Angry May a herd of AIDS infected metrosexuals...

...invade the Les Schwab store in Auburn!

On Thursday, I went in to make an appointment for Friday.
I needed 6 tires, at $160 a pop, and a front end alignment.
"How's 2pm for you?"
"Fine. I'll be here at 2pm."

Get to Les Schwab yesterday at 1:55pm & informed the assclown behind the counter that I have an appointment.

Assclown: "OK. What are we doing to your car?"
Oaf: "It's a truck."
Assclown:"Ok."
Oaf:"I need six tires & a front end alignment."
Assclown:"OK."

I hand him the keys, he passes them off to the wrench pilot who'll be working on my rig.
After seeing my rig is pulled into a stall, I grap a bag of fresh popcorn.
Mr Assclown approaches me & says "there's a problem."
Oaf: "Oh? What's up?"
Assclown:"We have another alignment scheduled for 3pm & it's gonna take 1.5 hrs to mount your tires, then 1.5 hrs for your alingment."
Annoyed Oaf: "I suggest that you call the 3pm appointment and cancel/postpone it."
Assclown: "I can't do that...they made an appointment."
Annoyed Oaf: "I have an appointment, & you just informed me that you can't do the alignment. In fact, yesterday when I came in & made the appointment, you offered me either 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, or 4pm for the alignment. You knew at that time that I was having 6 tires installed prior to the alignment. Why do I have to be inconvenienced due to your poor time management skills?"
Assclown: "What?"
Annoyed Oaf: "I'm not going to let your lack of time management skills inconvenience me. We had a contract; You would provide goods & service, I was to provide the cash. You can't perform your part of the contract & that's an inconvenience. What are you going to do about it?"
Assclown: "Umm...you can leave your truck here & pick it up tomarrow."
Annoyed Oaf: "No. How about I take my truck somewhere else?"
Assclown: "But you made an appointment..."
Annoyed Oaf: "Look, dimwit (yes, I called him a dimwit). I have an appointment for services that you just told me you can't perform...."
Assclown: " Why do you want an alignment anyway?"
Annoyed Oaf: "You just interrupted me. But to answer your question, it matters not why I want an alignment. Plus, you're a tire monkey, you know how a proper alignment increases tire life & ride quality. Just like your magical siping process improves tires grip/life."

I tell him to just mount the tires & throw the siping, which he charged me $70 for, in for free.
Assclown says he can't do that.
At this point, I wave him away, telling him that Schwab HQ will be getting a letter from me, explaining his poor performance.

****in dimwits.

I hate Les Schwab. I took my first car there when I was 16 and they can kiss my ****ing ***. I'll never go back.

I've always been very happy with Americas Tire, though they can be a PITA since they don't do alignments :|

I would have beat his *** Oaf. You're white, you could have gotten away with it.

Did you get to speak to any managers??

les schwab sucks!!

I ordered some tires from them. they told me it would take 3 days to get the tires there so i made an appointment to bring my car back at a later time. I though this store was cool because one of their employees drives a white sti. a day later i got a call telling me that they cannot get the tires for a month. So i called different tire retailer, they have them in stock and made an appointment. Within two hours of that call i had new tires and 80.00 cheaper in price than les schwab.

Have you written the letter yet, Paul? Be sure to go with the "my time is money" routine. Works everytime for me.
