you'll find this amusing.......I did!!
1st IDIOT........BEFORE 9AM!
Phone Rings, I pick it up-
"Thanks for calling Auto Zone, this is Ron......How can I help you?"
Caller on the other end of Phone-
" I have a question........I'm trying to see if my Distributor is working
properly, so I drilled a 1/2" hole in the Dist Cap, re-installed it, started
the engine and stuck a
screwdriver in the hole and got a HELL of a electrical shock.......is it
supposed to do that?
My reply......(while trying not to laugh..mind you)-
" Yeeeaaaaa,.......No Shit!.....that's what happens when you stick a metal
object in something with electric running thru it.....
(snicker....snicker..trying not to loose it)
" Sounds like you've got other problems NOW!"
"Here's a tip.... Don't do that ........take it to a mechanic if you think
you have problems,......that's right ,.....goodbye"
( I'm thinking to myself, you'll need a licensed therapist and a Ambulance
if you do that again...and Thank God you don't have an MSD box on it)
ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER
2nd Idiot.....( "I think it may be the same gerbil......not sure though" )
Pick up phone......(same coporate crap)
hello....yada....yada......Auto Zone.....
caller-
"How can you check a Spark plug, is there a test tool or something?
(I repeat the question out loud so to make sure I hear it right).....
Ernie hears me and grins, starts snickering too.......and yells out loud
" Take it out of the engine, hold it in your hand, connect the plug wire,
and crank the engine while holding the business end of the plug in your
fingers!........you'll know if it's good or not right quick!"
I put my hand over the mouth piece to prevent him from hearing Ernie.......
Fearful he just might try it........LOL
if he did hear him.......
I then say to the caller-
No Sir,.....No way to check the plugs.
Just replace them if you think they are suspect..........that's right, we
have'em
in stock.....Good bye....
I'm not sure who's worse the customers, callers or my employees.........LOL
