This is premium schtick. Well played!Please stop using my name as a slur.
Thank you.
Wait- couldn't they just see it was flat?Ministry of Pain said:Tech looks it over and says nothing wrong with the tire no reason for it to go flat.
Lol! Far and away my favorite post here at FBG’s in a while. Literally snorted from laughing. Kudos.TLEF316 said:Did he record the whole thing and post it on tik tok?
Maybe you should take some Imperial Academy classes....While I'm glad to be on the "normal" side of interpreting the encounter in the OP... actually not liking the treatment of MoP in here. my 2c
Sam's and Walmart have really good deals on tires and batteries. Usually cheaper than the auto places. They easily have a better waiting room.Yes. A tire place would have been a better option 99.9% of the time.
This stop was for a patch, not to buy new tires.Sam's and Walmart have really good deals on tires and batteries. Usually cheaper than the auto places. They easily have a better waiting room.

Yea, and MOP jr must have paid for a diagnosis or patch for the story to be somewhat reasonable. I'm surprised even a stoned mechanic would miss the nail, which made me wonder if maybe junior stuck the nail in after. This kid learned well, he is going places.This stop was for a patch, not to buy new tires.
If safety of the son and girlfriend was the main concern and primary reason for the trip to Walmart, this post isn't getting enough attention. So, there is one brand new tire on the vehicle, but what is the state of the other 3 tires?Wait, he let them mount just one new tire? He didn’t get both when the worn one was replaced? Just one tire is a no-no.
Good point, if the thread on that tire needed replacement, wouldn't the others as well?If safety of the son and girlfriend was the main concern and primary reason for the trip to Walmart, this post isn't getting enough attention.

Only if management will discount them.Good point, if the thread on that tire needed replacement, wouldn't the others as well?
Maybe he makes the majority of his turns in the same direction, so each tire travels a different distance and wears differentGood point, if the thread on that tire needed replacement, wouldn't the others as well?
Sorry, you'll have to speak to my manager. (I couldn't resist, sorry.)Please stop using my name as a slur.
Thank you.
No offense but your kid seems like he is going to be a problem going forward. This story is pretty weak.Ministry of Pain said:He's watched me do it since he entered my life 3 years ago and at first I told him don't do what Dad does, you'll get in trouble. But he's a chip off the old block and he had his first run in at Walmart getting a tire changed or fixed for his girlfriend's car. Tech looks it over and says nothing wrong with the tire no reason for it to go flat.
My son decides that maybe they don't know what they are talking about and starts to really examine the tire and start running his hands around and sure enough he finds the nail and begins to tell these folks they will now be fixing his tire for free or someone is getting a phone call and there will be real trouble about this.
Clerk/Tech "I can't do that for you even if I wanted to"
MoP the 2nd "That's right you can't so get me the guy who has the authority to make this happen"
Manager came down and my son showed him all the pics he took and asked if he needed to speak with someone at corporate?
Gen Manager of store "I don't think that will be needed, I can take care of this and I'm sorry that my tech didn't see this, we're short handed and had a couple call outs but I'll make this right"
That kid is going to be alright
I'm pretty sure MOP was being sarcastic about the entire thing. Try not to take internet message boards so serious.I could also think of so many more things to be proud of my son for, this doesn't make the list. I hope your son doesn't read this MB, and specifically thread, as he might learn some more bad MOP examples and start posting things just like this.
Epic fail.
I don't think so, especially since he first defended why his son was right to be upset and now he's avoided chiming in. I think he was just expecting a different response and things went sideways here. This isn't sarcastic at all. And honestly, I shared my thoughts and have been able to live my life since, no worries.I'm pretty sure MOP was being sarcastic about the entire thing. Try not to take internet message boards so serious.
You new here?I'm pretty sure MOP was being sarcastic about the entire thing. Try not to take internet message boards so serious.

I would agree that it is better in the narrow FFA world of this thread but not for the generic not knowing Mrs Rannous started the discussion way.Ken was my choice until I came up with a better one
