I placed a, “pickup in store,” order. I had a young man, 15 years old, pick up the order since he was doing the repair. He asked an employee, Marco, if it was the correct part. Marco told him no and printed out the correct one. Instead of simply giving him the correct one through an exchange, he told the young man there was nothing he could do and he would have to purchase the correct one. I went to the store, on Braddock in Annandale, and Marco was rude and condescending from the beginning. There was a miscommunication between me and the young man. I thought I ordered the correct part but the store gave him the wrong part. The issue really arose when I asked him why he let a young man walk out with the wrong part when he asked if it was the correct one. He continued to speak very loudly saying, “There is nothing I can do. You made the mistake and ordered the wrong part,” which I wasn’t questioning. I did in fact order the wrong part. I was questioning his lack of moral code and knowledge of company policy when he allowed a customer to walk out of the store with the incorrect part despite his job being to advise customers. He went against company policy because the return policy is unopened items within 45 days. The part in question was a headlight bulb, which is not included on their list of items that are not returnable. He could have easily swapped the incorrect part for the right one. The employee claimed to be a manger, but he displayed zero leadership skills or qualities of a an effective manager. I hope the company considers sending him back to a leadership training before allowing him to remain in his current role.

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.
