Like a two year old.

Why would you expect something for free? Seems you have a jacket and and oil change for your money. People drop that much money all the time for items and not cry like a bitch about it. You knew the prices prior to paying. If you weren't happy with them you shouldn't have bought them. The nerve of the place.... wanting money for something they're selling. Didn't they know you were someone special?

I give up. What is a dealership poker chip and, I agree, you made a fool of yourself for a dollar?

I bet you were the topic of conversation around the lunch table. Plus I don't think it's the sales clerk's job to give away free stuff.

You were that kid that threw a tantrum in the toy store growing up, weren't you?

To be fair to the rest of us, you should reveal the name of this dealership so in the future nobody goes there expecting freebies.

(please insert sarcasm emoticon here)

Ok, I gotta ask too, what is a dealership poker chip and what in the hell is it used for?

I've never heard of this...

Was there a lot party? The local dealership here is having one this weekend, giving away collector's poker chips for the first 21 people who enter. Other than that I've never heard or seen any poker chips at the dealer.

Exactly what it sounds like. A poker chip with the dealer name and/or logo on it. Some people collect them from the various places they visit HD dealers.

I can't imagine throwing a fit over not getting free merchandise though, since every store I've seen them in has a price tag/sign right there.

What is the cost threshold of what we should expect to be given for free? $1? $10? $100?
