Was I an a-hole?
 

Took the Gladiator in to the stealership for a free oil change today. The service reception area is 3 cubicles with the service advisers sitting in each of them. As you walk in to the area, there are tables in front of the cubicle entrances, intended to be a socialist distance buffer. And of course, everyone has to wear face diapers.

I walk in and one of the service advisers asked if I had an appointment, which I did. She asked for my name, so I told her, and spelled it out for her. She asked again, and I spelled it out for her again. She couldn't find me in the computer because she couldn't hear me.

I was wearing a face diaper, as was she, and she was at least 10 feet away. Since I didn't feel like shouting while wearing a face diaper, and dealing with this bullshit, I simply left.

I'll be so glad when this shit is over. :banghead:

I never read anything but I’ll assume yes anyway.

N B4 Snide

How hard could it be for her to spell Snide? :leaving:

Fixt...

I would have found a manager and reamed him a new one for making it nearly impossible to do business there. Then I would insist on having them pick my vehicle up from home and deliver it when completed since they cannot find some happy medium concerning personal contact in house. And I would STILL not be an asshole for doing that!

No.......You were not an asshole.
An asshole would have removed his face panties and yelled....:seasix:

I would have punched her in the face. Then would have taken her to the men's bathroom without a mask and raped her. Gone back without a mask and yelled i'am snide and i have an appointment. :yesnod:

no, not this time. Don't worry though, you'll have another chance tomorrow. :shots::leaving:

This is a Gladiator. :yesnod:

Oh, I thought that it was a porn flck!

:funnier::funnier::funnier:

We had this truck on the farm, In-dee-structable. :yesnod:

:cert:

Yes, somewhat of an asshole. The service writers don't make the rules of the place. Hell, if your area is like mine, those rules probably don't even come from the dealership itself. They're trying to do the best they can with what they're forced to do.

Personally, I'd make another appointment, go back, get it done, and if they remember you leaving, tell them you had a sudden emergency you had to leave to take care of. Alternatively, buy the shit and do it yourself or go to a quick change place and pay for it.

So, if I'm reading this correctly, Snide was an asshole. I mean, he still is, but he was, too.

:dance:

Note that I did not yell or curse, I just left.

That's how you got "somewhat" vs. "total."

I mean, we could score this like Flex's dinner plates, I guess.

You wasted your time, you could have walked over to her and give her the moronic treatment, get your oil done, and teached the little bitch a lesson

last name: SMiTH; S-like stupid, M-like muff, I-like imbecile, T-like thunder****, H-like Ho

:rofl: :rofl:

You were not an asshole. Abrupt perhaps but so be it. Since you asked the question it sounds like you may have doubts about how you handled it. I've done similar things and have regretted it. What you might think about doing is calling them for another appointment and tell them why you left and how best to overcome the obstacle from the first time.

Service writers have to deal with pissed-off customers every day so I doubt they considered you an asshole. Believe it or not.....

:funnier::funnier::funnier:

You might receive better treatment if you got rid of the butt-ugly stock rims. :yesnod:

Without mask - Snide - S-N-I-D-E

With mask - Fnibe - F-N-I-B-E

:rofl: :rofl:

Were you the fly on the wall? :funnier::funnier::funnier:

It was for a free oil change. You took the time to drive there.

So who really lost on this deal ?

Damn I bet their worried about the financial hit they'll take this month by not giving you a free oil change.

People that complain about free shit. :wtf:

You could have used sign language

might be the easier question to ask...



:leaving:

I'm pretty sure the dealership isn't happy about putting people through that crap either.

I work the counter at the local golf course. We have a table in front of the counter and plexiglass barriers attached to the desk. And masks. We do not accept payments in cash. Every last one of us hates it. However, if we don't follow the rules, Fort Worth Code Compliance could come in and shut us down.

I don't blame you for the frustration, but it's the current climate we live in. :dunno:

"Was" ???????????????????????????????????????

Right!?!?!?!

The only question you've ever asked that I agree with. :yesnod:

In your case you NEVER have to ask yourself that question, cause it's a GIVEN!:hurray:

I knew the answer even before clicking on this thread. :D

OP has been around here for a while. :yesnod:

I think you should stand out in front of the dealership carrying a sign that says. "They can't find me in the computer for a free Oil Change" :yesnod:

Making up the sign right now. :yesnod:

Of course they can't find him in the computer. Shit, he was right there, standing 10 feet away from them, shouting unintelligibly into a mask. How could he be in the computer? He wasn't allowed to get anywhere NEAR the computer, much less, IN the computer.

Hope this helps.

:dance:

So, Snidely, whatcha gonna do now about that required oil change?


:bigears:

*they're

And I agree, he really showed them!

Write it in Ebonics and your brothers will loot and burn down the dealership. :yesnod:

[egnalf]It's good for another 197k miles[/egnalf]

I am still laughing at the word "Was".

Just posted ads on Craigslist and Fakebook, asking peeps to join me in a "peaceful protest" in front of the stealership. :shots::shots::shots:

cant be sure, not a beloved ford.

i guess taking out an id and letting them check the name was out of the question.

Obviously. Everyone would have had to wear gloves, as ID has cooties. :rolleyes:

Boo hoo - can you say first world problems?

Thnaks, it's good to have someone like you around to keep me from embarrassing myself.:seasix:

Weak sauce. :yesnod:

I don't wear them. And about tired of hearing everyone sound like Charlie Brown's momma. Feckin' fuzzy voices.
