My mother once had a car salesman fired for refusing
to take her seriously. He asked her to bring my dad in
with her before he would sell her a car. She pointed
out that my dad already had a car and wasn't looking
for a new one, but the guy wouldn't take the hint. She
finally got fed up and talked to the dealership owner
and had the guy fired. She's bought her last 5 cars
there and the owner took her seriously.

Sheryll, wondering if she should offer to send her mom
to assist in the car buying process
