In the same vain:
I went to look at SUVs in 1989 at a dealership in Smithfield RI. It had snowed so, naturally I had on jeans, boots and an old mackinaw. Young salesguy looked at me and said "I'm not dusting off the snow for you. You can't afford one anyway".
I left, went down the road and bought a new 1990 Chevy and paid cash for it.
I went back to the Smithfield dealership and asked for the manager, showed him the new Blazer and told him the story.
I don't know what happened to the salesguy but the lesson is never judge a book by its cover.
