Angry Auto Bone is REALLY pizzing me off!

I went into the local Auto Bone a couple of weeks ago, and found out the place is being run by a guy I used to work with @ Car Parts back in the 90s. I complained to him how I would really like to get back in the biz, but that after putting in multiple applications @ The Bone they never got back to me. Well, he tells me to apply on line, and to use his name as a
referral. So, I go home and do it. Now it has been over 2 weeks, and when I look up my application it says that it is "under review." What's there to review? You got a guy with over 20 years experience, and the backing of the store's manager. They shoulda been calling me back the next friggin' day! Auto Bone sux azz BIG TIME!!!

"Never" getting back to me ain't what I consider a "process!"

Thats because the mere fact that you know the difference between a brake rotor and a dounut makes you automaticly over qualified.

I shed a tear for Car Parts every time I walk into that place. AutoZone sucks. What sucks worse is that NAPA is the only other game in town and they are closed too much on weekends.

I have all the stuff people want. But every time I try to post about it, it gets locked, deleted and I get yelled at.
BTW, Sears has lowest prices on Eibach springs over Summit...just an FYI.

I had some of the best times in my life working at Car Parts. I was a part timer who was pretty much working full time, and I learned A LOT while working there. Plus it was like a social club...after hours the beer would flow, the hot rod books would come out, and the bench racing would last long into the night...
