And that’s just one of the reasons I like my local auto service shop. They have a soda fountain and a Keurig brewer, and if someone remembers to make it, there’s popcorn and once in a while they’ll have cookies. All this and Wifi.
Not that they charge excessively, but they do go “above and beyond” pretty frequently. Last year, I was in for an oil change, and when I was waiting, someone came out to tell me that they’d found a screw in a tire and were going to take the tire off to patch and balance it, so the oil change was going to take a little longer. No extra charge for the flat repair. And last week, I was getting a tire replaced. When they were done, they put the spare back into the trunk and everything was back together as if nothing happened.
Try getting someone at Sears to give you a free flat repair on a tire you didn’t buy from them, or to put your spare away. More likely, you’ll end up like comedian Ron White, who went to Sears, and when he was leaving, the wheel fell off.
That’s hilarious, gotpasswords. I’m hoping this service department will prove really good. I bought the car from this dealer, and the service then was phenomenal and they gave me a really good deal on the car, so I figure for a few years at least I’ll continue going here.
I like takin’ 'Stand and Twuck to the local Ford dealership from whence they were bought. I’ve always gotten excellent service and the dealership is no more expensive than other places. Heck, for routine service, they’re actually a little cheaper. Oh and there is wifi to go with the awful coffee.
I’m calling an emergency meeting of the Mumper Nickname Committee
If Rosie has more than 2 arms, & more importantly, can grow more as necessary, she is obviously a real alien. :eek: Since Vorlon* is only a fictional alien should we reassign the nickname???
Also, does anyone know how to get a hold of Tommy Lee Jones &/or Will Smith?
I don’t think I’ve ever found a green persimmon here, alas- in fact, the only ones I’ve tried have had no flavour at all, sour or otherwise. I shall be sure to report back what I try.
At least having multiple exes with the same birthday makes it easier to remember- it’s like dating guys with the same name- saves mix-ups
When my daughter was in middle school, she had no less than 5 friends named Jessica, so I created the Jessica Rule - all of her friends from then on had to be named Jessica. That way, I wouldn’t have to struggle to remember names! Naturally after that, I don’t think a single one of her friends was a Jessica. Contrary child!!!
Well, that was an interestin’ encounter I just ummm… encountered. Yeah, there are certain criteria for the services we provide. The common ones are age 55 or older, currently unemployed, below 125% of federal income poverty guidelines (though I can work around that one), have low employment prospects without the assistance of training to find employment, be a citizen of the U.S. or reside in the U.S. legally and other stuff. Then there are the unwritten criteria such as don’t show up for an appointment reekin’ of alcohol. Seriously. I excused myself and asked our security guard to come in and tell me if he suspected it as well. Yep. We asked him if he had driven himself here. He had. :eek: Needless to say he was not allowed to leave on his own. He was told he could either give us a name and number of someone to call to come and get him or we could ask a police person to come evaluate the situation. He gave us a name and number to call. His daughter. She was highly displeased when she smelled him.
I was goin’ to enroll him and get him set up for trainin’ at a non-profit agency we have developed a really good relationship with. Not now. Sheesh!
