Somewhere along the line somebody told customers that its all right to be rude and abusive, that its cool to yell at these people when they don't get their way. I've heard people tell me their "cool stories" about how they one upped someone trying to sell them something or that when they didn't get their way which was often against the organizations property that they told the person to fata off, yelled at them etc.

It's because they've dealt with so many sleazy car salesmen that you treat them all like that.

So I understand why people in sales tend to be jaded after a while.

I think it's more that they don't like being treated like the sleazeballs that most of them are. They think their crap doesn't stink but they've got no problem lying whenever they think they can get away with it.

Why is it ok for some people to act like an a%% or treat someone who's doing their job like a serf?

Because the sleazeballs waste people's time with their lies and their stupid negotiation games. No one likes being treated like a fool but it's hard not to if you want to buy a vehicle.
