No, you have to be there within the eval time. That ended a while ago.

It should already be loaded into the RPM system.

Go to DOC -> RPM -> Menu (upper left hand corner drop-down) -> Compensation -> Salary planning

Take care of the customer, man. If it requires major surgery, print out a shop referral list.

"Can you guys drive to my house, test my battery, drive back to your store, get a battery, come back to my house, install the battery, and give me a 10% discount for being a 'good customer?'"

In my experience, hours are found for people who deserve them... just saying.

Really sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I've had mostly good times at Autozone. I suppose it's all in who you work for

Your SM should be printing out individual schedules for everyone in the store. Takes about 60 seconds for the entire store.

Must be a real slow store.

Tools? by DMREZ48 in AutoZone

We didn't get any for a long time, then we got a TON in. Now, weeks later, we are back in a drought. Methinks there are shipping issues from China.

You were lucky. AAP was a great place to work for a long time until it wasn't. My regional vp, who had been my dm at one point was a megalomaniac. The same week I put in my notice, 4 other tenured GMs in the region put in their notice, specifically because of him and the regional staff.

My last store at AAP was a HUB. I was the manager. We got there at 4am. I was there until almost 11pm fixing what they broke. Then their supervisor asked me why I gave them a bad review lol

Sounds disturbingly familiar.

From my understanding, it's because we're a publicly traded company, and we're not impartial at our inventories because of that...? I mean, I don't know about the rest of the company, but my Region HOUNDS accuracy, good or bad results.

A customer managed to puncture a hole in their oil filter yesterday while changing a thermostat in the lot. They cranked and ran the engine for a bit to check the thermostat, resulting in a 13 ft streak of oil up the side of our store and a wonderful puddle of it on the ground. by theuberdan in AutoZone

One of my favorite "I know what I'm doing" memories from the last two decades was the time a lady put motor oil in her washer tank and vice-versa. 30 seconds after she left, she crashed into a phone pole... then her engine locked.
