It's a funny old world isn't it?
Women will use their sexuality in every way possible, and if it means that high heels and short skirts sell cars to men then they'll do it. Men fall for it every time and they know it.
Then in the next breath they moan about being sexualised and the expectations society puts on them.
So in the OPs opening post, does anything indicate that the service receptionist used her sexuality to persuade the OP to buy a Landrover? I read it forwards and backwards, and until he said later in the thread that she was undistractingly fit, it wasnt an issue.

Perhaps the OP could let us know whether he bought a car and w
k banked the receptionist, or whether he bought the car on merit of service. And is the gushing praise because she went above and beyond, or because she had tits that you wondered what they'd look like unpackedI'm more bothered about the 'but she was only a receptionist on the service desk, how could she possibly have a brain' inferences than gender on this one.

I really hope by Land Rover dealer gets the content of the feedback form emailed to me by Land Rover after my last visit.
The service receptionist was so good, she's the reason I bought a new Discovery Sport when I picked my car up after repair.
It needed some warranty work and I booked it in requesting a courtesy car. I asked if I could have a Disco Sport but was told they only had one.
On the day of taking the car in, the service woman called me to check what time I was coming. The car was being dropped off overnight. Is there a Discovery Sport? She said there wasn't but I just mentioned how I'd be in the market for one soon and would live to try one.
Get to the dealer, and she'd "stolen" a top spec Discovery Sport for me. Full tank of diesel and waved off at the door.
We loved it, returned 24 hours later to pick our now fixed car up! did a bit of dealing with the salesman, and ordered one.
All thanks to the service receptionist I ordered a new car six months to a year earlier than planned.
I got the email feedback form and filled it with praise for they way she just thought outside the norm, used her initiative, spotted an opportunity, and made things happen.
She called up yesterday (it's a paint work issue) to arrange for the car to be fixed and she knew nothing of the feedback. I get the feeling it's only when there's a problem they actually get the feedback.
I reckon she should get a bit of the commission.
It was just good to see superb service and thought from a bg main dealer chain.

I'm not someone who goes grinning and dribbling and slavvering over some dolly bird.
Indeed if a women starts waving her tits at me, batting eyelids etc its a sure fire way for me to do the opposite to what she wants. You know the type who comes in for interview and regards her physical appearance as something on the CV. That's really going to lose them the job.
What impressed me was what she did - not anything else. Most of the contact I had with her was over the phone, so it was irrelevant what she looked like.
Anyway I have an email to write to the boss of JLR. I will let you know what happens.

Shame the topic has wondered off to the all to frequent blouse ogling comments.
I hope OP will confirm the gender of the receptionist had nothing to do with the sale and the fact someone bothered to see a way to give a customer good service and the potential for a sale is what got the deed done.
Good service is a rare thing these days and I'll always have time (and a bit of extra cash) for companies who give a damn and I know I can trust. I'm also far more forgiving when the odd mistake rolls round knowing that it was a genuine error and not an indicator of a poor slap dash job.

Neither am I, under no illusions about it, when my example was, it was twenty years ago and notable as the attire was bordering on indecent.Indeed if a women starts waving her tits at me, batting eyelids etc its a sure fire way for me to do the opposite to what she wants.

There was one at work who wouldnt reply to emails and was generally useless (but shagging the boss), but when she wanted dragging out of the s
t she would wander down, flicking her hair, batting her eyelids and providing views of her cleavage.Like you say, it can make you go the other way, in this case it did, she wasnt as wonderful as she thought and the display was frankly, a bit pathetic.

Men hire women for a job and tell them to dress in a certain way/style because they know it will sell their product. The shows I work at, the girls in the Lycra aren't dressed that way through choice, they do it because their (usually male) bosses tell them to.

It's completely cringey, and the shows I work at, it's banned by the organisershttp://fortune.com/2015/03/30/tech-conference-bans...

Canterbury BMW have some cracking young ladies working on the reception, i was there yesterday and i think the competition was which could wear the highest heels the shortest skirt and the lowest cut of there top with the biggest push up bra on,popping back today for another gawp as my service book wasn't stamped.
Welcome to Canterbury BMW. Utterly useless. I intentionally use their other branch in Ashford for anything other than parts now. A swift response.
As Dr Speth is tied up in meetings this afternoon, please allow me to thank you for your lovely email on his behalf?
Dr Speth will read your note this evening and I know will be simply delighted to hear about the wonderful experience you had at Stratstone's and in particular from xxx. She really does sound like a credit to the Jaguar Land Rover team.
Dr Speth would, I know, want to also thank xxxx and therefore I will send a copy of our exchange of correspondence to Jeremy Hicks who, as Managing Director for Jaguar Land Rover in the UK, is ideally placed to pass our thanks on directly.
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and trouble to write to Dr Speth. I wish you very happy motoring in your Discovery Sport when it arrives.
Kind regards,
