That’s what started it, I wanted them to look up what size came on it stock. They claimed it was store policy to only put on what they they took off. I didn’t want anyone that stupid touching my car anyhow. (And I had fun loudly proclaiming it!)
So if you had the wrong tire size in the first place, it was “store policy” to only sell you the same wrong tire size? They couldn’t lookup the correct tire size for the make and model – ask to see your owner’s manual? That’s got to be (one of) the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. What if you needed new windshield wipers? Would they only sell you the exact same ones you had even if they were the wrong size? What if you went to Wally-Mart to buy some new clothes after losing a lot of weight came in wearing pants 2 sizes too big – would they refuse to sell you pants in a size 2 smaller than what you were currently wearing?
As far as the gal trying to purchase the Mossberg, she and her husband should have gone to Cabela’s or a local independent gun store. Some years ago my husband and I were shopping for a firearm for home protection, mostly for me to use and were thinking of a shotgun, thinking that with a shot gun, I as someone who never fired a firearm before didn’t necessarily have to be a great shot and a shotgun could take down a perp pretty handily. The gun store owners, a former Baltimore cop and former MD State policeman BTW, actually recommended against a shotgun for several reasons (close proximity of my neighbor’s house mostly) and recommended a basic revolver even over a semi-automatic or automatic pistol. His reasoning was a revolver can be kept handy in the night stand and in an emergency; a revolver is unlikely to jam and would be easier for me to learn to use, handle, provided of course that I learned how to use it and spent a good time at the range to gain accuracy. But at the end of the day it was a only a “recommendation”, they would have sold us whatever we wanted to buy.
We are there now. It scares me...........................
