Slackers... in the car business you either eat at your desk or take lunch around 2:00 pm.

Too many customers stop by the dealership during their lunch break - so adjust yours to suit the market.
Then maybe he was with a customer. Dunno. He's the sales manager.

try and stick with one company so you get the most points.

for example, out of DC area... Use United. They are usually the cheapest for short time fares.

and hotels? Hilton or Marriot. and try to pick one and stay with it. (I mean all their branded hotels, like hilton= hampton, embasy suites, etc)

your company is paying for all the traveling right?

just make sure you get all the mileage and hotel points cards.



also, another advantage to keeping to one brand... is you get automatic percs for free...

Like im a hilton platnum member so I get free internet, movies, water etc. and same as a marriot gold member.

and as a preffered united traveler I get upgraded to the bigger seats for free most of the time

Sweet, George.

As for the shirt, I needed a long sleeve, collared shirt to keep as many flying molten steel pieces off me as possible. Trust me, it was hot as snot Sunday. Last thing i wanted to wear was a long-sleeved shirt.

but you have to weigh in other variables as well... like-

Jet Blue and Frontier airlines have free directtv on thier flights.

Regional airlines deffinatly have the youngest hottest flight attendents... (along with continental airlines for some reason)


I weight in all these variables before booking a flight... my head starts to hurt after a while

Hm - an actual buffet, where you walk in and then just pick the food off a tray? Or the good buffet where they give you a menu, choose what you want, eat it, then they bring you another menu?
