I went in for a spark plug for my lawn mower. The computer said to grab a certain one which I did. The spark plug didn’t fit so I went back in and told the same clerk who sold it to me that it didn’t fit. I asked if I could exchange it for another one which he said I couldn’t which was fine. I asked him to search his computer again to see if we can find a match when all of a sudden another store employee who I guess was a manager walked over and interrupted our conversation and said rudely to the store employee and I quote “what we are not going to do is take that back”. My wife and the store employee both told her we weren’t asking for that and she walked away so my wife told her to mind her business and do her job because she HAD no idea what was going on with us. She was a white lady with dark brown aqua net resistant hair and a BAD ATTITUDE! Thankfully there’s a AUTO ZONE 300ft away. WILL NOT SPEND MY MONEY IN HERE AGAIN

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.
