I'm not sure where salespeople get the idea that insulting people is going to encourage people to buy something, or have confidence in whichever store they're at.
I've seen this is many instances though, though it does seem particularly rampant with car stereo and car sales for whatever reason. I typically just walk out and do it myself. Sometimes though, I get into discussions with the salespeople, asking them technical electronics questions (I have a degree in electronics), and seeing just how badly they falter and mangle the truth. Really quite humorous!
I don't understand the recommendation to get another car though - how does that make the car stereo salesperson more money? If Acuras are so much easier to work on then Saabs, wouldn't they make LESS money from labor on the stereo installation? Further, if somebody has just purchased a new car, doesn't it stand to reason they'll have less money to throw around on the stereo? Common sense is sorely lacking these days..
