"DIDN'T YOU READ WHAT I WROTE?" Yes, I did. "FIRST OF ALL THE MANAGER RARELY CLOSES A STORE,PEOPLE LIKE ME HAVE TO DO THAT." The Manager is the only person who closes the store. He/she is also the only person who opens the store. The janitor has no authority to do so, so that leaves you out. "ONE OF MY PERSONAL RULES IS TO HELP PEOPLE EVEN IF ITS 10 MIN TO CLOSE OR CLOSED." Nobody cares about your personal rules. The hours of operation are posted for a reason, and are set by the Corporate Ofiice. "OUR GS WORKERS ARE RARELY LET GO BEFORE 1/2 HOUR AFTER CLOSE." That's bull. They get paid an hourly rate for being at the shop from open to close. When closing time arrives, they go home. "THEY KNOW THEY MAY HAVE TO STAY LATE.PEOPLE COUNT NOT STORE HOURS," People have lives outside of work, and man-hours count against the bottom line. The Manager is responsible for making sure his store's margins are within those set by Corporate. Labor is the largest single cost, so overtime is out of the question. "WHATS WITH YOU AND RESTURANT COMPARISONS ANYWAY?" Because they work very easily, and a simpleton like you needs all the assistance he can get. Try getting served by any business when they are about to close. "IVE SEEN YOUR NAME ON ALMOST EVERY STORY ABOUT TIRES PLUS SO YOU MUST WORK FOR THEM OR YOU WOULDNT STICK UP FOR THEM SO MUCH." I post on lots of threads. So far I've been accused of working for just about every form of business out there, from Insurance to Food Service. I find nearly all complaints about a business to be fraudulant at worst, and plain ignorance on the part of the consumer at best. Most people went to Government Schools, and were never taught how business works. "JUST BECAUSE YOU WOULDNT STAY AND HELP SOMEONE DOSENT MEAN I WONT." The Janitor isn't there to help people. You are supposed to be sweeping the floors. I help people who know how to work their schedule to fit the posted hours of operation at my shop. I do very well too. "YOU SEEM TO ENJOY CUTTING PEOPLE DOWN ON HERE SO HERES ONE FOR YOU.IF YOUR BRAINS WERE GAS YOU WOULDNT HAVE ENOUGH TO POWER A PISS ANTS MOTORCYCLE HALF WAY AROUND A BB." That was pretty good. Mind if I use that one later on? I'll give you due credit of course. "IF YOU ARE GOING TO TALK OUT OF YOUR a*s MAKE SURE IT IS BETTER EDUCATED ABOUT THE SUBJECT!!!" I find it hard to talk out of my a*s while your tongue is there. I am educated on the subject of TP, and auto repair in general. My Manager has 20 years experience working for them, 17 as Manager. He finds you to be less than knowledgable on this subject.

You're a hoot Tj. I never have, and never will work for TP. You miss the point. The OP doesn't know why he/she is refused service when the mechanics are all gone(or in the process of leaving), and the Manager is doing his/her paperwork. Considering your attitude, I doubt you've ever ran a TP, nor any other business. Next time you're hungry, enter a restaurant that's ready to close. Next time you need car repairs, try getting it done 10 minutes before the manager locks the door.

I have a buddy who doesn't understand why I won't enter a restaurant 10 minutes before they close. He uses the same illogic you do..."they're open". Yes, they are, but COMMON SENSE dictates if the establishment will not be open in 10 minutes, the chances of being helped are slim. You discovered this. Most of us learned it as children.
