It is your choice to work with the Salesman of your choice. If the first one that walks up to you doesn't know his stuff, then talk to someone else.
If I have a bad experience with someone in a service oriented trade, I will ask to deal with someone else. This is only as hard as you make it.
No one is forcing you to deal with a tool.
When I bought my STi in 03 the Salesman was such an idiot, I bypassed her and only dealt with the Sales Mgr and Finance Mgr.
I know that y'all got a lot of hate and stigma for us and this will fall on deaf ears. But here's a great video showing our(my) daily life.

I completely understand and agree that sales are hard, and I may be antisocial, but I would much prefer to purchase my vehicle from a vending machine with a guy that hands me a key to test drive it first. I mean no offense, but car salesman are in the same boat as travel agents these days. They're just becoming unnecessary as the younger generation grows up. There's literally no information a car salesman can provide me that Google cannot. A salesman, at his or her core, is in the business of information. You inform me so that I feel I am making an appropriate purchase, but there's simply no way a salesman can compete with the internet.
I recently helped my mother purchase a vehicle, and I think this is a big generational gap, but she had no idea what she wanted to buy. She was going to different dealership to be informed. I don't know of this occurring in anyone under 35--we already know all the specs on the vehicle, we just want the best price and a salesman is seen as an obstacle while they grimace and wince and do the "you're really bustin' my balls here Gen, but let me go talk to the big man. I can't really cut it that low without his sign off". I already know what the invoice is. I know what your holdback is. I know how much volume you do.
