Re: AutoZone rant
Many years ago I worked at the Arlington, TX store when it first opened. The
manager there must have just come over from used car sales. I lasted a week there, I couldn't stand it. Several years later I needed to outfit a home recording studio, and I was dealing with the pro audio manager in the Roseville MI. He was the most knowledgable guy I ever met who worked there, but after a while he left to open a barbecue joint. Never got the same level of service there again.
