Are car dealers evil and factory stores are like Disneyland?


I find it funny how people love how Tesla takes away shopper's choice... Comcast and Verizon come to mind.  Dealing with these monoliths is nothing like Tesla and Apple.


2 weeks ago, I watched my sister-in-law fight with Verizon for an hour trying to get a small & logical change to the package.  Listening to her frustration, I knew the Verizon factory store structure kept it's staff from caring about her needs.  If Verizon stores had a car-dealer-like store structure, the local store owner would have been given the authority to be flexible with customer's needs (i.e. negotiate as needed)
