Car Washes and Insults
I know that I will probably catch some flack on this – at least for a temporary lack of good judgment but here goes ….. :o
Yesterday was a nice day in the afternoon, it started to warm up and the sky was blue with big puffy white clouds. I decided to sneak out of work a little early and catch the local car wash before they closed at 6:00 PM. I just felt a little lazy. ;) I got there about 20 minutes before closing and asked for the VIP wash….. $21.95. I have used this place on occasion in the past with no problems whatsoever. Unfortunately, they have recently undergone a change or ownership and of on-site management. Not for the better.
After my car comes out and is lined up for the wipe down, I walked over to pop the trunk so that the tray could be wiped down. I notice that there are still spots all over the trunk lid, the hood and the roof. What a crappy wash. :eek: I was gonna have them run it back through the drive through to pick up what they missed on the first go around. The MM was dirty … but not THAT dirty. Then this exchange happened with one of the “employees”.
I pointed out the spots and dirty areas and the guy actually blames ME. He said that the car needed a good coat of “Wox”. I told him that the car had been “woxxed” 2 weeks ago. Then he proceeded to tell me that the car was not too shiney and that I didn’t do a good job. :mad: I was being insulted at the car wash. But what pissed me off most was that my Marauder, my baby was actually being insulted too. What a crock. After wiping down Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas all day, this guy decided to insult a real car. I took it VERY personally as if he just said my wife and all my kids were UGLY. :shake: Bastige.
I calmly told the azzhat to get the H3LL away from my car :mad2: and I jumped in and just took off. They have permanently lost a customer and any family and friends that might go there. I suspect that they are headed down the tubes before long.
My wife thinks that it is very funny that I get so upset about the car. She knows how I try to take care of it. This incident bothered me all last night. Sonsabiatches.
Tomorrow the MM gets a hand wash and a nice “wox” job. That’s what I should have done anyway. :rolleyes:
