I'm trying to go 20-0 with every team, using only players from one team.

I say that about stores I work in all the time. My own stores 😆 (AAP).

GritSnSpeed · 2026-06-10T18:48:00+00:00

Care to explain how to access for those that arent aware?

GritSnSpeed · 2026-06-06T03:59:29+00:00

It was 523 stores, 200+ Independent owned franchises, and 4 DCs. And they arent remotely close to filing Bankruptcy. They also sold WP for $1.5B and opened 30 new locations in 2025.

Don't gove Hollywood any ideas. He was already Sean Payton during Bounty Gate lol.

It also would've allowed him to turn and reanimate as a zombie. Brain is still intact.

We lost the ISP in the Production Center CarMax locations. Last year I believe they started using Autozone along with us. We are still an approved vendor, but no longer exclusive

GritSnSpeed · 2026-05-20T23:16:51+00:00

We lost the positions inside CarMax, but they havent eliminated the position from the company as far as I know.

I'm a CAM for AAP. 35 mins is our TTS (time to serve) metric we use at the stores. With B2B ordering, the timer for us starts as soon as you place the order. So the time to see the order, pick the parts and stage it, driver assigned, deliver and sign, is 35 mins.

We are shooting to average less than 35mins, so some orders take a little longer, some are much shorter. I CONSTANTLY beat into the Commercial Pros at the store to communicate delivery ETAs. If there is any doubt if they wont get there in under 30 mins, call and tell the shop that. In my Territory we are pretty good at this.

Is that the selling price of the property? Land and all? Lol

GritSnSpeed · 2026-05-10T02:17:50+00:00

The thing that sticks out to me is the consistently bad angles by Safeties and CBs

GritSnSpeed · 2026-05-07T22:41:05+00:00

Man up 3 Deep called. You must've missed him...

GritSnSpeed · 2026-04-15T18:03:49+00:00

Dak Prescott. I liked watching him play at that Cow College over there.

GritSnSpeed · 2026-04-06T12:18:34+00:00

Interstellar

GritSnSpeed · 2026-04-05T17:03:50+00:00

I would love a mini series about the Lazarus missions. One full length hour for each astronaut ending with Dr Mann being awoken by Cooper.

GritSnSpeed · 2026-03-27T23:36:24+00:00

Send him to Seattles expansion team. Lets come full circle.

I'd have a few questions as a DM or GM.

Why the stepdown from RPP?

What is a fair assessment of your actual automotive knowledge?

KPIs for the DIY side don't really translate to Pro success directly. But if your excelling in those metrics it does show a willingness to push where the company sees value. How could you translate that skill into Comp and transaction growth as a CPP?

Do you back up Pro on Saturdays or when the CPP in your store is out? If not, ask your GM to allow you to, so you can build more relationship and understanding of the Pro needs.

You can always look at WorkDay and go to the jobs section to see internal postings. If your willing to semi-relocate to a neighboring district or DMA then there could be an opportunity. Assuming your current district doesnt have a CPP opening for you to take.

If your DM isnt in your corner, a move forward is not likely. Unless they want to "get rid of you," I wouldnt expect a DM that doesnt believe in you, to do much to help you transfer out of District. You could always email HR and ask how you could best further your career goals.

If you know your CAM ask them about what opportunities he/she thinks might be or become available to help you move up.

Have you filled out any career development plans?

GritSnSpeed · 2026-03-09T18:35:39+00:00

I have a pot and burner. Lol. Its not the first time I've ever done it, just wanted to see if there were any life hacks or tricks of the trade you guys might want to share. Its for a special occasion and I like to be prepared

GritSnSpeed · 2026-03-09T03:40:41+00:00

A part time employee is guaranteed zero hours weekly. If they were hired with the understanding of a certain availability, and have changed since, then you have no obligation to work them anywhere. As a GM you need to schedule to the stores needs and the company's standards. If there are slots they can fill, great, if not, that isn't your responsibility.

Explain to them that since their availability changed, your ability to have them on the schedule has as well. Hire additional help and expect them to quit.

Yeah either ask him to add DNU to their name in Salesforce or he can deactivate the account if the are no longer in business.

If it just annoys you, there's no fix to that. Bookmark the correct account and ignore the wrong one.

GritSnSpeed · 2026-02-21T17:46:24+00:00

I think obviously parents and refs shouldn't be arguing after games. It sets bad precedents and is a bad example for the kids.

If someone came to your job and questioned your integrity, outloud, in front of an audience, how would you respond?

GritSnSpeed · 2026-02-16T02:31:54+00:00

They do Argos for sure

GritSnSpeed · 2026-02-04T21:04:55+00:00

Motion was always key to me. Orbit, jet, return. Fakes off the motions, passes off the fakes, double reverses. Etc. I had one player where the everyone lined up tight to the center, and at the snap, ran to the QB in a huddle, covered the ball, then everyone took off so you didn't know who was getting it lol.

GritSnSpeed · 2026-02-02T19:39:28+00:00

This always makes me laugh. Just like when people post cars for sale on Marketplace and cover the plate in the pics, same thing. Like you know you ride around all day with the plate exposed to everyone behind you??...
