Was once ignored / spoken down to by a salesman in a Porsche main dealer when went browsing the showroom in jeans and a t shirt.

So went to a rival dealership and purchased a higher spec car for a better price, then drove back to dealer one and parked outside for the offending salesman could see him in the new car. realising the huge error he made and sale he lost, the salesmen burst into tears and was promptly sacked by his sales manager.

- calls buying a car "adding one to my stable"
- announces said purchase was one they didn't know they needed / wanted only 2 minutes prior, such is the insignificance of their wedge dropping in the grand scheme of things.
- ratchets up the level of PH awe by casually mentioning it's the wife's
- gives the car a name
- becomes acknowledged marque expert within 48hrs.

Ah I see, they don't have those in Waitrose... But I did manage to find this today, I guess it blurs the lines between this thread and the council one...

Good god, they use hand-written labels in your Waitrose? Ours has little stickers with printed prices and barcodes.

Has to ask permission from the other half before making any purchase.

Claims said purchase of a 'toy' was a spur of the moment thing while out walking the dog and ends up in the frivolous purchase thread.
