If you actually think the store manager went back, dug through the video tapes, or, even less likely, interrupted the curren tape to rewind it, then you probably think car salesmen are actually talking to the boss when they say "Let me run this deal past the boss." There may have been a tape. It may or may not have shown anything about your transaction. But when they said they had "checked the tape" and found the store was in the right, they were shining you on. And it worked. You left. Then you fumed. Then it was too late. --Tim May
