Thread regarding Sears layoffs

Notes From the SAC

As long as we are doing tribute songs to sears I might as well add one.

Definately NOT "the softer side" of seared [sic}. Obviously I am auto. I have three bikes in my garage, two of which are Harleys. We get a lot of customers...er, members, who come in with their Harley retail shirts, hat's and jackets and talk all tough and big.

If you are so awesome then why don't you fix your wife's car yourself? They don't know who they are talking to. Just some dumb Sears employee they think we are. You want ask, have every ridden a motorcycle in your life?

People get bossy and issue time constraints. Take it somewhere else if you have an appointment in fifteen minutes. The add-ons are the worst for appointments. "I am here for an oil change, BUT I WOULD ALSO like to have my brakes checked and alignment and I have an engine light on and my TPMS light is on". No you aren't.

"How long will it take?". It takes as long as needs to take is how long. No one maintains their vehicles. They run it to junk and then think you can fix it in 15 minutes. And then they get mad.

My shop was poached for my techs yesterday. People are always trying to hire my techs but have never come into the backshop and handing out business cards.

I know that some of you wonder about me. It real, knucklehead express tech split his head open on a receiver hitch. Blood running down his face. Customers complaining about the wait time. Can't you see I have I man down? Forget your EFFING car. "But I need it RIGHT NOW!". I have a man down on the floor bleeding right in front of them and they don't care.

I am sure I am going to written up for being curt, but not rude or profane. I don't care. I have a couple of Harleys and spring is almost here.

Life is too short for people like that. I am sure am glad to know that while a motorcycle that there are whole bunch of people driving 3000 lbs cars around with bald tires and no brakes. Just great.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not a millennial. The way you're criticizing, for example, the general public who don't have a working knowledge of car repairs, is just sort of ridiculous. Some people don't understand automotive repair. Other people (I won't point any fingers) aren't so good with grammar and syntax. Most brain surgeons probably don't rant and rave about how most people don't understand brain surgery. You sound like an angry teenager.

That is all you have? I really don't think you understand bca. You children have nothing but debt. You wanna take a swipe at me? Millennials have no idea who they are dealing with.

It doesn't matter what you actually say in these posts, or what point ls you may be trying to make, or even if you're right or wrong about anything. All anyone notices is that you seem completely deranged.

You want interesting posts here don't you? SAC is not full on retail. When you bring me junk and you won't spend any money then will kill someone because you are too broke to drive a safe I will see you in court.

For the A-hole who asked what my post has to do about Sears. It has a lot to do about Sears. When there is blood on the shop floor it is pretty serious. We are not cashiers.

Harley? Are you daft? Wikipedia can tell you what happened. Why is Harley an American icon like Sears used to be? What happened?

All I do is read. I do it every single day.

You are worried that I have some money? I have no debt is what I have. I have some stacks of precious metals, numismatics and all the guns and ammo 20 people could want.

That is why I don't care when people call auto asking for FLS appliances because no one will answer. I just don't care.

At the end of the day you didn't take care of your car and now it is junk and you will have to put 3k into it just to make it right. This is not my fault. You are the zero that let get this bad. Everyday. Some shops won't work on these wrecks so they come to SAC.

What do you want from me?

The posts by dmi and vem were in response to reply posts by the OP that could be considered somewhat insulting. Looks like the moderators felt the same way since those posts have now been deleted.

What does having a Harley have to do with Sears and the lousy customers you deal with? Not a damn thing. You need to talk to your doctor about some anti depressants.

Why are you so vain and boastful? If you possess superior wisdom and copious wealth why bother to interact with the unworthy?

Why are you so angry? If you have money why don't you move on?

Express techs are at min wage. No one wants to do this work anymore. My Master Tech doesn't want to wrench anymore. He is sick of it. Not just Sears....just sick of it. He is a wrench of the caliber that I have never seen. I have cash so maybe we can flip cars? I have been doing that for years and it is thin market. People are just too dumb to know what you are talking about even when you show them what is wrong.

Can't you see it you dope.???? "I need to call my wife/husband" AKA, I AM BROKE. There is nothing to think about when you had your car towed in. Tow it somewhere else then. We are always busy.

Who do these people think they are talking to? I don't care about Eddie and FLS. I don't care if they call corporate....press 1 to be disconnected. Sears can Eff off.

Most auto shops like that s---. Customers are rude entitled people.

I quit turning wrenches 12 years ago, I was so sick of it.

What does a sears auto tech make? Do you have any mastertechs?
