this is at my old job. we actually got this A LOT
customer walks in.
Hi i'd like to buy some a tire i got a flat.
Sure......convo goes on like normal.
We get to the labor costs for putting them on.
No thank ill just take it with me.
No problem (lots of people have bought just the tires and rolled out)
Bring out a tire from the back.
No sir, I'm sorry you misunderstood. IM LOOKING FOR THE WHOLE TIRE, not just the rubber!
then i had to have a twenty minute conversation with the woman and actually having to show her how we break down the wheels using one of the old calibration wheels for the balancer.
this is actually from what i hear a common occurrence in tire shops across america. People actually think the rim is part of the tire. wow.
