Homeless VS Rich Prank! by JoshPalerLin
• Homeless VS Rich Prank!
We filmed this awhile ago,I thought it was interesting. Anyways, I told myself I would be consistent this month,
let me know your feedback! Please like and share! I'm going to post an epic video within the next few days!
FatalismTV you shouldve went the next day to the same guy you dumbass
I did something like this once at Gucci but instead of going to different locations I went to the same on a week after.
After my purchase I asked if they recognized me and they didn't and so I explained.
FatalismTV This isn't an experiment. Your independent variable should have been the same person. You tested two different guys. You only demonstrated the two different personalities of different car salesmen.
S3CR37AZ14N19 right
FatalismTV The dialogue when someone enters is very important and the two guys had totally different approaches. "you guys got the McLaren?" C'mon... you just don't do that. Then, suddenly he's happy to settle for an SLK!! That info told the salesman that this clown wasn't serious at all.
Why is it that in these so called "experiments", the parameters are always totally different. Wow, like we are meant to be so surprised to see the social class discrimination!!
It's funny that those dealers will judge you but can't afford it themselves. 🤔
A dud that sells exotic sad that people who buy them come in flip flops and shorts..
Bo s3ood Everyone can look rich these days..
Bo s3ood What ?! I also wear branded clothes and i dont see a difference if i wear a plain black shirt or a Armani one.. What kind of a fucked up place do you live in ?! I never heard of that..
+DerZeppterdesAldi have you seen how bill gates dresses and how Steve Jobs used to dress?
conditionzeromaniac Yeah Bill Gates dresses like he comes out of a chessclub and steve job like he is always on business.
think the indian guy was more of a genuine dude than the first chinese one
+Joe marine lol are u an indian too :D
Science Pro
No im not
He is Egyptian
ROKMC Rec. That's becos he was with formal clothes, he should go bk to the same dealer.
TRIPLE SKEEM Don’t assume 😂. In this case tho the 2nd guy seemed more genuine tho
it might be the guy working there - the other guy seems nicer
Or he just came in looking like absolute shit like most of these poor vs rich videos.
ayyyyyyyyyy yuwan!!!!!!!
yessir
This how to buy a cr z
Hey I know u I have played forza horizon 4 with you I guess last year we the Goliath sircit
I don't dress formal. Once I went an Audi dealership with my go eat some rice shirt and they let me test drive R8.
Your Asian they know your parents will buy it for you.
Riceman what's up RIceman? :P btw i watch all your videos :)
Shots fired 🔫
Pls stop making lame videos, ur not even funny for real
Hahah rice man its cause youre Asian
all asian people are rich and smart
Dumb because you should have approached the same salesman the second time also.
+Jorge Martinez You are so right. And he got to approach more salesman as one is never enough to judge. I do sales and honestly all I see is the people's attitude if they want to buy a product. Those customers who ask just for the fuck of it, whether in formal/informal, i will try to give them lesser attention than a customer who really needs the product.
+Benny not i agree. i thought this video was suppose to be funny. these boys just dont understand people on their most basic level.
Different salesman, this video is pointless
Agreed
Ikr
You said it!
well, at least it showed how rude the first guy was
Agreed
As a car salesman I want to say I'm disgusted with how that Asian salesman handled himself. Completely disrespectful and ignorant. It's people like him that give us salesman a bad name. Respect customers and appreciate them and make them comfortable.
all car sales people are at the bottom of the ladder of sales. The car is sold by tv marketing etc, or a basic need just like getting a pint of milk. The people in the showroom only fill in bits of paper but act as though they are important. That is every car salesperson in every showroom in every town in every country all across the world.
He gives asians a bad name.
I would slap him
That employee really is customer unfriendly, as employee you NEVER ask someon "Do you even know how much that car costs!!?".... bad employee.
Well to be fair, you went to 2 different dealerships/ showrooms.
Maybe the staff at the first one are just assholes (or just that one employee).
You could've went there again dressed formally and vice versa to really do a proper experiment.
+Samara Weaving He would have to make sure the same salesperson isn't there that day so he won't be outsed on his prank. Or use two different people for the job.
+Ndasuunye no that wouldn't be a very good experiment just like this one isn't.
In order for it to be a good experiment the guy would need to go to the same dealer ship, with the same sales person, and relatively the same time of day.
He went to two different stores with two different sales men dressed completely different. That's way to many variables to tell if this experiment actually worked.
They should have gone to one several people and dressed down and up to each to see over all. You can go to two completely different sales associates of different culture with two different looks and expect the same outcome...
+Ndasuunye When I worked in sales if you came to me regardless of how you dressed you would get a different service from every sales associate in the store. I treated (and still do) treat everyone the same. Whether they came in to spend 10k or 15$ it didn't matter if you were dressed like a hooker or dressed like the richest person in the world you would get the same service regardless of what you came and intended on spending. The only thing that altered how I treated you was how you treated me.
But if you went to some of my coworkers and you were dressed in sweat pants and t shirt or jeans and a t shirt then you would be treated completely different than if you wanted in dressed in a full suit or expensive dress. And most times it was the ones dressed down that spent the most.
Agree, AND with intent to buy. Because then he could go back in his street clothes and purchase from someone else
incogneterpeter unfortunately you are a single individual, not the representation of the entire car lot business.
This would have made more sense if they pranked the same dealer.
He would have recognized the same guy
+Arush Naidu Use a different guy
oh... you're right
There is absolutely no control in your expiriment. Only variables, Eveything changes. Not a valid science or social expiriment :/ still entertainig though.
true
control could hv been valid if one was black. He was the same dude but with different attire. could u gv an example of the control experiment ??!!
srry. self correction. He should hv gone to the same salesman
Same salesman, same car, same person
the only variable is the appearance of the guy who is asking to look at the car. wealthy appearance or poor appearance
.
INDIANS ARE ALWAYS SOFT IN TALKING, U SHOULD TRY WITH THE SAME ASIAN GUY, WHICH U HAVE TALKED WITH WHEN U WERE IN NORMAL APPEARANCE , THEN WE CAN SEE WHAT IS TRUTH
*Egyptian
*Idiot
True my dad got the our suv from that guy and my dads a trucker he is nice
Chill, no need to yell.
Indians are asian for a fact
This reminds me of a story my grandpa told me. He was a successful farmer and wanted to buy a new car. One day after he was done working, he went down to the dealership and asked to see a car. The salesman, seeing a dirt covered farmer, told him the car was sold. My grandpa asked another salesman a few days later and ended up buying the car in cash. A prime example of the saying "don't judge a book by its cover.
We need to start treating people equal!
***** *equally
How do you know their Nationality?
Well, communists usually cant afford cars that even normal people drive. By communist I don't mean Russians, I mean the cheap ones you find riding cycles in San Francisco Bay area.
Free benz for allllll
I went to look at a new 2015 mustang the other day and I was smart by taking our Hummer, instead of my Ford Fusion LOL I had the salesman running all over the place! I was so happy to see people look like idiots LOL
TheSincererAlmond Haha got em!
TheSincererAlmond i dont get it
TheSincererAlmond hummers is just a bulkier tahoe... nothing special with them
such a lier! Probably took his 1980 Camry and no one sold him a car 😁😂😂
Jeremy L I think you should do some research on the Hummer lol, a lot more than just a bulkier Tahoe
It's the age, a young kid (dressed nice or poor) is not taken seriously compared to an older person, 30's-40's+. I work at a MB dealership this is the mentality we have because the younger kids are the ones who just wanna check out the new S550 or the G-Wagon while the older ones are just there to buy it.
Chthonian121 This is not necessarily true. Asian kids (dressed formal or fancy) with accents are always taken seriously since so many of those spoiled international students are into expensive cars. Since you work at a MB dealership, you'd better start taking young foreigners seriously. I know a Chinese guy who got lots of money from his parent. Around 2 years ago he went to a MB dealership to check out a SLS AMG but the salesperson didn't think he could afford that car and didn't bother talking to him. He got upset, called his manager and bought the SLS on the showroom with cash.
Now most dealership I have been to (porsche, maserati, BMW, MB, etc) value those young customers a lot. They buy expensive cars frequently without thoughts thanks to their rich parents. An older person would probably take longer for the process since they actually make their own money. If you are not convinced, go visit a university campus with a large international student population and check out their cars. No offense to you.
Chthonian121 Thanks for your insights! Certainly I only know about the situation within my own community. I never thought of the middle eastern rich kids but only the Asian ones. I guess it's really a regional thing that happened mostly around college towns. My town isn't very rich and you rarely see local people with anything more expensive than the new E class or 5 series. Probably some old folks drive a 10 or 20 years old MB or BMW but that's pretty much it. The MB dealership that I bought my car at said they sold over 80% of their cars to Asian international students. A Maserati/Ferrari dealership I visited said like 21 of the 23 new cars they sold in a while are to Chinese or Korean young kids. They even hire salesperson who speak Chinese or Korean just for that purpose.
Anyhow, I definitely see your points. And a young kid looking for a S550 or G SUV most likely won't buy it for sure. The most popular MB around me are C63, CLS63, and ML63. The S class sedan and G class are just too mature for young kids.
AyazakuraRinne you don't work at a MB dealership
Chthonian121 I went to a jaguar dealership and the guy mentioned this. He didnt think I was a serious buyer, I think because of my age. When I asked him he said yeah you are a serious buyer...but soon he ran away after I was not interested in his shitty used jag.
Howard Hughes the 2nd Never buy used Jags lmao. We sell all the Jags older than 2012 at auctions when they get traded in because they have so many mechanical issues
The 2nd man is incredibly nice. I hope we get more people like him.
Wow. First salesman was a douche. Great experiment bro!
or maybe he realised instantly that you were wasting his time.
i had a friend who went to a bmw dealership in sweatpants and an adidas jacket and went out with the X6. The staff member told him "people in shorts and flipflops are more important (money wise) than men in suits"
lol my dad took his BMW to the dealer to get serviced in sweatpants and we got offered drinks, and we got to sit inside an M6 with an all red interior, and got to see the engine. And he said he got offered to test drive the i8 lol.
I think not only does the appearance matter but the car you're trading in affects the salesman's behavior as well. My personal experience: I went to a Chevy dealer dressed up in a tee and shorts asking to see the corvette Z06. I was ignored and told to wait for a guy because they were all "busy". When one finally showed up to talk to me, he didn't show the slightest effort in trying to sell me the Z06. After I mentioned I own an Audi and a Benz to trade in, his expression immediately brightened up and offered me test drives/incentives/ showed me around the car's features etc.
I don't blame the salesmen..Since they only earn the majority of their money from successful sales, they can't afford to waste time with those looking for a free drive.
This happened in real life to my father, who can afford several mercedes. He was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, went to a mercedes dealership, and before he could open his mouth a salesperson told him "The used carlot is across the street."
So you're telling us you got treated differently by 2 different salesman? Who could of seen that coming lol
Lol I went to go buy my Evo and I pulled up in my 1987 Toyota Pickup with basketball shorts, a t shirt, and sandals. Everyone was looking at me weird, and the salesman expression when I gave him an envelope with 4,000 dollars for the down payment was priceless
I love Michaels voice it gives me chills anyone else?
sad that it has to be that way... my dad was a car dealer and he ALWAYS taught his sales department to never judge a book by its cover. but unfortunately people do all the time..smh
Dude you used two different sales men you have to use the same guy for this to be an effective experiment
I had a similar experience. My husband wanted to buy me a diamond ring for my 26th bday, the first day we went to the shops just to see what's out there and were not planning on buying the ring that day. We went after work and were dressed nicely. Every salesperson was going out of their way as soon as we would walk into the shop offering things,showing rings, etc. The next time we went on a weekend and were going to buy the ring that day. We were dressed casually and every time we had to wait forever for someone to show us something, we had to go to them and ask them if we could have a look at something, otherwise no one was talking to us lol we ended up buying the ring and the sales guy was so surprised when we told him we were taking it, and he started offering loan options, imagine his surprise when we told him we are paying by a debit card and don't need a loan lol it was hilarious:)
This is SO TRUE! I went to a cadi dealer to buy a cts coupe and I was dressed normal. Not to spiffy or special. Immediately they stereotyped me for having poor credit and not having the money to buy the car. When they found out OTHERWISE. They were all over my ass. I bought the car from a different dealer, but gosh. Its true.
OMG my Dad is so like this! he drives a 100K+ Mercedes but he wears very casual clothes (almost to the point that he looks lower-class). And he will purposely dress that way when car shopping to see which salesman actually cares about the client and gives them a genuine luxury buying experience even when it is not apparent how much money someone has. It is hilarious how many Lexus and BMW sales people have turned their noses up only to literally run over when they see our car as we get in to leave!
in the 80s 3 aboriginal guys won lotto they wanted 3 new cars ..first dealership told em to piss off. second dealer next door got the sale lol
steff serpent were you one of the Aboriginals
I found it interesting. Same thing happened with my Grandfather. He borned in a humble and poor family and after many work years he got rich. He didnt change his apperance at all and still was humble until he dies. I remember i was around 7/8 when he went to volkswagen stand to buy a car and the dealer didnt give a shit to talk to him because my Grandfather would dress really simple. Crossing the road had the Chevrollet Stand and the dealer was really helpful and didnt care about his looks. I remember my grandfather brought this Bag full of money and paid the car with CASH. Of course, after the dealer see this, he gave a huge % discount to my grandfather due to the fact it was paid in Cash.
2 years ago my wife and I went car shopping, she was wearing gym cloth and I was wearing sandals, shortpants and a t-shirt, we went to a BMW dealer and asked for the 650i grand coupe and guess what! The dude almost asked us to fuck off, he didnt seem convinced that we were serious about buying so he treated us like wanna be's window shoppers and he even suggested a used cars dealer so we spoke to his manager and they sent him home and the manager called us another salesman but we decided it was too much rudness already so we walked across the street to an Audi dealer and got an A5 and a TT, then we drove the Audis back to BMW and told the manager to pick his sales agents more carefully because that guy's attitud was the only thing that turned our 60-40 BMW Audi and made it a 99-1 Audi overBMW decision and that we were 100% comited to the BMW and thats why we walked in there first, the manager turned red and just apologized to us, never judge a book by its cover
hope this story is real
cause this makes me happy in some way
Years ago, I did a brief stint as a salesman in a car dealership. One day, an older man came in dressed in dirty work clothes like he worked on a farm. All the other sales people did what they could do to avoid dealing with him because they thought he would just be a waste of time.
So I greeted him and decided to help him. He paid cash for a brand new vehicle that day and, before he left, he told me that he dressed down intentionally because he was looking for someone who wouldn't judge someone based on appearances and he told me he noticed how many of the sales staff ran off when he was coming in to find someone to help him.
Easy sale. No credit check required. Cash money money!
You should have rented a limo for an hour or something... When you left the first dealership, after they treat you badly, make sure they see you enter a massive limo or something. They'll be thinking they just blew an easy sale!
Bought my first Mercedes three years ago. After parking my 15-year-old Taurus, I went to the Mercedes-Benz dealership closest to me, and I could smell the attitude in the air. After saying she was busy, a pretty saleslady steered me to the C-class, which was a little tight for this tall, skinny guy. Getting information on the car was like pulling teeth, so I did her a favor and left. A couple of months later, I went to another M-B dealership further from my home, and the vibe was totally different. I bought a brand new E350 sedan, luxury edition, P2 package, etc., and after determining within the first year that it wasn't a lemon, I paid off the note. Funny postscript: I went back to the dealership nearer to me to have my new license plates put on, and a salesman told me that I should go back to where I bought it to have them do it. No joke! But I do go regularly down the street to get my free car washes and mixed nuts, and the service rep is a good guy. Love the car! My only regret now is that I didn't get an AMG version. But I look forward to keeping this baby for a long time.
They sometimes run away business, and don't even know it. Like I always say, my money can be spent anywhere...
3:06 how humble he is ...this salesman deserve to be employee of the year...
Different people, different reactions
I've experienced the same thing. Either I'm dressed in a tailored made to measure suit, or my casual urban wear. (Sneakers, shirt, jeans). I purchased the 2015 S550 (paid in full, without financing) last (July?). When I walked in to dealership there were several salesman there, doing absolutely nothing other than sitting at their desks, and NOBODY approached me. I found it to be funny... because none of them knew they were missing out on a VERY easy sale (I went in with the intent of purchasing the car, THAT DAY). A black woman, who also happened to be new, came up to me. She walked me around and showed me the older S550's, that cost 30-40k, used. I told her I wanted the new one. Shortly after, I went to get a cashier's check, and came back... As they were preparing some of the paperwork, I was standing around in the show room and they pulled up the white S550 from the garage. All of the salesman asked me what car I got... I pointed at the S Class.. and I could tell they all felt stupid. They continued to congratulate me on the car, and asked me questions about what I did and everyone was standing there in a group showing interest ----any good sales person should know that you can't judge by appearance. You should speak to a person first... I'd judge off of a conversation, not how a person looks.
6 to 8 months to get the car??
I would have just said that I'll buy it from elsewhere where I can get it right away
He said he would give him a free S Class to drive for 8 months, and when the McLaren arrive he give the S Class back and take the McLaren.
Yes but what I meant is that I would find a car dealer that can give me the mclaren right away
I wouldn't mind waiting 8/9 months for a mclaren if Id get a free luxury car at the meantime.
Илья Калашников let me get this straight, if i dress like im mad rich and i want a car that would take forever for the dealership to get and they would let me take one of their best luxury cars in the meantime for free? Holy shit sign me up. Cause after few months i'll tell them they can have car back i changed my mind.
I don't see any point waiting for almost a year if other dealers have the damn laren in their shop ready to go lol
My Grandpa once wanted to get a new car, a BMW, but he didn't get good service at all the first time. He was normally dressed. Then he went home, put a nice suit on and came back to the place, and got awesome service like the guy in the video the second time!
So it's not just this one time, or just this specific employee.
Wtf $200,000 for an SLK AMG?
***** no, base price on MB Canada (where this was filmed) for an SLK 55 AMG is $81,000.
They're £40k in England.
Mr. Taco Mercedes has a realy high quality, so a lambo would be worse then the Mercedes. ;)
Mr. Taco It's a fact. Maybe the Lambo looks cooler and is faster, but the quality of a mercedes is better. Whatever, it's your choice. :P
Mr. Taco Depends on which Mercedes and which Lambo :^)
So I'm from Bombay, India. We have all kinds of people walking into Merc dealerships here. If we saw JUST 10% of that first salesman's attitude, he'd get into some SERIOUS trouble here with the company. You guys must be really patient to tolerate this sh*t.
u should have went to the same delete ship
dealer
Yeah
That's what I was thinking. But then maybe the same employees we working and would notice the same people.
or you can go to the same dealership with different people.
This is the biggest flaw... I went to a benz dealership dressed like shit and i got good service, i ended up buying a 2017 Benz GLE SUV which was close to 100k
Its awesome how dealerships treat you. Took my g37 for 'service' the other day to Infiniti.. They talked to me like a child, trying to sell me on useless services..... opened my hood..... conversation changed right away.
Ofcourse it has something to do with the appearance, but the attitude of the salesmen is what really counts. When I walk in a store that's ment for like, "rich people", while I'm just wearing school clothes, I sometimes get weird looks and sometimes just get treated the same as all the others in the store, while I honestly have enough money to spend there.
I did the same thing at Metro Ford. Walked in with jeans and a t-shirt. No one wanted to help me so I picked the guy who looked he needed the commission and I bought myself the best car in the showroom. It was a 93 1/2 Special Edition Convertible. Canary Yellow exterior and white leather interior. When I signed for the car and paid cash of $30,000 I looked at the others smiled and said thanks for all your help. Boy were they upset at the guy who helped me. Their loss!
If I was to ever get as far as to be able to afford a high end car... I will dress as casual as possible,, just to see....haha
Many years ago. . (About 1975) I had a friend who went into a BMW dealership while he was wearing a Belstaff jacket (Google it - Motorcycle jacket made out of waxed cotton. . they always look dirty and greasy because of the wax on the cloth that makes it waterproof). . Anyway, he's checking out the cars and the salesman says "What do you want?. . Not "Can i help you?" or "Are you looking for a particular car, Sir?" or "Good morning!". . Just "What do you want?"
My friend says "I'm looking at this car. I would like to buy it". . The salesman said "I doubt you could afford it. You need to leave" My friend says "How much DOES it cost?" The salesman says the price (I can't remember what it was back in those days. . but expensive, of course) and after telling him the price again says "I think you should leave".
Now. . those Belstaff jackets have huge pockets on them, as well as big pockets inside. My friend reaches into those pockets and pulls out CASH worth enough to buy TWO BMW's. . puts it on the roof of the car, and says to the salesman "You're RIGHT. I should leave. I'm gonna go buy a couple of Mercedes instead of this BMW. Fuck you - no commission, cunt!" and walks out. .
Yes - he DID buy TWO 'his and hers' Mercedes that day!!
What I would do is dress in completely normal clothes and walk in interested in the a S550. When they start treating me like I can't afford it I pull out a briefcase with $100k and say "Count it bitch"
But honestly it just depends on the dealership. I went to this one group of dealerships that sold BMW, Audi, and Porsche and none of them cared about me. So I went to the Mercedes Benz dealership that was ran by a smaller group and was greeted by a sales man at the door. Same experience when I compared the their Toyota dealerships too. Same exact inventory but one had salesmen that wanted to sell cars and the other had no salesmen in the showroom.
Lol man
Holy crap. He can order the McLaren for him. Awesome service. Nice guy.
they just don't like people going into the dealerships just to look at cool cars for fun when they don't have the money to do so. It wastes people's time.
RealDarkFilm, it's thier job anyway.
I think you should've went to the same dealership to see the real difference. I just found your channel, loved you videos man, keep it up. SUBSCRIBED!
Well of course you get treated differently based on how you dress. People are judgmental it's a fact of life.
A real car person is always happy to talk about the cars.Does not matter if you are buying or not. Treat all people as they are buying cause you never know if they have money or not.
This is a stupid experiment. High end Car dealers always get ransoms who wear regular clothes who just stop in to eye their dream cars and try to convince the dealers to allow test drives. So it's obvious that the person who dresses like those window shoppers will get brushed off because the dealers will automatically assume they are window shoppers whom they deal with regularly who waste the dealers time opposed to the man who dresses up and went inside to check out a car.
Years ago, my Father in Law sold new caes. (This was back in the late 50's) Guy pulled up in a beat up pickup, it was belching smoke, he was dressed in dirty overalls. None of the salesman (except for my FIL) wanted to waste their time with him. Guy asked price on a new car, was told price and amount for trade. Guy sits down, and whips out the CASH without haggling at all! 2 points from this:1) still happening more than 60 years later, 2) ALL the sales reps were eager to help ANY potential customer, no matter what the appearance.
what camera u used to record the video?
+: : pumpkin pie : : Pivothead glasses!
+: : pumpkin pie : : Potato
+Defcon 5 lmao
I think it was a glasses cam. You can get them on eBay or Geek. Pretty cool though. That is why the guy asked him to take off his shades.
good for recording sex POV..haha
i proved this theory wrong today, i think this guy was paid off, i went into ferrari-maserati of central florida to take a look(there was a laferrari, 5x 458 speciale a, and customer f12tdf) and they were extremely nice, my mom, who knows nothing about cars was educated by one of the salesmen, and a guy who brought his california to be serviced was really nice too and let me hear the exhaust a little(a lot), and the salesman even offered us drinks and showed us around, they are actually really nice, don't be thrown off by this vid guys, also my dad took his car to be serviced at BMW Columbia, SC in sweat pants and a t shirt, and i was in khaki shorts and a t shirt, and they were still extremely nice to us, offered us drinks there too, and let us see the interior and opened the engine bay of an M6 that was there at the time. i think it works vice versa, at shitty car manufactuers delerships you get shitty service(except honda, where they have small movie theater, arcade, and free drinks and popcorn.) but dont get it twisted, i think this vid is fake, because i had sch a good experience, and even a 458 spider owner came in dressed like he just woke up got met at the door with a smile and they got right to him.
They don't really care about your dressing , what they really care about is your credit score and how much of a down payment you are gona put ,
... Or, for the people that can actually afford it, just buying it outright.
MrParaadrian1989 Oh you mean like how it is tattooed on most peoples' foreheads clearly, so they should just read it? lolz. Go work in a car dealership for a month and then come back and say it isn't tiring to assume every single person that walks in is equally likely to be a buyer and treating them exactly the same, when you know, plain as day, that after working so long you start to notice patterns and can tell by looks less/more likely IN AGGREGATE intent to buy.
MrParaadrian1989 they care about how you dress, because cheaper clothing means you have less money, if you are judging by looks
MrParaadrian1989 I once was naive like you.
This is a true story.
My father worked as a captain and after a trip the men on the ship have had a huge salary and they all wanted to buy the same car. One of them went into the car dealer and said he wanted to buy 10 cars (or something like that) of the same type (this was about 40 years ago, so I dont know the type) and they did not believe him and did not want to give the guy service.
So he got angry and they bought them somewhere else.
Then they all lined up and went back to the same car dealer that refused to give them service just to say "hi".
The car seller got a very long face and had lost a very good paycheck.
You can't judge a book by it's cover!
Aren't covers supposed to be judged.
Happen to my father. But my father show off the money xD and you know what the car dealer did. "Take a seat sir" with a huge ass smile
Please do it dressed like a homeless person.
yessssssssssss
YAAS
+SheepCatChyna dont say YAAS this work is pissing me off
+Ruffies Where I work, there's a guy that looks like he may be a homeless person....
He drops 60k a year at the shop, so you don't want to judge someone by their looks.
Back when you were able to smoke in bars and restaurants. There was a place I frequent with my friends, where the waiters would check the brand of the cigarettes in the ashtrays when changing it. What they did was, if they spotted expensive brand (we have different prices for different cigarettes), they would serve that table like they're in love with the guests :D
Funny enough the only tobacco brand I liked at the time was Parliament and it took me few visits to figure out why waiters were always around my table :D
So yes...Appearance does make a big difference in service world.
The experiment is 100% flawed because you went to 2 different dealerships and talked to 2 different people. You just got a douche bag the first dealership and a nice guy the second dealership. Your experiment has no constant variable and is not reliable
Shitty dealers exist no matter what you wear sometimes. I live in Ontario as well and when I was buying my new 2013 GTI, the first dealership I went to didn't take me seriously at all and refused to check inventory for me or anything. I went to a second dealer on the same day, same clothing, and they treated me as well as the second dealer in the video, and I got the car on the spot.
Funny thing is, you guys went to different dealerships... First one was standard and one was luxuryus (sorry for spelling) so its probably more likely to better service at luxuryus one even if you go in sweatpants
They are both Mercedes
Riceman but one is way higher class dealership than the other
Riceman Not all dealerships of the same brand are the same. First one looks ghetto as fuck, second one looks a lot nicer.
Peter Quagmire Yeah, you could also tell by the way the 2 guys were dressed. And the showroom looked waay different.
+Peter Quagmire you could've corrected your spelling on google instead of saying you are sorry. this is unacceptable and lazy.
I was a victim of dealership pre-judging, I had about 34k cash and when i asked for someone in Toyota's sales team to help me; they ignored me and no one wanted to assist, At the time i planned on getting an late-model Tacoma SRT. So to get even i wasted there time, i signed all of the paperwork until the title signature and then said i'd be back and never returned. Take that #Toyota.
Went with a KIA instead, I was offered great service and a friendly sales person assisted me through the process as well as got a chunky commission for me paying in cash.
This is not a fare comparison, he's talking to two separate individual, it could just be the individual themself. Come on, we all know there's tons of discrimination out there, video record that, you don't need to reach
Nice
If you don't go to the same dealer with a second person that is in formal wear, than its irrelevant. The first dealer may of just been poor at his job, while the second was doing his job really well.
What are you recording with in this video?

I had my friend go into the Audi dealership to buy a brand new RS6 Avant, He did not dress "nice" and when he asked if he could test drive they told him calmly to please leave the dealership. I was chocked when I heard this and my friend never went back to buy the car, instead he bought a E63 S wagon. Audi then ended up sending him a personal apology but I guess that is the last time my friend will ever put a step into any Audi dealership.
Moral of the story. If you are a salesman, take everyone seriously because you never know! if you denie a serious customer a test drive. If you are going to do so, then do it in a good manner and let the customer have the chance to show you that he/she is talking business and not bullshit.
How cn u buy a McLaren from a Mercedes dealership anyway
that's what I want to know
hmm..didnt kno tht.thnks fer the info
SLR McLaren
McLarens are branched out from Mercedes.
This is actually usually the opposite. People who go dressed well to dealerships are usually faking it and not looking to buy.
A guy turning up in shorts & a t-shirt probably got off his yacht & is buying now...all cash.
But you went to two different dealerships.. It would have been better if you went to the same one, just space it out so you're not recognized.
I have had somewhat a similar experience like this. I work as a diesel mechanic and ventured into a car dealer when looking for a different vehicle. I showed up in my work attire and had a hard time getting helped, next day i went there on my day off and had no trouble having having a salesman come up to me, not sure if it was due to my clothes or the people. I do believe your visual appearance does make a difference, sadly.
Ohhhh appearance. At the beginning i thought he said parents
He probably went into that first showroom looking like absolute shit.
pause at 3:10 .. thank me later
thank you never
Uha ha
What is it?
Tha fuck ...
nothing happend jo
The Maybe Person the dudes face right? That's what the pause was for
I walked into Scottsdale Porsche Audi in October 1988 as a 23 year old wearing cut off jean shorts and a t shirt . The salesman
Richard S (still remember his last name ) just not posting it . He couldn't have been more professional .I drove the owners 911 turbo cab within 15 minutes . I ended up buying a triple black factory slantnose from him . Never did he snub me . So if you want genuine service . Dress like you would normally , if they snub you ...go somewhere else . Then go back later and show them your new car !
Video is pointless if you doing any business you want to dress appropriate,,, don't dress like you are homeless to go to a mercedes dealership
i went to aston martin and they let me sit in 2 aston martins and 1 audi r8 and a nissan gtr. i wast planning on buying a car, i wore dark blue jeans, a nice shirt and a casual blazer. plus ive seen situations before when a guy who wears jeans and a t-shirt goes asks to look at a lambo or supercar they dont plan on buying and the sales man comes and askes them if they are ok and then starts talking to them, the customer will go home feeling happy and might find the website and place a good review on the site so other ppl can see how good the business is.
Don't know where you're from... but.

$70,900. How did it "almost" cost around $200,000 ??
I think that the problem was not the appearance of the guy but the kind of dealership. So if you watch the video you can see that the first place is more of a "not intended for an expensive car buyer" type of dealership, also the dealer wasn't with an as good looking uniform like the one the second dealer had so you could tell that in that place you wouldn't get a great customer service. Then the second place was a better held place, with the glass shining and a good lighting. Also the crew was all uniformed, so you would anticipate a great customer service. The appearance of the guy doesn't prove anything, many billionaires dress casual and own the best cars out there.
"What do you need it for?" Hahaha... He seriously asked that.
Once at VW/Audi dealership in Norway i waited for the dealer. When the dealer was ready to help me a couple dressed rich came in the door, the dealer looked at them, then me and he went helping them.
So i went to an other dealer buying a new car.
Adios VAG 😂
Lol I always go to my Porsche dealership wearing gym clothes. They still send me invites to all the events, which of course I would dress appropriately for. But they don't turn the service down just because I'm wearing my gym clothes. I still get treated with utmost respect from all of them, and they let me pretty much take a look at what ever I want. Just depends on your dealer and how nice they are I guess.
This is awesome. Here in Nashville, everyone is casual.. you never know who you are talking to..
If I go to a car dealer I go there to drink the warm chocolate, and the warm chocolate only!
Dealers aint messing with no cheapo, they looking to win that Hawaii trip at the end of the month.
It doesn't matter how he dress up. The way he talks is the key to not take seriously what he wants.
Unfortunately that is society. It's disgusting, how people judge you the way you are dressed, the way you hold yourself and the way you talk. You should get the same service regardless if you are in casual or formal wear. How unprofessional was the first sales guy. Asking you "what do you need the car for?" and "how much do you think the car is for sale?". It's the sales person, who should sell the car to you. I look forward to see your other social experiments. Thank you for sharing :)
when I went to buy my BMW I walked the dealership for about 30 min. I was also dressed casual, finally someone came up to me and he was awesome. when I went to sign the paperwork the two salesmen that walked past me without offering help were standing at the doorway.
If a salesman put me down and asked "used?" or "do you know how much that costs?" I would definitely cause a scene, talk to a manager, and write out a check for whatever Mercedes I wanted to get and rub it in the guy's face. lol
Why the hell would an independent person that has enough brains to make money just walk into a Mercedes dealership without even googling the price of the car he wants?
To be fair, I'm not saying that the first car salesman was right by any means, but he didn't really care because he knew you wouldn't buy it and he was correct.
I was with my friend when he bought his C63 AMG and we went with "normal" clothes... They treated him normally. They even let us check out other Mercedes while we were waiting.
I went to Mercendes centre wearing cheap clothing store and bought a S class 400 today.
Despite my clothings the salesperson still offer me good service so I bought a S class.
"this is a very luxurious cars" lol
