since the owner of my company lets me use a company vehicle for much of my personal transportation, i fill it with gas and change oil on my own dime. well the service timer has been dinging me for the last week and i knew it was due for an oil change. i go to the local china (wal) mart and pick up 6 quarts of valvoline and a "supertech" oil filter. i always tear off the tab on the filter carton and write down the date and mileage of the last change, so i know the number. i get this stuff yesterday afternoon but the engine is hot and it's getting late so i just leave everything in the bag in the floorboard. flashforward to this afternoon, i start to do the service. i drain the oil and i pull the bag out with the new oil and filter. all of a sudden i notice a huge oil puddle in the (plastic, thankfully) floormat. i check the bottles but none of them are leaking so i check the box. yep, it's oil soaked. i pull the filter out and i'll be damned but it was half full of oil! now i'm thinking i'm not at all happy, but it's not the vette and the oil looks clean so i may just install it. then i get to looking at it and it's not even the right filter! so what i deduce is some doucherocket picked up the wrong filter for his change, primed it and then figured out it was wrong. so rather than coughing up the whopping sum of $3 to (take personal responsibility) and fix his mistake, he just goes back into walmart and swaps the wrong filter into the box i need.
in the end, it's really not that big a deal. just a hassle 'cause now i have to do a half service, put the truck back together, go pick up the correct filter and then change it.
loser. all for three stinking dollars. no wonder i hate people.
 
Just assume it was a teenager with no money. At least you'll feel a little better.

We'd do unethical stuff like this in high school. I remember buying a bearing puller from Canadian Tire, doing the job and returning the tool because it was the wrong colour. The idiot at the returns counter didn't know any better and happily gave a refund. Presumably your Walmart clerk wasn't any more knowledgeable.
 
About the only thing I buy from "The Zone" anymore is oil filters/fluids. I check the boxes because the "3rd world" citizens near me swap the Fram and HD Fram oil filter boxes. Been thru that.
The other day I changed oil for a customer, and bought a Mobil 1 filter. I get home, open her up, and there is a HD Fram filter. Looks like they are trading up higher these days. Son of a bitch@#$^&T(&*%$@!!!!!!
 
Same thing happens to me at Home Depot. I buy a faucet in a SEALED BOX and take it to a customer for installation only to find out that it was picked over and returned to the store where it was RESEALED and put back on the shelf. WTF!?!?!?!? Faucets are useless without ALL OF THE F%*#@ING PARTS!!!
Then again I see that the majority of Home Depot employees either stand around and gossip with each other half of the day or go outside and smoke cigarettes for the other half of the day. It is the new American way, reward people for mediocrity..... every child gets a gold star.....
Pardon me.... I digress...... been reading too many of Gene's posts....Conspirators and Commies!!!! All of 'em!!!!! And Green Weenies and Yellow Butterfly Stompers too!:hissyfit:
 
Jeff, when it's on sale at AutoZone it's $29.95 for 5 qts Mobil1 incl a Bosch or Mobil1 filter ... same price at WallyMart, the 5 qts container is $22 and the filter $8... regular price, not a sale...

Semi-synthetic: AutoZone $21 for Valvoline, Wally Mart $14.....

I am currently being converted into a WalMart shopper....:clobbered:

That was more than a little funny. Having said this, I think the legislation has already been signed into law.

and I`m surprised chinamart didn`t open the box before giving said douchebag a refund...........

RVR, i don't think they actually got it. my theory is doucherocket swapped it out on his own. of course, given the quality of the average chinamart employee, who knows?
 
We used to have saying at work. "Who pays you?". It'a bit bland but it does say it all. We'd get these customers in. They would be completely fat stupid and useless. Couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time, but some how they had a nice house, family, car life, went on vacations, all the good stuff. Somebody was paying them to go to work each day :hissyfit: God knows - thier everywhere.
 
NOT a day goes by, I don't cuss stupidity over something obvious on 3 different occasions.....freeking people cant even use some common sense and design a decent road system, or entrance ramp, for for that matter a freeking sign that can be read when looked for.....

:harhar:

Did you take them BACK?
:skeptic:If you kept them, your probably bitching about another mouth to feed.:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

:rain:Now there is the time I went to help pick up my grand mother , who was being released from the hospital. "had not seen her in many years",, The hospital wheeled out this old lady "who was all shriveled and wrinkled" to the car. The old lady was bitching and cussing ""I've been setting in this wheel chair for five hour's in the hot sun! :rain::Where in the hell have you been,, On And On she ripped ass, It was my Aunt who took a second look """Oh Shit """who is this Woman??:rofl::rofl::rofl: Seems the hospital wheeled out the wrong person.
 
there is a chain of stores up here called Blaine`s Farm & Fleet, they open EVERY oil filter box and check that the correct filter and nothing but an oil filter is in every box right there at the cash register...I suppose they open every NON sealed box to make sure it is what it`s supposed to be.....

Funny, I just got an email form a friend on this very subject - how do I attach or ad a link to a "WMV" Windows Media Player so you guys can see it?
