i just started workign at autozone part time (westbelfert and gessner) or how ever you spell it.
I know alot of things, but im not saying i know everything. There aer some people who come in and i have no clue what they are talking about. Might because they dont speak english. Thank god we have 3 spanish speakers there. lol
But one thing that had me clueless was this lady came in last night to have her car scanned casue it had a code right. Well go out there scan it, comes up something like misfire malfunction or w.e. Well i print her receipt out for the code to take to dealer. SHe starts up car and the thing just spins, like the starter isnt touching the flywheel. Dont know if it had spark or not. She even had her coil , plugs, and wires changed 2 months earlier from us. She had to call a towtruck to come get her. I kinda felt bad cause i had no idea.
But other than that, if yall are in that area stop on by. I may be there, since im part time. Just look for the silver camaro out there with black zr1's
Ive been there serioulsy a week and have already made 35$ in tips outside
Even though u arent suppose to take tips from people. Well you just dont tell anyone!

don't hate the store, hate the idiots that are hired and don't know jack **** about stuff.
O'Reilly's is about a trillion times better than the AutoZone here in B/CS, if even simply for the fact that they actually hire workers. AutoZone has like maybe 1 - 2 people working the counters, and it always takes them for freakin ever....i've seen lines out the door there before, because they only had one cashier and one counter worker, and this was at noon, which is usually the busiest time for a store like that.....
i don't ever go to AutoZone here unless i can't find what i need anywhere else

in b/cs oriellys 701 used to be the ****, but now my understanding is they are hiring idiots who cant properly check their oil level.
advance auto next to car doc always hires people who work on cars, and they are very very cool. oriellys 701 might still be cool, but i havent been up there in a while. the napa on 2818 is good, and thats about all i ever went to. i will say stay away from autozone in b/cs. they have called their wholesaler for a jegs cam for a 87 rx7 one too many times when i was bored up there with a freind.
