It's a salesman's whole freaking *job* is be a professional liar!
Poor salesmen are liars. But the really, really good ones are ones who are able to match up what a customer needs with the right product for him. There, he is providing a valuable service to the customer.
Serve the customer well like that, and you get a repeat customer. I know many salesmen who get my repeat business because of that.
The prof who taught me accounting used to sell cars. I asked him how to tell a good dealership from a bad one. He told me the good ones have been in business for more than 5 years, because by then one has run out of new suckers and is relying on repeat business.
But then again, slots and video poker aren't exactly my thing anyway. I'm from the 80's: If I plunk coins into a machine I expect to get food, beverage, clean laundry, or *actual gameplay*. Repeatedly purchasing the message "You loose" while the entire building itself is treating me like a complete brain-dead idiot isn't exactly my idea of "addictive".
I found gambling to be a painful experience, not entertaining at all.
