Oh HELL NO! This gone be long, but it's going to make your blood boil.
Where to even start? So my car battery died. It's the desert. It happens. I found it dead about 3:30pm. I have to scramble. I am in a weird situation because my wife is immunocompromised. I have to, at all costs, avoid getting covid-19, because giving it to her would basically kill her. This sill come into play soon.
I am freaking about the battery because she has doctors she has to go to and I have to take her. She can't drive for medical reasons. I MUST GET A BATTERY. I found that AutoZone delivers batteries the same day if you order by a certain time. I think it was 6pm. Anyway, I ordered before 5:50pm.
Within probably 20 minutes, I got an email saying my delivery was on the way. Well, it wasn't. They have this app that shows you where the driver is. It shows the picture of the driver and their name. So, it showed the guy and his name and said he'd be here in like 17 minutes.
I looked a bit later and it was a different guy and it said he would be here in I think 12 minutes. You can see on the map where their car is. I was watching it. Well, some time went by. I looked at the app. Now it's a third person. A female. Ok, I thought to myself. This is interesting. It said she was I don't know 7 minutes away or something. She wasn't. Awhile later, A FOURTH PERSON! She was 17 minutes away. I could tell by looking at the map that she was at the AutoZone I had ordered the battery from. I kept looking and it kept saying 17 minutes for awhile. I looked a bit later. It said she was 2 minutes away. She wasn't. For over 90 minutes, it was saying she was in the same place, 2 minutes away. By now it's getting to be about 8pm. The app has a little widget where you can "text the driver". I did. Asked if she was lost? I knew she wasn't because the place on the map where it said she was for like 90 minutes, is somewhere where there is nothing. It's the middle of a street where you can't just stay. No houses, the street is lined by a wash and on the other side are businesses. I have yet to receive an answer from the driver and it's over 90 minutes since I texted.
Anyway. I called the store. Asked them what was happening. The guy who answered acted like he knew who I was because I said, "I ordered a battery to be delivered and, I explained to him the 4 different drivers and the weird map thing going on with the app. He replied in the most condescending and rude way, "Well what name is the order under." I told him, (My brother-in-laws name), because I used his credit card for the order. I stay at his house when he and my sister are away, so I can watch their dogs. So that's where I am and have been since my battery died. They are not around so they can't help me. Anyway, the guy says to me, (and you know how you can tell when someone is being a smart-ass on the phone), well, we don't have an order under that name. He didn't have time to check. He sad it immediately after I told him the name. I said, Ok check under (I gave him my name). He said to me, as if I was some kind of asshole, he says, "Well, that's not the name the order is under". MEANING, he knew who I was, knew the name on the credit card AND knew that it was I who ordered the battery. HE HAD NO TIME TO CHECK. His answers were instant and he was having a good ol' time punishing me for the order name not being the same as the credit card. You know how you can tell on the phone when someone is being a jerk?
In the meantime, I said, "Where is the battery?" Long story short, hee TOLD ME the battery ain't coming. BECAUSE THE NAME ON THE ORDER WAS NOT THE SAME AS THE NAME O THE CREDIT CARD!
Guess what IS THE SAME? The billing address and the shipping address. BECAUSE THE CREDIT CARD AND THE HOME BELONG TO THE SAME PERSON!
The reason my name is on the order is because it's the name on my autozone rewards account. I don't log in under my bro in laws account. Capice?
I asked for a supervisor. He AGAIN VERY CONDESCENDING said, "I am the supervisor". The way he said it, I swear he might as well have said, "FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE!!!!". Because, that's what it sounded like. I said, Ok, who is your boss? He told me a name. I asked for a number. He gave it me. I said I would call her, and I hung up.
Of course her number went to voicemail, so I left a rather angry message. I don't usually do ANGRY. I usually start off nice and if I can't get something to happen, it escalates from there. I have worked MANY years in customer service and I am aware that honey attracts bees more than vinegar, so I like to treat people with respect. However, if they treat me like a child, or some kind of asshole, and don't take the time to listen to someone who is really in need of the service, I will go off!
So apparently there's a word limit on reviews. RESULT: I have no battery. My wife will miss a doctor's appointment for a screening that may save her life. She has waited 6 months to see this doc. read more
