-If you were smart, you would have called the part in.
-If there wasn't any business, why would they keep the store open another seven minutes for a potential walk-in.
-You could have waited one more day for a window part. It's not dire.
-It's no reason to boycott an entire chain. It's management's "fault."

I've worked retail before so I understand the desire to say, "**** it, let's go" but if you're not willing to work the hours you're supposed to, DON'T work there. Go find a job that lets you get off at 8:53pm or earlier.

About boycotting Autozone over this, I think that's going too far. Complain to their HQ, yes. Boycott, nah. But if you don't ever go back to that same store again, I wouldn't blame you. I'd be pissed too if I drove 20min to go somewhere that should be open just to have to turn right back around.
I wasnt serious about boycotting. I just needed a good verb to display my disapproval. HAHAHAH but thanks anyway.

last minute shopping? That's not the point. The point is I was told to come down as he would wait for me, and they closed at 9pm. When I arrived before 9pm and they closed, that's what pissed me off. The fact that I needed it at the last minute is irrelevant as it was still before the scheduled closing time.

I'll get it, but I'm going to Discount, and it'll be a few days before it comes in. I'm glad I got a car cover in the trunk.

- I did and was told to come in.
- It's their job. If they don't like retail, they should try fast food.
- In FL with our weather, it is pretty dire.
- I didn't really mean boycott. Like I said, I needed a verb.

so in other words, you're going to wait a few more days and go somewhere else just because they closed early? if it wasn't such a big deal that you could wait a few MORE days then why are you bitching about having to wait until the next morning? get a life.

Im going to wait a few more days because I recieved better customer service from the other company. You tell me to get a life? You seem like the kind of person who just bends over and takes what the world gives to him in the ass.

cause i'll be the one laughing, watching you strain to open your passenger side window. :chuckles:

any mechanical system is bound to go wrong with wear. but for the convienence, it's well worth it

*** next time: ask for the EMPLOYEE'S NAME!!! thats always a must.***

I'm also ashamed of our piss poor work ethics in retail. number of work hours in a week DON'T equate to quality. part time or full time, i've seen many half-assers that don't give a damn about customers and their workmanship. :nono: :slap:

they SHOULD stay open an extra 5-10 mins anyway.
