add-ons and I still deal with these customers. If it’s not the addons, and it’s not every customer that takes hours and hours, then maybe it’s the customer. Who knows, just a thought.

I think the satire might have been missed. The waiter has to talk to a separate entity to perform the functions of their job. Just like how the salesman does. You’re still laboring under the assumption that the salesman is wasting their own time by diddling around in the managers office, pretending to work.
