The only thing I hated about being hourly was the random stuff I had to do when there was no work. Could have the floors sparkly clean beforehand, restocked the inventory shelves, cleaned up my areas, and still wasn’t allowed to sit on my butt or I’d get sent home. I understand it, but still. I’d always just choose a lift or tire machine and clean it spotless until work rolled in.

Flat rate guys just need to work for themselves. If you’re not willing to do oil changes to find your own work, when it’s slow. Go home and take your box with you.

I’m on flat rate, I told the manager, I don’t mind to do an oil change, it’s easy, the thing I mind it’s the fking courtesy check, thats a BS, but we do to cover our ass for the cheaters customers.

Then the used car advisor pulls a used car in your bay and tells you the customer is coming to look at it in 15 minutes and it’s a 2015 that’s got 185000 miles on in
