I disagree on the timeshare pitch as a waste of time, as well as on the quality of the free room and the free food. I’ve done three of these pitches and plan to do at least two more (when my kids are the right age, I bring them along for the sales pitch after doing the numbers with them and explaining how the sales people will try to pitch the timeshare. My kids come out with an appreciation for high-pressure sales (today only or you lose the $3000 value “bonus”, and other lines that I predict). They come out with an understanding of finance, present value of money, and hidden costs. These sales vacations are among the best teaching vacations that you can take. Besides, the rooms and the amenities have always been quite nice when I have done these.
Hilarious! Guess Dave didn’t consider it as a teaching moment aspect for your kids. I can’t imagine doing it but once though....
