hibachi grill aside, someone makes those comments to me and my girlfriend? They’re not getting any additional money from me. If they had a server, they can take it up with the chef/manager when tipping out.

While I’ll grant that the internet is full-to-the-brim of trolls and haters, shouldn’t the overwhelming response to your story make you question that your version of reality is not the same as that shared by everyone else? Would you continue to insist that the sky is green if everyone else agreed that it was blue?

By the way, your dad acted like an asshole in this story.

You know, I ordinarily couldn’t give less of a shit about Taylor Swift, but I’m definitely frowning over here about how much everyone is piling on about her not being a perfect feminist. All I can think is I’m glad I wasn’t famous as I took my journey in my 20s to who I am now—I sure as hell wasn’t a perfect feminist,…

“salesman walked away with his tail between his legs". Do you think the salesman had any say in the price. Imagine bring in his place. Getting into work one morning and being told "the mustangs are now marked up by $****, go sell 'em", what do you think would have happened if he refused or objected?. There was no…

I am sorry you had to watch your dad embarrass himself by trying mask his feelings of inadequacy through abusing strangers.

He obviously found great joy in it and came hear to relate the story of papa’s triumph and be hoisted upon the shoulders of the masses. Even after the initial backfire, he doubled down in case we missed the first time how awesome that day was, and how blue collar daddy stuck it to the man. I hope my son idolizes me so…

I don’t hate because I don’t have to hate. I do this every single day. I have great repeat and referral business. My average survey score through the manufacturer surveys is over 99%.... Over 5 years in the business. I’m a top 300 salesman nationally for a company that is a small dealership and doesn’t even carry my…

No. I’m not wrong... I negotiate every fucking day. It’s my job. I know how to negotiate.

Playing it for your bruised ego?

Give up, your dad sounds like a prick in your story, and it doesn’t even explain how he allegedly got what he wanted.

If he had bought the car that day and didn’t pay markup, I’d be impressed. The fact that he just dismissed a salesperson is no more interesting than ignoring someone passing out political fliers.

“...panic and confusion....” LOL!! Yeah, right! More like, “OK, what kind of a nut do I have THIS time?!?!?”

The only way to not get “buttfucked” by the markup that’s enabled by your fellow car “enthusiasts” is to not buy the car.

My dad is a blue collar guy who worked his ass off for 35 years. And he doesn’t treat sales people like shit because their bosses decided to markup a high demand car.

Good for him. That was still rude to do to someone you didn’t know, hadn’t spoken to, and did nothing to you, and it doesn’t make sense that you think it was justified and praiseworthy. If you can’t get that through your head, I have nothing further to say.

If your time was worth $1K per minute, you would have walked away before the salesman got there.

Your dad is an ass. First he rudely interrupted a salesman who was greeting you, second he acted as if the salesman was the one who set the prices, and third you waisted the time of the people at the dealership. You should have called ahead and asked for the price. Who the hell really is that rude to salesman who…

Now while I agree that salespeople can be sleazy and conniving, you should realize that the markup would have been set at the management level. A salesman is just the agent. I’m a bit disturbed that you and your father found pleasure in seeing the salesman “[walk] away with his tail between his legs,” as opposed to…

Your dad sounds like an asshole.
