Now previousley I stated I need both sides. She only brought back one. I told her that there are 2 motor mounts get the driver side. She then proceded to bring me back another of the same Passenger side. Now its 20 Minutes into the Store I have 2 Passenger Side Mounts and shes getting annoyed that im wasting her time. Sad part is she was the Manager.  |
There are many problems w/ the chain auto parts stores, and your situation, though pathetic, is way too common. My store has pretty sharp people, though. I have 20+ years in the biz, and we have another guy who's been around cars since Henry Ford built his first car.
And we are just part timers. One of my managers is really sharp, and he drives an 'ol Shelby Charger. And my head manager is really good, too. Even our younger people aren't idiots like most "kids" you find behind the counter. The biggest problem is the companies themselves. They don't pay worth a squat, and they offer no incentives for quality people to want to work for them. The guys at the top just want to get fatter, the store's performances are pathetic because of the people who do get hired, and the customer get poor service and get pissed off because of it. It's a f'd up cycle.
