      Trying to buy a car - knew exactly what we wanted and had negotiated prices before coming in, buying all cash. So far it’s been two hours and they’ve tried to check my credit twice (?)

      It’s remarkable how many companies get away with being borderline openly hostile to their customers

          A GMC I don’t even care it’s all the same. Some SUV grocery getter that two kids fit in more easily. I drive a 17 year old civic. It’s either that or a Tesla. No middle ground.

          Once a salesperson at a furniture store wouldn't tell me how much a dining set cost. Her rationale was that I would just take that price and shop at the store across the street. She was right about one thing, I did shop across the street.

          When we bought my mom a car the walk in price on Costco auto program beat the best price we could get even after two hours of haggling complete with the classic them chasing us down in parking lot theatrics.

          When negotiating for a car, be sure to use the phrase "out the door" or something synonymous when discussing final price.https://www.edmunds.com/car-buying/know-all-the-costs-before-saying-yes.html …
