Ugh @ Pep Boys

[cydewaze]

I went into Pep Boys tonight to pick up my gallon jug of #34 (online places wanted way too much to ship it) and I noticed that they had a couple of W68 rotary buffing pads for sale, and an entire collection of Soft Buff NON-2.0 pads right next to them. After reading the post about backing plates that Mr. Stoops wrote, I now know that this is not an ideal match-up.

So I grabbed the manager and tried to explain that customers coming in and buying a W68 backing plate with 7000, 8000, and 9000 pads were getting the wrong match-up (and will likely blame the product when the pad flies off), and I could tell pretty quickly I was wasting my time. He nodded and looked around while I was explaining it, obviously waiting for me to go away.

Oh well. I tried.

Most of those people are clueless!! I went to PB's as well before to purchase stuff and literally have to check and research everything on my iPhone one the store because of there lack of knowledge towards their products they carry. I had to return the mild clay once because it was white not blue. Someone swapped the packaging. I bought and returned an eraser wheel because there was no 3/8 drill chuck in there. Mike should call their store. Lol
