While I totally get that the internet loves to hate dealers, that salesperson is a person too.

Well my point was salespeople are there to sell cars, and part of their job is to show cars. They know that you're not necessarily going to buy the car you test drive, and they are there all day to show cars in the homes that someone does buy the car. Private sellers, while they're somewhat obliged to put time into showing their car if they have any hopes of selling, they are not employed 8 hours a day by a dealer to do so. In my mind there's a difference
