There’s another tale of a billionaire who (like a surprising number of the super-rich) liked driving his ancient rusting truck and wearing flannel shirts. When he dropped into the town’s upscale car dealer to get a nice BMW or some such for his college-bound daughter, the staff ignored him. When he approached and asked for service, they told him “if you’re driving that old POS truck, you can’t afford our cars - beat it old man.” He left, had a cup of coffee at the diner across the street, and made two phone calls. Minutes later, the sales manager then went to the staff and told them “ya know that old guy you just kicked out? he just bought the dealership and fired you all.”
Don’t knock a guy for paying for a first date using a coupon.
Rich people don’t pay full price - that’s how they got rich.
My next move is to rent cars for FREE. Ever notice that box in the car rental paper where you enter the coupon code? I am investigating that. Would love to drive a few different cars every month but I need to investigate on this more.
Needless to say, there was no sale that day. They went to another city where they were not ignored and bought a beautiful new car, for cash!
