I initially called looking for 22 inch Chrome wheels for my Tahoe. A nice gentlemen told me that they didn't have any Chrome in store at the moment, and I told him that there was one I saw online and didn't want to just purchase them without seeing them first. Since they didn't have any in stock, the guy told me he'd order them and let me know when they come in so that I can come see them in person before I bought them online. By the way, I am a cash customer.
About 3 weeks later, they finally came in, but I had called every week checking, and Matt told me that they were there and offered for me to come on in to look at them and get them installed. I told him by the time i'd make it there it would be almost closing, i'm coming from out of town, and he said he'd schedule me for the next day, Friday, at 5:30, and that Keith would take care of me.
So I arrived at 5:30 the next day and was not greeted with kindness at all. Matter of fact, I was greeted with "Tell me how this happened, how did you get someone to order wheels without a deposit"? Like it was my fault. I don't know, I just said I wanted to see them before I bought them and the guy ordered them. He then walks off and says "If she doesn't like them she's stuck with them"... or it was that he said "Or we're stuck with them"...he said it as he walked off. I followed him and asked "What did you say"? and he said nothing, come look at them. Unfortunately, the guy ordered black and not chrome. This even more so annoyed him, and maybe the annoyance was warranted, but not towards the customer. He walked off again, I followed him outside and initiated another conversation with him and he said "Well I don't know what's going on, you haven't even done an application"... I said "I don't need one, I am cash". He said "well see, that's the thing, I don't know what's going on, we need to have a conversation."
You guessed it, he went back inside, I did too, and he told me I could come back the next day if I wanted those ones because he doesn't know anything about my 5:30 appointment and didn't see it in the system.
I was cordial the entire time, because at the end of the day, the only money I lost was the gas I put in my vehicle to drive to Waco. They now have to sell those wheels. They're nice, go get them. I was going to order them online, in chrome, but since he was rude and kept walking off and acting as if I was in the wrong, I will not return. Take that out on the guy who ordered them and the guy who told me he set my appointment, not me. I just showed up.
1 star for the guy who placed the order for me so that I could see them in person
1 star for the guy who set my appointment because I really think he actually did
and -3 "No Thank yous" as I won't be returning.
