Story from a FORD dealership
« on: October 26, 2012, 10:18:48 AM »
From Tom Selkis' (Latham Ford) Facebook..........                                                                                                   
  True story yesterday at the dealership.....                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                     
  "I'll try to make this as short and to the point as I can                                                                                           
  One of my salesmen here had a women in his office yesterday wanting to lease a brand new Focus. As he was reviewing her credit app with her he     
  noticed she was on social security disability. He said to her you don't look like your disabled and unable to work. She said well I'm really not, I
  could work if I wanted to but I make more now than I did when I was working and got hurt (non-disabling injury).                                   
  She said the gov't sends her $1500.00 a month in 1 check, she gets $700.00 a month on an EBT card (food stamps), and $800.00 a month for rent. Oh   
  yeah and 250 minutes free on her phone. That is just south of $3500.00 a month.                                                                     
  When she was working she was taking home about $330.00 per week. Do the math and then ask yourself why the hell should she go back to work. If you 
  multiply that by millions of people you start to realize the scope of the problem we face as a country. Once the socialist have 51% of the         
  population in that same scenario we are finished.                                                                                                   
  The question is when do we cross that threshold if we haven't already, and there are not enough people working to pay enough taxes to support the   
  non-working people?  Riots??  Be prepared to protect your homes.                                                                                   
  She didn't lease the Focus here because the dealer down the road beat our deal $by 10.00/month. Glad to know she is so frugal with her hard earned  money." 


I don't know if this is a true story or not...I got it in an email......

I have a hard time believing that salesman would say that to a customer. The Dealership owners I know around here would fire a salesman on the spot for making a comment like that. Also, if I was that lady and told that. I would wing out on the guy big time.

I have heard some of these people talking about how they make more money not working than they did when they worked....I can see this happening...the salesman makes the comment as a compliment and she opens up and spills it all.

I heard people talking about it also. But I don't see how saying that can be done as a compliment.
