Shoulda figgered out a way to print yer own ticket!

We had a similar thing yesterday when we went to pick up the van. Had it in for service (had dropped it off Sunday nite). Got a call that the rear brakes were just barely gonna pass inspection, so told 'em to go ahead. He said they'd have it done yesterday.

What he DIDN'T tell me was that they were closing at three. I called at 2:35 to see if it was done and found out they were closing. We rushed there to get it, but they were "closed." They were gonna give it to us, but I pulled the checkbook out and had no checks (and knew until we went to the bank - next stop - that the debit card wouldn't hold it).

We were left with the option of having to go back this a.m. and get it at 7:30 when they opened. A problem cause the wife works at Walmart on Tuesdays.

We ran into a manager-looking type on the way out who said "How are you folks doing."

Heh...he didn't want to ask that. We ended up driving the van home and I took a check back and put it thru their mailbox.

I swear...maybe it's always been this way and I'm getting older, and maybe it's a cultural change...but younger people today are wayyyyy hung up on rooooolz...they don't think for themselves at all.
