It's like.. dude.. I TOLD you I installed all this myself.. do you not think I'm not going to notice?

When I worked for Advance, we had a Firestone AND a Meineke in the same parking lot, plus we delivered to NTB (Now Big O Tires here). They are all fvcking morons. Come to think of it, Tires Plus is marginally better, but they are still idiots.
The NTB we delivered to would regularly break customer lug studs, then charge the customer to replace them.
