Guess what I discovered today? I found that there is a way to get not one but TWO FREE oil changes at your local Wal-Mart.
Honest, it's really pretty easy! Just follow these easy instructions:
- Take vehicle to the Wal-Mart Tire and Lube Express (also known as TLE) and request an oil change- be sure to get the All Point Service- you do want to get your moneys worth.
- Ask the attendant how long you will have to wait- you do need to shop while you are there- you've planned carefully.- A hour wait- that seems pretty reasonable- not too hard to kill an hour at Wally World.
- Take your time while shopping- give them a few extra minutes just in case things get a little busy.
- Return to TLE department to inquire about your vehicle- is it ready yet? How much longer might the wait be?
- Try to hide your amazement when you are told your vehicle is actually ready for you.
- Stand patiently at TLE counter while check out associate locates your paper work and begins searching for your key.
- Shift from one foot to the other- still patiently- as said associate begins to frantically search for your key.
- Listen as associate speaks to 4 other associates who all then begin searching for your key.
- Continue to remain calm as one associate states that he gave your key to another associate who has apparently LEFT FOR HIS LUNCH BREAK
- Notice the sympathetic looks that other customers are beginning to give you.
- Listen as associates begin paging the
IDIOTassociate that has walked out of Wal-Mart with your key in his pocket. - Listen as that same associate is called on his cell phone and realize he's not going to answer because he is on his lunch break.
- Begin to feel a bit of panic as you realize you may never see your key again.
- Listen as the locksmith is called and you are told he can be there in ONE AND A HALF to TWO HOURS and make a new key for you.
- Take purchases out to your car, unload them and tell associates
where they can shove the key when they find itthat you are going to get a bite to eat and will be back shortly. - Return to the TLE department after a delicious lunch at Blimpe -receive your key back as the
friggin' idiotassociate that had your key in his pocket walks by laughing as another associate asks him about the key. - Remain as polite as possible- smile- and gladly accept the paperwork for your FREE current oil change and next FREE oil change!!!
Maybe I'm just a sucker polite southern girl- but they had best be glad I took my Lexapro this morning!!!!!!
