I think you are beginning to see the tip of my ever-so-cold-iceberg that
is Cable Motors... (Somebody tell the guy playing the kaliope to stop
already!)

They are so worried about being taken advantage of by the customer, that
they take advantage of the customer!

That, and you would have to meet this guy. He weighs 160 with two gallons
of water in his hands. He can light a cigarette as soon as he exits to
building to get a car, and has it done before he -gets- to the car. While
there he consumes nothing but snickers and coffee. If he is waling, he is
whistling, -with-no-rhythm. And he cannot stand still, and wait. He will
look at you, and adjust his stance while still looking at you like a bird
would do. I have never met anything like some of the people that work here.
Irony does not begin to explain the madness...
