No Free Rides

I used to work at General Motors Financial as an account representative. Basically, I would talk to customers about their car payment, try to assist them if they were behind, or just accept payments from them.

A lady called in, and after I said my usual opening statement, thanking them for calling us:

Me: “So, how may I assist you today?”

Caller: “Are you giving away free cars?”

Really giving her the benefit of the doubt here:

Me: “Do you mean zero upfront payment?”

Caller: “No, like zero any payment. No payments ever.”

Me: “Oh, so like, free free.”

Caller: “Yeah!”

Me: “Uh… no. Sadly, General Motors is currently unable to support that business model.”

Caller: “Ah, d***. You too, huh? Do you know anyone who does?”

It was a miracle that I didn’t explode with laughter until after the call ended.
