This is not how to get customers

There is a list of things that really make me angry. Near the top of the list is dents or scratches on my car. The first week I had my new car, I was parked behind the University Police Department and someone hit the car. I was absolutely livid. They didn’t even leave a note or anything.

Anyway, today the Consumerist had a story about a man whose wife went to Wal-Mart in Las Vegas. When she came out she found a note on her windshield, handwritten, that said “Please call me about your car” and there was a number left on the paper.

Well, it was simply an awful way to get the woman to try to trade in her car for a new Dodge or Chrysler.

This is just an awful way to attempt to bring in new customers. If I got a flyer on my car that said that and it turned out to be just a way to advertise, I would never go to that dealership.
