Sassy guy at the cashier this afternoon. Asking too many questions just because I said I didn't need the $1 brake grease ?? Super disrespecful and insistent. On top of that Asking for my ID to exchange some brake pads I didn't open I just needed to exchange them for the front instead of the back.

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.
