I work at a wal mart tire an lube express...and i have to say that 90 %
percent of the pressure to hurry up is the customers chewin out the
management and thus rolling downhill to the techs...so we get rushed so the
customers are happy...but somethin gets dropped in the madness...usually
quality...:o/
I dont wanna make this a huge thread..email me personally if you would like
to chat.....
