Re: AutoZone rant
If the kid had said something UP FRONT before I started writing the check, things would have been much different. I could have walked or chosen to pay with a debit card. I elected to use a check; they didn't have to take it. If they don't want to take checks, that's OK. But this switcheroo midstream in a transaction from check to electronic funds transfer leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I generally go to NAPA. Tonight it was dark and I had only one headlight, so I went to the nearest place. I knew exactly what I wanted and didn't need to rely on their 'expertise' to look anything up. I guess I learned a lesson. Fortunately it will only cost me a stop payment fee. |

> BTW, the SilverStars are a big improvement over stock halogen headlights!
I just installed Cibie H-4s in the wife's XJ with 55/100 watt bulbs. Excellent lighting, far more than you would need for a city vehicle. They cook the deer before they jump in front of you. I have to jam the brakes at least once a day now, the deer are moving down for the winter. -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |

Re: AutoZone rant
My check was good. It's been many years since I have needed to float a check, LOL! The fact is, I got neither lights nor my check back. I am not complaining so much that they wanted to pull a fast one as much as I am complaining that they wouldn't give me my check back. |

Re: AutoZone rant
So the guy STOLE your check!?!
I'd have a very firm conversation with the manager of that store. They certainly have a right not to accept your check, but they have no right to steal it!
