It's funny. I am in the car business and when my oil change prices raise and other services because the price of the product increases I am instantly an a$$hole and people demand discounts. I think I am in one of the only businesses where our price is nego. I wish I could go to the grocery store or Amazon and order something but then argue to pay less for it and hold a survey over your head too.

You got that Right! I am a diesel technician, most customers want my labor discounted and argue, refuse to pay, threaten to call the owner, etc. I wish that worked, at the Dr., the grocery store, the gas pump. Why is it that people think all mechanical is negotiable?

And here’s the 100 reasons why I can’t pay you. I think we here more horrible things then psychologists do.

If we can’t fix it for nothing , or under $100-$200 their life is ruined. They are the victim. Everyone is a victim now. If i got a dollar for every ‘you don’t understand’ i’d be a billionaire. :)

It’s your fault and issue that their car/truck broke. Even if you’ve never met them. Lol.

Rare to have anyone say thank you anymore too.

Has always been a tough business, but past 10-15 yrs has been brutal.

Rant over.

I get customers that cry, and claim they have to have their equipment back asap, or they will go broke. THEY have a business to run and times are hard right now. So you bump them up line, bust ass and get their piece of equipment back to them as soon as humanly possible, then they ***** about the bill and refuse to pay. And yes, never a thank you.

You got one heck of a tough job for sure, my diesel techs are worth their weight in gold and then some. I'm a service director for a Ford shop, I'm nobody's friend right now lol.

I was in Orange County, Commufornia yesterday. $6.70 a gallon for Premium at the Chevron station. Filled up two cars this week. Over $100 each time.

Proof! This is all engineered.

Biden made the following statement on gas prices during a joint press conference with Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday.

"Here’s the situation. And when it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over," Biden said, seeming to justify or praise those sky-high prices Americans face at the pump.

Biden's comments come amid a stretch of record-high gas prices which the American Automobile Association says is "unprecedented."

These people have no interest in what's best for the American people. I know I'm preaching to the choir, it's just infuriating.
