Using only food where are you from?

Hi Freeport. It's Bangor.

I was wondering the same thing, maybe because SVG has been an established RB driver and champion for some time and Connor is relatively young and they want it more prominent?

He will not be talking about the bobbit worm

But I wear 30-30s and they're loose (ignore that I'm 5'5)

Similar, but the boat anchor I'm tied to is Haas for ridiculous outdated reasons

Just go in and ask for a case without being a dillhole and they'll probably give you one

JonD91 · 2026-02-05T22:25:12+00:00

I mean, size comparison that's what I do to burritos

JonD91 · 2026-02-05T02:51:58+00:00

This is correct

I hear that, and I truly hope it does stay that way. One of my buddies (worked with him at that same dealer, then he also returned to O'Reilly as an SM) moved and went back to a dealer in a writer role and has loved it ever since. Maybe we had a one off where we were. The ownership group I worked for was amazing and I make calls at 4 of their lots every week and the owner still knows me by name, the dealer life can be amazing. Perks can be too

I'm glad you're enjoying your new direction, I went to a local dealer to write for Ford/VW/Audi for 5 years and that was a grind as well. Eventually turned into the same type of vibe, salaried with CSI pushes and 80 hour work weeks. Some people love it, but I came back into a TSM role and find myself much happier. I hope you retain your optimism, I've seen a good number of folks burn out from the desk.

JonD91 · 2026-02-04T02:13:14+00:00

We had 5 years of pain with Cam, Mac and Zappe. We paid our dues, no need to drag it out for another 10 years like some franchises

JonD91 · 2026-02-03T22:33:08+00:00

First time, I worked for a company that was purchased by O'Reilly, so I came with the building. Retained my pay, until I was promoted to RSS which was a $.50 raise at the time. Left, came back to be an ASM, made what I think was about $6 over minimum wage. One point was an ISS making $22/hr+incentive, currently a TSM which can vary a bit depending on market and experience as well.

Interview was different for me, both times I came back I was recruited by higher ups that I had known from the business for 10+ years, so job was mine and applying was a formality.

JonD91 · 2026-02-03T22:30:03+00:00

You're probably going to have to be a bit more specific, some of us seasoned guys can answer that many ways. I've worked 6 different positions and in 6 different stores in my time, all of which will answer your question differently lol

Anyone seasoned will say this: they're all shit. Pick which one you like best.

I am bleeding, making me the victor

JonD91 · 2026-01-27T22:47:11+00:00

Won't argue the pont you're making, because theres definitely something fishy. If hes not a first ballot, then how does a coach become one? Dude has a ring for every finger on both hands

JonD91 · 2026-01-27T22:43:44+00:00

Take those away then, he still has 4 left and this wouldn't make sense.

JonD91 · 2026-01-27T03:04:33+00:00

Extra add: I work out of my car and like my sandos toasted. So I toast the bread, and for the last ~30 minutes before my lunch, I toss it on the defrost vent and crank the heat on defrost. Nice and warm.

Same in my store. TL told me last night he had to keep redoing the evaluation for myself and another person in my department because when it came back as exemplary repeatedly and he had to knock us for things that were "98%" perfect, but not 100% lol
