I can't picture how thankless a job it is when every customer thinks they are somehow special.
I wrote a fucking long ass essay reply, but who in the crazy mind wanna read it. I’ll keep it simple, I asked specific color & trim, if not available I want to order one & willing to wait. It is “stupid” when they CAN order (might take fucking long time), instead give me alternative options that I don’t want. Dealership got nothing on thankless job. Go to local library or bookstore and thank shelvers for their job. They go through more shit show than dealership reps ever will.

Edit:
Look it this way. When you were looking for Hakone Edi, sales reps keep sending you a message telling you Camry is available or Neptune color is close to Hakone. Even then, you can tell yourself they’re trying to be nice & giving you an alternative option?
