    This was while he was the owner of Walmart,,,,
    I have a similar story. A Guy in my hometown is a custom home builder. Likely, he is the wealthiest man in town. He works for his money.. none of that "point fingers and sit back and let everyone else do the work" even though he could do that- just isn't the kind of guy he is.

    One day he strolled into a Mercedes dealership to purchase a car.. the young and naive salesman basically said he couldn't help him. The guy got so P.O.'d that he went down the street to the Jaguar Dealership and bought 2 Jags.. in Cash. Once the cars were polished and ready to be delivered he hooked his equipment trailer to his dually and loaded both Jags onto the trailer.



    He then went down the street and pulled into the Mercedes Dealership parking lot- right out front and walked inside. He asked to talk with the owner of the dealership and his once potential salesman was on the floor. He proceeded to tell the dealer that he "Came in last week to buy a car.. but THAT guy refused to help me. So I went down the street and bought TWO new Jaguars instead!"

    The Salesman was fired ON THE SPOT!

    Gawd I love that Story!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
