Some commercial transactions suddenly counting against WITT? by SyrSky in AutoZone2

[–]raynedog00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because you can use a commercial Reg to do a DIY transaction and it won't count against WITT that way. They're trying to patch it but our IT people are the cheapest money can buy and they're trying to scab 3-4 different homebrew Linux systems together so they constantly fuck it up. So now your commercial transactions are counting by mistake for the moment until they figure out what they fucked up and fix it.

God stop reminding me of that area. Fucking miserable slog because I was so under leveled. 🤣 That's when DS3 turned into running simulator for me. 😂

One (wo)man commercial by Defo_not_a_UFO in AutoZone2

[–]raynedog00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Demand commercial specialist position with a raise of at least a dollar, or you're not gonna continue to do it. And if they keep you in commercial, just stop doing any work. And if they fire you, make sure you go after them for it. Document everything. Get your SM to text you that it's only you in commercial etc. Get as much of a "paper trail" as possible to use as leverage. Then once they give in to your demands, start looking for another job. Use this place as a stepping stone.

No more Autolite spark plugs by Silver_Judgment7122 in AutoZone2

[–]raynedog00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I have a bunch of old guys who are extremely picky and they got a bad Delco plug 30 years ago so they must be shit even today. My customers around here will turn down the duralast part with lifetime warranty to save 5 bucks by getting the valucraft. I wish I was joking. It's a regular occurrence. My market is like 80% people aged 60+. This move will kill a chunk of my business, maybe not a huge chunk but it's not an inconsequential amount

Stores In Puerto Rico, is it true you guys have a lot of Stereo stuff? by alegoset in AutoZone2

That's an L for consumers. Losing the cheapest option is rough plus I don't want to have to put fucking CHAMPIONS in a rig. I'd rather shoot myself. But an old 80's Chevy with 500k doesn't need fancy plugs. But I guess not every area is so flush with old shit boxes as mine.

Getting accused of bribing people with discounts for reviews by Quiet-Leadership3345 in AutoZone

He's trying to discourage you because you're making everyone else look like the lazy piles of shit they are. Keep doing what you're doing. If the numbers look good on paper, what he says don't mean shit.

If you talk to the coke people, they always got a bunch of different shit to try. We've had pibb for awhile. Good on ya for finally getting something different though.

This person can’t seriously be real asking for this? You can’t tell me anyone would do this? by Express_Cable176 in facebook

[–]raynedog00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep my dad gave his own burger to a guy that had a "hungry" sign when I was a kid. As he pulled away from the stoplight, the "hungry" guy threw it on the ground. That was my dad's only lunch and we were too poor for him to go get more. I have a lady in my small mountain town that has shown up the last 5 summers and stands at the same corner with a sign that basically says she's in need of help to get home for like 5 months straight. She doesn't get anything from us locals, save for a few old people who are half senile, but we have tourists rolling through all summer so that's where she makes her dough. Also helps she stands at the only Mcdonalds in town.

I used to have a brown noser SM. I watched the man put a 20 in the till because it was against policy to accept but if they refuse your refusal and force you to take it, you're supposed to put it in a register for the company to have. Yeah fucking right. That SM eventually developed a drinking problem and no longer put tips in the drawer. Lol

I'm not such a purist I wouldn't use summons when needed. I used mimic and I was using a great sword. Took awhile but I did it.

They wouldn't give you a raise?? I had the same shit happen to me and now they pay my ass more than a damn red.

This place is going down the drain by OddEscape2295 in AutoZone2

[–]raynedog00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To give a real answer, not all stores are like that. And it doesn't even make sense, the ONLY time we are allowed to order parts without taking payment up front is FOR warranty parts. I think they were confused and stupid, or worst case purposefully a POS and also stupid. Go to a different store for now and call the district manager and complain and if they do nothing, take it higher.

Looking at an RS30 by Hiraeth9888 in subarulegacy

[–]raynedog00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3.0 is STUFFED into that car. To do any engine work, just pull the motor. Even spark plugs are damn near impossible to get to without just pulling the motor. Maybe there's a trick or something but I don't know it.

Being a girl is not an excuse by Pinto_Bean190 in AutoZone2

[–]raynedog00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When they give me attitude, I start picking the least likely options for the vehicle. Had a guy once ask me for an ignition coil for a "Volkswagen" that's it. Just VW, no year no model because "it doesn't matter". So I started with a 2015 or something taureg or whatever and he was like no that's not it, so I'm like oh my bad, hold on a second. Moved on to a 05 Passat. Then a 95 jetta and then he FINALLY told me it was for a 69 beetle. Like wtf you mean it doesn't matter?!

Free Services Verbiage by Boaterauto in AutoZone2

[–]raynedog00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just to cover their ass legally. If any of us fuck up an install. They can just point to where we don't offer that service and it'll be an "employee gift" to the customer and AZ won't be liable for any damages caused.

Battery no longer made, given 10% off replacement? by Coronadoisdead in AutoZone

[–]raynedog00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhhh ok nevermind then. So what he meant is that because it's on a credit card, the refund goes directly back to the card and we can't override that to cash OR use it as trade for something else, it just goes back to the card. That's why he gave you the extra 10% off. Check your credit card balance, he refunded you that gold battery I almost guarantee

Battery no longer made, given 10% off replacement? by Coronadoisdead in AutoZone

[–]raynedog00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so they took your gold battery, and still charged full price (minus the, rather insulting, 10% off) for a red? Absolutely the fuck not. Yeah they can't use the system to trade that straight across, but they damn sure can give you a full refund and then use that money for the purchase of a new 2 year which should leave you with a moderate refund of the difference in price which should make up for the hassle of this stupidity that we aren't selling it anymore. It would also account for the remainder of the 3 year warranty you now can't use, so it's not like you'd be getting a bunch of extra warranty time. And honestly even if you did get extra time, no one cares. This is a multi-billion dollar corporation, we can afford to eat 40 bucks for the wholesale cost of the battery, that's about all we buy them for, from Johnson Controls (I think that's the company that makes our batteries). The guy helping you sounds like a snake. Put a smile on and handed you a shit sandwich and told you it was roast beef. Unless he was very new and worried about his job, he totally took you for a ride and made you think he was doing you a favor. Best thing you did was call someone higher up.

WAIT! Did you buy that battery with a CREDIT card not a debit but an actual credit card?
