My moral dilemma is thus:
Yesterday I phoned up a car showroom to enquire about a couple of cars they had with a view to going to see them on saturday. The guy said he would call me back with some more info, but didn't. Last night me and mrs al talked about the cars and decided that actually we didn't want that type of car and would instead go and see a different car at a different showroom if it's still there.

I think he just tried to call me, but I don't like taking calls from "Private Number" so I ignored it. Should I take the inevitable follow up call and tell him I'm not coming, or just keep ignoring him until he dies from starvation because he didn't sell any cars.

ignore him
he's a salesman, they don't have souls.

Take the call.
You never know when you might change your mind back again, or come across the same guy. Or even be that guy.

Karma's a bitch.

I would never be a salesman.
I'm terrible at talking to people.

Me neither, I hate the fact that your livelihood depends on upselling to people, when they'd do just fine at the base level.

But you just said you're in investment banking
your livelihood depends on screwing people over.

True - but I'm not on commission :)
