The Old Mr Walker
We had two Salespeople with the same last names and at times it could get confusing whenever customers came in looking for one of them.
We had a B.Walker that was in his mid fifties and he had a lot of gray hair with a little brown thrown in. And our other Mr. Walker was J. Walker and he was in his seventies and he had a lot of black hair with a little gray.
So when the customers came in returning to see Mr. Walker we would ask them the standard question. Do you want the old Mr. Walker or do you want the younger Mr. Walker?
If they said they wanted the older Mr. Walker we would go and get J. Walker and they would the say no, he had more gray hair. This would make J. Walker grin every time because he knew that he was quite a bit older than B. Walker.
Even the times when they asked for the young Mr. Walker and we went and go B. Walker because he was younger we knew that they really wanted J. Walker who was really older.

Pot Luck Lunches At The Dealership
The ladies in the office liked to cook the latest recipe and try it out on the people that worked at the dealership. We would always brag on whatever they made, because hey, the more you would brag the more they would make.
You would think they would know what we were up to but they never seemed to catch on. Thank goodness.
Around the Holiday's they always wanted to have a potluck meal where everyone brought a dish. All of the guy's would have their spouses or girlfriends make their favorite dishes and the ladies wanted to see whose would be eaten up first.
Sometimes I would be afraid to eat something if I didn't know who made it because they would sometimes add ingredients that made it extremely hot or add ingredients that didn't belong in it.
One day was at Christmas Eve we had a potluck and someone had made brownies. They looked great and they smelled great but something told me not to eat them. It wasn't long before the plate was clean and the ladies asked who made those wonderful brownies. No one claimed them which confirmed more my decision not to eat any.
We left early for Christmas on Christmas Eve and the Dealership was closed on Christmas Day. We came back to work the day after Christmas and the office staff of ladies were all out sick, as well as a few of the service staff. It was said that they had gotten a bug.
When I went over to the Used Car Department after the Sales Meeting all of the salespeople were hovering around together laughing. They said the ladies had a bug didn't they. Yes, someone said.
Maybe they should not have eaten so many Brownies!
They had an added ingredient, exlax!!

The Wasp Nest
In the Spring the wasp and bees like to build their nest in things that didn't move. And sometimes they would build a nest in thing that did move but were just sitting for a while.
They loved to build their nest in the car mirrors and they loved to build them in the wheel wells of the Saab.
Every few weeks we would have a lot party and this would entail moving every car on the entire lot to a new location. To the customer it looked like we had more new inventory and it kept the batteries up from sitting still. It also kept the tires from getting flat spots on them.
We hated the Saabs, because every time you went to show them you had jump them off with a jumper box and you had to run from the bees.
One day a few young men pulled onto the lot and they got out to look at the Saabs. Some of the Salespeople that didn't have customers were watching them to see if they were serious customers or just tire kickers.
I liked to greet everyone who came on the lot but I already had a customer and we were getting ready to go on a test drive.
Just before we pulled off of the lot, the guys had found a car that didn't have the doors locked and they were looking the car all over when all of a sudden we heard a scream and then bees,bees,bees and a door slaming and causing the bees to get even more upset.
I got out of the car where my customer was and excused myself so I could go and get some bee sting spray to take their sting away, before getting back with my customer.
When we got back the guys were waiting outside my office wanting to thank me for the bee spray and to let me know that they would be back to see me to buy three Saabs.
After I finished with my customer and delivered him his new car, I went to find the salespeople who were watching the guys with the bees and told them that because they were very rude they lost out on a three car deal.
The next day the guys came back with their parents and I got the three cars that they were interested in and brought them around to the front minus the bees and we test drove them. When we got back to the dealership we wrote them up and got the customer into finance. Then the mother said she wanted to buy a new Lincoln. We settled on a vehicle, test drove it a they went home in four new vehicles.
