Funny you should say that. I was in Power Ford Castle Hill yesterday looking at the Rangers in the lot and had 2 salesman walk out of the showroom and stand and chat not 10m from me. No eye contact, no do you need a hand, no nothing. I would of thought in this climate I would be beating them off with a stick. Yes I could have approached them but didn’t need their help really. Not a whinge just an observation.
