I asked Kim to just give me the tire and I would carry it out. She did as I asked. I handed her a coupon and told her I did NOT want additional road hazard as I have grown to hate the management staff at this location. She refused to accept the coupon as a matter of policy with the manager next to her agreeing. She was in no way rude, she stated policy as facts as she believed them to be. Not everything you are told is right and not everything you are used to doing a particular way is the right way. I asked for a written road hazard booklet, she had none. That was convenient. She also refused the coupon as a matter of policy as well. Road hazard is NOT a coupon or even a discount, but a credit. The coupon should not have been rejected and I should not have had to purchase a product I do NOT want. I understand I had to pay Midas for their labor for the convenience of trying their tire. That was fair. Your company is and will drive away business. I intend on sharing my thoughts via facebook, yahoo. yelp, google, rip off report, and twitter if you do not respond appropriately. I expect a refund on the road hazard and the difference of the mounting and balancing. Personally I think you should give me back the $20 I paid Midas too. I would have had them dismount a prefectly good tire if you manager was so abstinent.
P.S. My original reciepts says DOT #'s not on file. Two of my tires are original. Is it possible they were recalled and I was not notified because they were not recorded properly. That is a safety concern. Should I contact the NHTSA. I hope you have them on file somewhere as it is a $10,000 fine per concurrence. I am a concerned consumer. Management and customer service takes a strong person who does not make careless mistakes and can see customer concerns from more than one angle. You manager had NO right to tell me how to feel and whether or not I should be happy.

And you dont have the right to buck the system. YOU chose the actions that lead to them denying your warrenty claim. Its not ABOUT safety. Its about WHAT that manager has to answer for. He told you the process and you disagree. The great thing is that they dont have to give you a DIME. YOU went against the road hazard policy and YOU expected them to honor it anyways. Hers a thought for that little brain of yours, YOU CANNOT ALWAYS HAVE YOUR WAY!!! And thats all your post reads as. Someone who was told NO and feels its perfectly acceptable to make slanderous attacks against INDIVIDUALS. Thats pretty lowbrow and tacky on your part. Its ALSO illegal. SO if that company wishes to ,they can find out EXACTLY who you are and serve you some nice court papers DEMANDING that you PAY for your actions online.
If you had the road hazard protection it wouldnt have killed you to make a phone call BEFORE midas did the work, But YOU chose to do it YOUR way and now you get nothing. It must be so great to be absolutly perfect that you can sit back and type out some baseless accusations because YOU WERE TOLD NO.
I swear the American Consumer gets more and more spoiled with each pass day. This is yet MORE proof of that. This person RIPPED THEMSELVES OFF and wishes to blame someone else. They have your money and are under ZERO obligation to do anything for you since you went against the terms and conditions of the road hazard protection. Once you have done that, they are free and clear of any obligation. You screwed yourself by the choices YOU made. You CANNOT then claim they are being rude by not giving you your way. Grow up and accept the fact that the choices you made that day are what put you in this situation. And not to put too fine a point on this but Customer Service doesnt mean that they bend over and let you screw them. Even a MANAGER is not paid enough to put up with customers like you.
