Yeah, all of my friends work at the local Toyota/Mitsubishi/Mazda/GM (its a big dealership) dealership. Based on the stories they tell me I am going to buy a car used from a private seller or a new car from somewhere else. They tell me about how they raced all the new new cars that come in and when they service a used car they drive the **** out of them (doing burnouts, racing them, etc).

Moving back outside I saw two people roaming the lot dressed in animal suits. One was a brown fuzzy bear and the other was a floppy-eared rabbit. Later I talked to the women inside the suits and they complained about how hot the costumes were and how little kids kept poking them to see if they were real.




What the ****?? Good read so far, everything is true. Good thing I don't sell cars anymore. I made no money for 2 months. Got into debt, blah blah.

******* hell, I had like 3 paragraphs typed, and somehow it got deleted, I am not typing it again.





Pretty much John, it was a life experience, it fucked up my social life, and I broke up with my girlfriend because of that job. I made no money the last two months, and got tired of the petty bullshit that went along with the job. But the breaking of with the girlfriend was not that bad, she seems happier now with some crackhead who is 23, has a kid, and has gone through one divorce. Lucky her, eh?



They seriously treat you like ****, and then turn around and be buddy buddy with you. I told one of the managers to go **** himself sideways.

I once applied for a job as a car salesman, and in spite of my college degree, steady work history, and witty intelligent personality, I didn't get the job. Lucky me!

Well I guess if you can't convince them to hire you then it is a good thing because you probably would have starved. JFWY
