The two arrived at the BMW showroom. From a distance, the receptionist saw them getting out of a taxi and shouted to the sales inside, "Two customers are here!"
A few salespeople didn't expect customers to come at this time, so they all got up. One of them asked, "How did they come?"
"Taxi!" the receptionist replied.
Immediately, two salespeople stopped in their tracks. They sell cars all day, and even though they might not sell one for days, selling just one brings in a good commission. Their salary, bonuses, and commissions together become quite substantial. Over time, they developed a bad habit of judging potential customers by their appearances. These two were veterans in the showroom, and upon hearing the customers came by taxi, they lost interest and turned back.
