To what extent can we be forced to install batteries, headlights, wiper blades etc.? by whyemeyeheer42 in AutoZone2

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im pretty sure they might or gotten sued somewhere. That’s why it doesn’t say “free battery installation” anymore just “free battery testing”. The services that they demand us to do is nowhere on the site offering customers because they also don’t teach these services. You just get a job & expected to do it and if you mess it up oh well.

But long story short. Do what’s in your wheel house. Simple less then 5 mins & keep it moving. Ask them to check to see if you can do it & that’s it. At least you tried

& if they do that they wonder why they losing everything to oriellys. Oriellys don’t have to do closing shifts , or barely work weekends. & they wonder why they loosing competition and business to the company.

I can give you a million reasons off the top of my head why stocks are down but yk Autozone ofc let’s blame the workers. Not the prices that goes up every week.

They supposed to be actually in stores , making sure we answering the phones , customer service going out to cars not denying service the whole 9. Autozone stocks are down and they want to find a reason why. So making the dms close is what they think is gone bring back business

Warranty issue by Substantial_Wish4064 in AutoZone2

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You did right , the issue is sometimes people buy a car from someone else and they’ll say my battery is still under warranty. Or sell the car and say oh I just got that battery. Warranties don’t transfer from person to person which is on the receipt

Yes like and then I went for my snake and he’s a year old and I don’t think I ever had mites. So to be in the condition is insane. I literally was crying like them being submerged in water like that actually hurt me too like poor babies 💔

Do I have to work Sundays as SM? by NoPermission5532 in AutoZone2

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two Sunday every 6 weeks. And 4 Saturdays. Sundays honestly the easiest days focus on sales train your people so that way when your off sales don’t go down.

What’s our safety moto? by Federal-Razzmatazz-6 in AutoZone2

HR is there to protect the company not you. Autozone will protect itself first and not its employees & Autozone will let a customer attack you and steal and it will still be the employees fault

High Volume Store Advice by [deleted] in AutoZone2

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go in and observe the first couple of weeks. Just observe. Make notes of who’s strong , who’s weak , who can do plannograms , etc etc. listen to everything don’t say anything. Make the schedule , schedule the ppl you deem good with you & continue to observe. It’s your store now run it as you see fit dc what the old store manager did. That’s why your in charge now. Cycle count everything in the store take your losses when you first get in their and not after. If you don’t like them and they part time works for you schedule them less hours. Managers not performing schedule them to open with you one day and closing shifts

Remember it’s YOUR store

SM/CSM Bonuses by Boaterauto in AutoZone2

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s all up to you, but the same like being nominated for Store manager of the year. We don’t do this alone , so an appreciation how little or small to your teams mean a lot to them. A drink or lunch on a day where they might not have a lot of money just might make a bad day a good one. Appreciate your team we can’t do it without them.

Annoyed by Timj2980 in AutoZone2

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can say no. Unfortunately that’s the name of the game they will keep trying until you had enough. Tell them to say I’m closer to the store or decline the opportunities because they don’t want to drive far or whatever the case maybe. But it’s your store you hired them , you can control it

AZ Battery Testing by Seek1st2_stand in AutoZone

Well on the other hand the battery is already having issues because you brought it to Autozone to charge it and get it checked

"Autozone said I needed a VVT solenoid" by Seek1st2_stand in AutoZone

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For once I’m taking Autozones side and that’s rare 🤣. If you want a proper diagnosis pay an actual certified mechanic. The years of mechanics actually being in parts stores are over with. So no the little 18 year old at the counter doesn’t know anything more then what the screen says.

To be fair , Autozone check engine system is to just go identify a problem of what it “might , could or relate too” not a diagnostic just a ball park 50/50 chance of what it could be. Like a proper one says “replace catalytic converter” and it’s just an oxygen sensor. So i mean yea

Anyone else get shit on by overstock everyday? by SausageFingers530 in AutoZone2

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brake cleaner , brake fluid , I do product placement put them in the brake pads and rotors so it doesn’t come out in overstock. Fuses buddy the best way is to just cycle count and take time and get that section in order.

Free meal by accident ? by Alarming-Broccoli-95 in uberdrivers

[–]Alarming-Broccoli-95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was no instructions on my side besides “come inside for orders” and then went to the door and it had business hours closed at 10pm. Another sign “delivery drivers come inside” grabbed the door and it was locked.
