Ah, but when the salesperson does that, he'll be accused of being pushy.
People are demanding to get guns at pennies over wholesale. Dealers have to do what they can to meet that expectation, and margins (not to mention profit) collapse. They can't afford to pay the wages that attract, say, jewelry salespeople. It just can't happen.
Even the dealers who provide the best training and service go on the internet and see people lambasting them because the new guy at the counter doesn't know the difference between 7mm WSM and 7mm-08 and OMG what a clueless bozo he should be fired he doesn't know anything. It doesn't exactly warm the heart.
It's like the Wal Mart gripe threads: by this math, something's gotta give.
