i went into a Lexus dealership near my house once.. it was summer'ish, and i was wearing beat up old shorts and a t-shirt, i walked around the showroom for about 10 minutes, and all the sales people were milling around doing nothing, chatting with each other. I figured they were busy, so I made eye contact with a few of them and they pretty much ignored me.
Finally, after another 5-10 minutes of me poking through the brochures, one of the junior sales people asks if i need help. And i say that im doing research for my parents, and they were interested in the GS400..
then all of the sudden, i was the most popular person in the world. I asked a bunch of questions, and the senior salesperson comes over and asks how interested my parents are..
so i tell them, they'll probably make a purchase within the week. His eyes light up.
then i tell him, ill be going elsewhere because i wasn't important enough of a customer for them to acknowledge my existence for the first 20 minutes or so, even though i was the only person in the showroom.
his jaw dropped, and he turned to look at some of the other sales people, and i turned and walked out... pretty much ignoring him trying to hand me his business card.
and that sr sales guy went to the same church as my parents. though i didn't find out til later.

i would be excited if i found out i was able to go to Japan, then again, i should probably wait and save up some money, won't be for awhile for my next visit.
