Ever just wanted to vent? Well here's were *I* get to do it.
So what is up with the Auto Zone?
Thursday, July 01, 2004
Auto Zone’s motto should be: “Women, don’t bother coming in here because we *know* you haven’t got a clue about cars!” Grrrrrrrrr.
Apparently, if you’re a woman and don’t know exactly EVERYTHING about the piece of equipment you are purchasing, the guy that works there will assume that you are a brain dead jelly fish when it comes to anything mechanical and proceed to patronize you with his uber simplified explanations. “This is a car. You put new things on it when they break.”
I mean, i know that i’m not the most knowledgeable person alive when it comes to cars, but come on! I can tell when i have the wrong size windshield wiper WHEN THEY OVERLAP EACH OTHER AND CAN’T MOVE! The guy, after giving me this scathing look of skepticism, actually had to come out and examine the car after i told him that he gave me the wrong size of wiper.
“See look,” i said. “They overlap.”
“Who told you that?”
“Um, i can just tell by looking at it. They won’t move like this.” I begin to flush.
Finally he gets me the right size, still treating my like i’m mentally handicapped.
Can’t stand patronizing car guys.
