Autozone - Fired a guy for using a gun to defend their store.

[tmleadr03]

I don't shop there, I don't buy parts from them. I actually avoid them like the plague. I was forced at one shop I worked at to use them for one month and in the next six I replaced EVERY single part I had hung in that month. Never again. But for those of you who like the low cost prices, allow me to move you towards another parts supplier.

An Autozone store recently got held up and one of their guys defended himself and the store with a firearm. He was subsequently fired due to a zero tolerance policy on guns with Autozone.

I just saw this, thankfully I hit the refresh before posting a new thread about it. Since my friend owns the Car Quest store up here in Evergreen, I shop exclusively there. F*ck Autozone. NRA Radio has an interview with him... if this happened in Denver, and I had my own business, I'd offer the guy a job. Everyone calls him a hero, except Autozone. WTF? Oh and the guy is a veteran.

what store do you recommend? I mainly use NAPA but shop around and sometimes use vatozone.

Autozone screwed me hard on a "Remanufactured" long block assembly back in the 90's, basically called me a liar to my face. I disassembled the engine and found numerous problems(.060 over on a 302?!?+++), had to sue them to make it right. I never go in there willingly.

My employer would fire me for useing a gun to save someones life as well, therefore I would not try to save them.

Depends on the vehicle. Asian and Domestic NAPA is good to go, as is Carquest and Advance. For anything Euro World Pac or go dealership. But World Pac is only available to shops.

On Euros, is Rock Auto or (BMW Specific) BAVAUTO any good? That's usually where I order parts and what not from, when I'm not in a rush or it's something minor like bulbs and oil filters (for that CarQuest).

I hate autozone and the people who shop there I only use rocky mountain cummins, NAPA, or advanced in brighton they have a couple cute girs working there but the parts are shit

read this a day or so ago,

what aholes,

so if need to rob a store autozone would be the better bet, less likely to be able to defend themselves

Sorry to say but this is pretty much par for the course with companies. They sure as shit don't want any lawsuits and the zero tolerance policy sucks but you gotta live with it. I'd still rather be unemployed than dead.
