Big O Douche

Ok so i got screwed over by a Big O Tire salesman. He lied to me and sold me a bad setup of 3 of one type of tire and 1 of the others. Is there anyway that i can get back at him or at least get my car to have a matching set of tires or something. Or get him out of the franchise just something to get one more ******* to stop ****ing over people. Anyone have any ideas? And is there anyone that can show me a professional opinion that says not to run 2 different tires on the rear of a car because it can be harmful to the car or the tires that way i can take something professional in and shove it in his face.
Thanks,
EngulfingFlame

For starters, go back and tell the salesman that you're unhappy. If he donesn't fix things, go to his boss or the store manager. If they don't fix things, contact the corporate mother ship. If all else fails, contact the "better business bureau" (sp) in your area. You might not ever be satisfied, but you can always raise a stink.

If you paid for four matching tires, then bring them bitches back. But heres some ideas.

1. Stab the mother ****er.

2. Steal his tires.

3. Steal his car.

4. Burn his shop to the ground.

5...... Id just stab the mother ****er, forget about 5.

whether you care who I am or not, I personally just thought that was a little out of hand. People have been banned for such things in the past. On topic, go the professional route and go up the ladder like CC suggested. Simply plead your case on the issue that you didn't get what you paid for.

Congratulations.
I'm glad the problem was taken care of. Bad Customer Service is the most detrimental thing to a business. You could have the best prices in the world but if you don't take care of your customer, they're going elsewhere.
FYI emo, we're a bit more lenient in the Off Topic section.
Doms comments were humorous
...and Petes suspension was warranted.

I can understand where your coming from, however I personally found it humorous, it was obviouly just a joke, had it been a serious threat, that would be a different story....

...can there be like #6 All of the Above?

Hell, I got banned on a Honda site!

I was posting to one guy in an off topic, Politics section and the Pro Bush 'administrator' butted in and started argueing with me.
Funny thing is that the guy i was posting to ended up agreeing with me and this 'administrator' still kept posting and argueing with me!

I guess he wanted the last word cause next thing I knew the entire thread vanished and I was banned.

IDIOT.

The Corvette forum I'm on seems cool... Go figure, it's the Honda Forum that has a REDNECK for an administrator.

Hehe, noone can REALLY ban you though, especially if you have access to lotsa different computers like I do at work.
Just to let him know He couldn't do crap to me, I created another screenname and told him off first.

Anyway,sticking to the topic.... Kudos to Engulfingflame for taking a stand and sticking it to the tiresalesman!
I really hate people who take advantage of others as much as those on a powertrip!

Zdriver.com... where banned posters come to rant!
