| - This was my second time at this location. The first time I don't really remember, but I know I had been there before. Not remembering is usually a good thing. Probably had good service, didn't think anything of it... BAM - that memory goes into cold storage.
This time however, oh I'll remember.
Pull up and got out of car. My other half and I have a couple of cars. One nice, and then one a piece of crap. I was driving a piece of crap car - 2004 PT Cruiser with that wood paneling on the side. Ugly as shit, but we got it dirt cheap and for just running a lot of errands it works great and saves mileage on our better car. So maybe, this guy saw someone pulling up in a shitty car, maybe explaining why in the first 10 seconds I wanted to punch his fucking head in.
Lubetard: :"Hi, how can I help you today."
Me: "Just need the oil changed, and filter. Also, my A/C is getting a little weak. Is this something you can check?"
So far so good, right? Nothing that would turn me into a raging asshole. Plus, the only reason I asked about the A/C was because they had the fucking huge sign on the front of their building saying that they CHECKED A/C!!. But no, I was dealing with someone who clearly liked cars, but instead of getting really good at cars, and finding a specialty and working on cars and making big bucks... this guy was working at Jiffy Lube.
Lubetard: "Yeah, but we don't do it for free."
Yeah, but we don't do it for free... really? What in your little oiled brain makes you think I expected it to be free?
Me: "Well, what DO YOU do for free?" I asked.
Lubetard: "What do you mean?"
Me: "Well, if you don't check the A/C for free, then you must do some things for free, otherwise why tell me you don't check A/C for free?"
He just stars at me, dumb, expressionless.
Me: "Do yourself a favor. If someone asks you if you offer a particular service, don't let the first words coming out of your mouth be, 'Yeah, but we don't do it for free'. I kind of figured you don't offer ANYTHING for free, so instead why don't you just explain the services you do offer, and an indication of the price, or basically say anything BUT, "Yeah, but we don't do it for free. Because now I'm pissed off and I didn't need this shit because I'm already having a bad day"
Lubetard: "OK, well, just wait in the office and we'll take a look."
So, I walk to the office and by the time I get there and sit down and wait, I'm still a little pissed, but life too short to be fucked off by some lubetard at a Jiffy lube. But of course, it couldn't end there. A few minutes later another guy comes in, and I knew he's the guy that is going to ask me what type of oil, if I wanted my wipers changed, bla, bla, bla. No problem. So he calls out my name and I come up to the counter and he begins his routine that he does I'm sure 100 times a day.
Countertard: "What type of oil do you want?"
Me: "Nothing fancy, just some regular dino oil."
Countertard: "We don't have that."
Me. "You only have synthetic oil?"
He just looks at me, confused. Then it occurs to me that he didn't know what dino oil is so I explained, "Dino oil... regular ole oil, non-synthetic."
He looks at me, dead blank look on his face, as if I just ask him to name all the countries on the continent of Africa.
Countertard: "We have high mileage oil."
It just went downhill from there. I was talking to an idiot.
So, I waited and to their credit they were done in NO TIME... almost made me wonder if they did anything at all. There was someone who appeared to be a manger, who had this bar code tattoo on the back of his head who came in while I was checking out because the countertard couldn't figure out how to get my receipt to print out. He didn't give me a very good look, but he had something written underneath his tatoo and i thought i saw the words, "Loose Fist Bottom", whatever that means...
Anyway, won't be going back.
