I thought this would be a quick visit. I ended up leaving with nothing. I came in for an item. Sale stickers were up 2 for a specific price. When I was rung up, the price was almost double. I told the cashier, he went over to look. When he came back I was told, "oh well he put the stickers up, but the sale doesn't start until tomorrow and I can't change the price." I cannot believe that this location does not honor their prices that are visibly marked, early or late. I will not be back to this location nor will I recommend this location to anyone.

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.
