Preoptopus posted:Discount is very specific in how they do things. They have it to a science which is why they are the monster they have become. They are all about efficiency so im sure everyone has a specific task and they have 4 guys to a car. I busted tires at a sears auto center and that was run on with a very loose 80s mentality. (Which is why they arnt around anymore) We had way more fun than thoes guys can dream about. Bad Munki posted:I’ve heard Discount Tire is a relatively good place to work, at least for that kind of job, and maybe doesn’t poo poo on their people as much as a lot of other places, C/D? It's the only tire shop I've used in the past 10 years or so, and they've been very consistent. I imagine management is really rigorous about appearances, but everyone I've seen working there seems pretty content. For a while I wrote them off as the Jiffy Lube of tire places, and I guess they kind of are, but the one time they messed up (cross-threaded a nut), they paid for it to be fixed 8 months later when I found the problem. Fast, efficient, etc. I'd like to think that kind of operation and customer service follows with well-treated employees, but don't know for sure.

They pride themselves in their hire from within corporate structure and everyone starts as a tire tech. Jump through their hoops for a while and they make u store manager making drat near six figures. District mangers and the higher ups in corporate make a poo poo ton of money. Discount tire just bought tire rack to give you a sense of scale. It's one of the few companies that still exist I can think of where if u put in your time and kiss the right amount of rear end you can go from starting wage to very decent living wage within 10 years or less.

I used to use Discount Tire until they somehow hosed up my alignment and the manager basically shrugged about it.

If I pull up to an independent tire shop and there isn't half the owner's family napping on couches, a faint smell of Mexican-Vietnamese fusion cooking permeating the place, two dogs fuckin' out back, and a beat to hell pickup full of old tires out front, I take my business elsewhere. It's hard to find anyone you can trust nowadays, so it's always appreciated when people keep up appearances. Bonus points if no one speaks Chinese but we still use Chinese Pidgin English to negotiate a price (which is always in multiples of $20). A slightly bizarre, albeit pleasant, bit of business. $160 for mounting, balance, and alignment on all four. The eggrolls were great, too.

whose coupler scheme is this? Nm, I found out it's a German coupling scheme called Digital Automatic Coupling that they're trying to get up EU enthusiasm about so the continent can standardize around it. https://www.dellner.com/products/freight-couplers/digital-automatic-coupler-dac Pigsfeet on Rye fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Oct 25, 2022 |

I took an extra tire I had laying around to a tiny local place, asked if they would take it, expecting to be told it'd cost me $20 to get them to discard it properly. The guy came out, looked it over, asked if it was punctured, and then offered me $20 for it so he could resell it. Um, yes! Tehyce fixed punctures for about $20 and took like $10 to free the nuts after the dealer super over tightened them and I was too weak to do it myself.

That poo poo was shot in the 80s and didn't carry over well to the early 00s. I think the machines would kill most of them, those that are still alive, which probably isn't many. Lots of smokers in that truck stop. You could even smoke in the store and the diner at the time.

I have a hippy nomadic friend who's been traveling around wookin it for like 7 years and he landed at a truck stop where he gets treated suoer well and loves it. If a truck stop can be a good home to a anti establishment hippy dude then I reckon they are doing a few things right

I love things like the bulging battery pillows, but I feel like radiation warnings like that should be treated with the respect granted to safewords. Radioactive sources don't look like common people would expect, so they need to know if they ever see that in person it really means HOLY poo poo LITERALLY DROP THIS RIGHT NOW

Contrary to what would make sense to you or me, I'd think it would possibly be more valuable for many people to be able to recognize the object and understand why it says "DROP AND RUN" and that they need to call 911 in that situation. (And maybe instinctively drop that poo poo and run!) I could imagine a lot of people, not knowing anything about radiation, encountering a loose source (at first glance a weird metal cylinder), see the trefoil symbol, read the thing, and still catch a really bad dose in the time it takes for them to decide to follow the instructions (assuming they do.) That stupid pillow might just save lives by raising popular awareness, somehow? That being said, if someone thought up keychains or something that looked like an actual source at the same scale as the real thing would be more of a "nobody should make this no matter how high they are" situation in my mind. A pillow? Not so much. Effective-Disorder fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Oct 25, 2022 |
