f**k Autozone

[Destroy]

Im just curious...so if there were black people working behind the counter at autozone, what would you have said to them?

 

[NOFX]

i go there an use s**t and then return it all the time.. That was f**ked up what he said to you but still..

btw.. they let you return almost anything.. including touch up paint, oil filter wrenches.. socket wrenches, hi-temp spray paint, meguires polish

Not the ones I've been to... I mean, you always have to have the reciept too and they don't keep it in the computer even. Advance Auto Parts... you can go in there and tell them you bought it there, doesn't matter what it is as long as they sell it. They'll take it back and refund you. You don't need a receipt, you don't need ot be kept as a record in the computer (which is normally only done with higher priced parts and warranty parts).

do you not see how you were acting like ass though.. he really was only doing what he was supposed to do.. you were asking him to do you a favor and got mad because he wouldnt do it

I used to work for Autozone... they code read for free all the time. Not only that, but why did they only have two people on staff? That RARELY happens and isn't suppoesd to happen anyway.

Not just that, but the way he acted toward mavrick could be grounds for punishment from the company. Mavrick, if I were you I'd mention it to the manager. If it was the manager, you might want to call up headquarters and mention the associate name along with what store they work in.

my advanced auto pats i work wat, we do free diagnostics.

So does Autozone. I don't know of any autoparts store that doesn't. I've worked at both Autozone and Advance Auto Parts. I found Advance to be a MUCH better company. both to work for and to be a customer of. Advance aslo has the policy of keeping ASE certified associates on staff almost at all hours.

this guy is an assistant manager or some s**t like that and he didnt have a uniform on.

Not being in uniforma while on the job is also against policy. Even wearing white socks is against policy, though many managers will look the other way if you don't have black socks.

werd.....

auto zone might suck but you weren't right to tell someone to go back to mexico.........

i guess you don't give s**t if you sounded racist because you show no remorse

I've met mavrick before, and though we definately don't share common views on a lot, he's a pretty reasonable guy. I highly doubt that he is truly racist against any group of people. In fact Jason tells me he believes mavrick might be half Mexican/Latin! I can't comment on that honestly though because I'm horrible at telling race. I describe people as "oh, he was black/tannish/very pale." I'm crappy at telling race, always have been. I remember he was more tan than I am.

I can understand how he was set off though. Here's how it woudl have goen at my previous store (Advance):

Customer: Well (autoparts store) is gay!

My boss: That's nice to hear sir. (with a sarcastic grin)

I miss my old boss... Darrell at the Dover, DE Advance Auto Parts. I think he left now though. Boo. Best boss I ever had.

He is a Employee at Autozone, And the customer (Maverick) said autozone (Store) is gay. That gives the employee no f**kin right to say s**t about US Troops. he could get fired what a pussy he should go back to mexico if he doesent appricate people fighting and or dieing for the USA.

I hate to say it, but it's true. I don't even support this war... BUT I fully support the troops. I know some peopel can't see the difference there, but just because I don't think we should be over there for this long doesn't mean I think troops should die or that troops are "gay".

I'm not saying it's a good idea to say that type of thing to a person on either side really, but it showed unprofessional actions by the employee... all it made mavrick out to be is maybe a bit of an a*****e. Lots of people go a little overboard when treated like that. It doesn't mean that you're sexist if you call the waitress a b***h though. But if the waitress calls you a b***h back, she needs to be reprimanded because her job is to serve you with a smile, not to get into a fight with you (unless you try to rape her or something dumb). If there is a problem the employee needs to get the supervisor. The supervisor shoudl be abel to take care of the situation in the most professional way possible.

he should go back to mexico if he doesent appricate people fighting and or dieing for the USA.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

[SiGSR]

What's a OBD2 tester? The code reader?

 

[CRX_dude]

they code read for free all the time.

Werd... you shoulda charged him 170 dollars for saying that us troops are gay..

I used to manage a parts store.

When someone wanted to rent a tool for like 5 minutes? f**k all that paperwork and keying in data. Take their cash or credit card and paper clip it to their ID. Stick it under my drawer.

They bring the tool back, I've got zero to process.
They don't? I run their card and fill out the rental log with the info from their card.

I Don't have time to be f**king around with a $170 in then $170 right back out transaction.

Not being in uniform while on the job is also against policy. Even wearing white socks is against policy,
.

That is the gheyest of the unnecessary ghey rules.

You know what I wore at O'Reilly?

Green button up O'Reilly shirt, Baggy work shorts or cargo shorts....as long as they had a high synthetic content...battery acid will eff up some jeans..., dirty ball cap with Honda "H" logo (I miss that hat dammit I have a Kenwood Sirius hat now ) and Vans with white socks.

Yep.

And I was the manager. None of that ghey ass psuedo military white shirt with epulets, dress slacks and shineable shoes. I mean really, who the f**k goes to an autoparts store based on whether or not the employees have dress shoes and slacks on? C'mon.


I was even more lax with my employees. I mean you wanna screw up your $75.00 JNCOs or whatever working here that's cool. As long as your working.

Hats other than O'reilly were verboten but I didn't bother enforcing a rule that I didn't obey myself

Well, I'll give my two cents, as well..

I used to be a manager of an AutoZone store, years ago..
If you bought wipers, and asked them to put them on, they'd do it. Regardless of how many "associates" are in the store. As long as there aren't waiting customers, it is policy to do this. Check codes, test charging systems, change batteries, wipers, etc..

You were wrong by lashing back, or even saying Autozone sucks out loud.. I know how you feel, but is this case, the outcome has both parties in the wrong..

Regional Mgr will hear about it, and s**t will roll downhill.. I've seen it in action..

That guy gave you the run around. The rule is there has to be ONE employee in the store at all times. I work at Autozone, we do CEL checks all the time. That guy should have helped you. Report it.
