Not a sucky customer, but one that left me wondering about what goes on in his life.
Yesterday afternoon a 1996 Camry came in for an alignment. When I went out to it to take it on the pre-alignment test drive, I noted it seemed a little low in the back but that fact just didn't register at the time. Friday afternoon and all, thinking about my weekend off, beer, etc.
As I pulled it onto the alignment rack, the car scraped bottom. Ok. Then I realized it was sitting A LOT lower in the back than it should. Opened the trunk to take a look for dead bodies or illegal immigrants or a nuclear weapon. Yeah I know, I violate customers' 4th Amendment rights almost on a daily basis but only to help me repair their cars so hopefully I won't go to hell.
He did indeed have a lot of weight in the trunk. 10 40-pound cases of cat litter.
I unloaded it, aligned the vehicle, and loaded it back in the trunk. And advised him to put it somewhere other than the trunk of his Camry when he got home.
I've seen all kinds of crazy stuff in customers' cars but 400 pounds of cat litter?
