Re: Help with Sperzels

The salesman's job is to sell me something.

It's my responsibility to decide if I want to buy the product; my responsibililty to determine if the product will do the job; my responsibility to learn how to use it correctly.

If you do not take those responsibilities--you will will always be dealing with idiot salesmen, and be at the mercy of shysters.

True, but the salesman should still be educated about what he's selling. Otherwise, why even have him there?

Would you buy a new car from a guy who didn't understand it's features? Let's say it had some kind of fancy manual/auto transmission like some new cars do, and when you asked the salesman how to operate it, instead of knowing (or admitting he didn't know and finding out for you) he just rattled off a bunch of totally incorrect bullcrap to sound like he knew what he was talking about?

One could argue that it's still the buyer's responsibility to read the manual and learn the correct operation of the car, but if you thought the salesman described in detail the correct method in person, you probably wouldn't crack that manual open before you drove it off the lot.

Stranded a mile down the road with a mutilated transmission, you'd have all the time in the world to check out the manual, but little good would it do you.

It's one thing to not be familiar with a product. If a salesman was up front and honest with me about this unfamiliarity, I might forgive him. If a salesman fed me a line of garbage I'd be totally ticked off, especially if the information he gave me could potentially damage the product like in the case of using the thumbscrews like fine tuners.
