- JWJoAnn WeaverDec 12, 20251.0I just left this store and I have to say I have never experienced such an unprofessional place. I was not greeted when I walked in or asked if I could be assisted in any way. Instead all I heard was swearing & carrying on in the back. When I was ready to check out, I had to announce it to anyone that could hear me. Once someone approached to check me out, he was more interested in what everyone behind the counter was talking about. I don't even think I saw the front of his face, just the back of his head. It gave the vibe that women have no place in the store. I wasn't even offered a receipt. I would appreciate a call back from the store manager to discuss more. I'm by no means a timid woman that would let a person treat me in the way that he did. Fortunately for him I hadn't had my coffee. There was a very polite older gentleman that did greet me once he walked up front and I am in no way referring to him. Even the other customer in the store said hello. But not this bad seed. He needs a refresher in customer service.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
