I have been living on my own for 7 years since i was 17-18 and it has been a struggle. But i find ways around it, such as working multiple jobs, or side jobs. It is what it is. Yes im glad to have a job. Im just more surprised that alot of people feel like salespeople are out to screw them, especially after they say that the salesman has no say over the deal anyways. Alot of jobs are underappreciated, in fact a few bad people in every profession has turned the world against most professions out there. Cops, doctors, lawyers or whatever. they bare not all bad people but most people hate them all equally. > > ---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ---------- > > and go ahead and tell me you dont get pissed off when people blame you for their order being late, or being cold, or fucked up, and tell me you are thrilled when some asshole tips you like .50 when they live in the best neighborhood in town and have a new 7 series in their driveway. Im not telling you that you suck at your job, please dont assume i suck at mine. yea it gets a little old sometimes, but the majority or people are people who get delivery over and over again. and your know to get them there food first and quickly… on a average sat ill be there 4-11 drive around for 30 total miles waste $5 in gas and walk out with atleast $100. you dont even have to be good at the job. and when something is messed up im happy to take new food back bc thats means another $2.50 to me from the pizzeria ---

Clean Baldy nailed it. I laughed a lot. OP, Go work for Geico, they’ll even help pay for your school. Quit bitching because “life is so hard” and do something about it. And yes, you are whining in every single post that you’ve made in this thread, and that’s why people are going off on you. ---

It’s why people stay in nicer hotels when they go out of town. How so, at least if you’re buying new? Assuming it doesn’t have 1000 miles on it from a NASCAR wannabe lot boy, a new car is the same product no matter which dealer you buy from…you’re not buying a service. If you buy from a shitty dealership, you never have to step foot in there again, warranty work can be done anywhere. When I want to buy a new car, I figure out exactly what I want, option-wise, and find everyone who has it in a several hundred mile radius. I’ll email everyone, starting with the best [truecar.com](http://truecar.com) price and working down from there. I’ll tell everyone the lowest price I have, and if anyone wants to step up and beat it, they get the sale. No BS. If one dealer wants to throw in service contracts, beat PenFed’s financing, or other extras, or is within like a couple hundred bucks and would save me a long drive, or if someone really blows me away, I’ll reconsider, but basically I can get the same product from anyone and price is all I care about. I’ll find out what I want to buy on my own…by the time I walk into your dealership I’m ready to test drive the car and then sign the papers. ---

For the record, I can be a real asshole in person too. To the OP, obviously you need an attitude change. Either quit, or try hitting the bottle at work. This way you won’t give a fuck, and enjoy your 55 hours a week a lot better, and have a better attitude, which might even lead to you selling more cars! FWIW I am in sales and make more than $5.50 an hour. X… ---
