1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

man that is getting close. Wife's family is to the west of there at the bottom of the mountains (just off the map a ways), doesn't look like it's active in that direction anymore though.

 

The car business is very cut throat, whether in sales or service.

Not to mention like you said, the hours.

Those hours are nothing as I got used to it for many years. The issue though has been finding those with the work ethic we have, where we were ok busting our ass off for hours on end to be the bread winner. We were raised to think it was the norm to work ungodly hours, because that's what we did to support our families.

I'm not saying it's right either, to implement those hours as it's taxing on anyone, whether you have a family or not.

This younger generation (the majority) wouldn't last with what would be asked of them. Hell, I hear constant complaints about an 8 hour shift being too long. Not to mention, the expectation of starting with a higher pay right off the bat with no experience.

Unfortunately, if businesses don't change to cater to this younger crowd, they're going to find out real quick the hard way once us guys leave the car business like I did.

 

My 4-10’s were pretty sweeet

 

My 4 day, 4hr shifts will be fun AF.

Then I'll have no excuse not to work on my 4R

 

I think the fact that he has to deal with BMW owners all day doesn't help. He told me one guy got pissed because his brake pads were low and started squealing

"I paid $XXXXXX for this car, it shouldn't sound like a cheap piece of shit!!"

 

Yeah it’s scary how fast these things can move if they get a good wind.


Glad your in laws are in the other direction for sure.

 

No

School isn’t fun

 

Agreed

 

That is one thing that all advisors deal with in every brand, especially on new cars.

 

But what if it's a trade school

 

I thought you dropped out

 

Eh

 

See

Not with that attitude

 

you'll miss it someday soon

 

I don’t think it’s the school I hate

it’s the town I’m stuck in while I’m in school

 

Nope, I switched into something I actually enjoy and it’s going swell.

 

Just go to the temple, Joseph will keep you company.

 

I would get struck by lightning

 

The souls of all the Cougars will haunt you

 

We never did find the golden underwear
