Worst experience i have ever had in my life. Friday night on August 22 I walk to the register to check out and the manager or assistant manager whatever he is hes literally throwing a temper tantrum like he needs his diaper changed and mommy isn't there to do it. He's cussing the entire time because his computer won't work and then keeps throwing the phone at the computer. By the time I go to leave and then go back in and tell him this is the worst service ive ever had in my life i wont be buying anything from there anymore then I ask for his boss name and he puts his hands on me jerks me up by my shirt and pushes me out the door then his little buddy that was working with him hurrys up and shuts the door back. We both call the police and they dont do anything they said oh theres nothing we can do theres no cameras. Really? No cameras right at the front door where it happen at thats a joke just like the people that work there is this how you treat your customers what a disgrace this guy is he makes the whole store look bad. Who ever the owner is of this store I want you to contact me immediately I have never in my life been treated this way at any other store. I would be embarrassed to have that guy work for me much less put my trust in him to deal with customers this guy should be fired immediately

Husband just went into this store and saw a sign with a sales tag on it. He grabbed 4 cans took to counter and they gave a high total. He told them about the sign and went over to it. They said oh that's not for this item. And told my husband they didn't like his attitude and to get out of his store. Apparently it was the assistant manager Jeremiah Johnson. Clearly you see the cans above the 2 for $10. 4118 Fort Henry Dr in Kingsport

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.
