On Sunday, I decided to get my car washed to kill some time while I was waiting for some clothes I was donating to dry. I go to a car wash called Auto Pride in Palo Alto. I like them because they offer many grades of service. I like the platinum package. I think it is a good deal for the money.
Now while waiting for my car, some jackass in a BMW Z4 was causing a scene. He went up to the manager and wanted to kow why only one person was working on his car drying it, washing the windows and such while five people were working on a Nissan Sentra. Apparently he thought that since he had a more expensive car, he should get better service. The manager politely said to him “Sir, you bought the basic package. The owner of the Nissan purchased the Platinum package. In the future might I suggest you purchase the Platinum package? You will receive the same service that the Nissan is currently receiving.”
The guy did not like that answer and started to swear at the manager but then promptly shut up. Although we were in Palo Alto, the Menlo Park police showed up. They were there just to get there car washed but it shut that jackass up. He went over to the chair beside me and sat down muttering about the service. So sometimes the cops are there when you actually need them
After a few minutes, my car was finished so I causuially strolled over and took possesion of it while looking back at the jackass throwing a fit because he was too damn cheap to purchase the platinum package but apparently not too cheap since he blew a shitload of money on a new Z4.
