the voices told me to
idiots who shouldnt have a car
i was in supercheap lakehaven saturday. this woman comes in and askes the young girl for oil for her car and a filter. the girl asks what type of car. the woman says i dont know i just want some oil. the girl asks is it a holden, ford , or what. the reply was who cares i just want oil. the girl then asks is the car outside and the woman replies no its underneath. i go wtf????? the girl will be bald from pulling out her hair with idiots like that. she told the woman to go out to her car, look at the back and write down all the badges on it. turns out its a hyundai. she then asked what year. the answer , your just being difficult. im going else where and she stormed out.
i asked her does she have this problem much. she shook her head and said too often. now this girl knows cars so its not her. this woman shouldnt even have a car neverlone a license
i do as the voices tell me
Hahaha that's retarded. I've never had that problem at the motorbike shop i work at. luckily.
Donati..Whoa Green
Give the women some two-stroke oil, or some tranny/diff oil. That'll bloody show here.
"You gave me the wrong oil", "You asked for oil and thats exactly what I gave you".

what i wanna know is how she knew she was due a service in the first place O.o
..stay N/A..
I worked at supercheap for a while, its ridiculous the amount of people coming in and not knowing basic information like model and make of the car. Very frustrating!
hahahhahaaaaaa

Last time i was at supercheap they had really good service. A lady came in and said 'i need a new indicator globe' reply: 'sure what kind of globe?' ...i don't know....i thought they were all the same??? as the convo went on she knew nothing about what kind of globe it took so the bloke behind the desk took his trusty screwdriver out to the carpark and had a look for her. Anyway, just little things like this IMO make people want to come back, good stuff
PS: Just thought i'd share that with you all.

Everytime i've gone in and asked a supercheap staff member for the simplest things i've been met with a blank stare.
They all seem to be 17yr douche bags here. Think they know everything but have no idea.
Bloody Richo
Bet she was from Gorokan Drive and she knew she needed oil by the size of the puddle on her drive. LOL lakehaven sooooo full of mental junkies and their wigged out parents
Making and running DUAL CHIPPED ECU SINCE 2010
I work at Repco, I get this shit all the time. Unfortunately, being a young fella, I often get thrown into the stereotype mentioned by "Soop."
Although once people actually deal with me, they realise I'm not quite the same as the rest of the younger kids.
Dude the other week comes up to me. "I need wheel cylinders for (Some type of older Falcon, can't recall the model)....For the drum brakes."
I say, kinda jokingly "I'd be worried if you were trying to replace wheel cylinders on a car without drums."
He laughed, and said "Ahh, you know what you're on about, that's good. Unlike most fellas your age these days."
But yeah, I have PLENTY of stories of retarded customers. After working at Repco for over 2 years now, I have accumulated quite a few stories.
One time, some dude needed a timing kit for a Lancer or something. "Which engine is it?"
"Oh...I don't know."
"1.5? 1.6? 1.8? Twin cam? Single cam?"
"I don't know...hold on, I'll call my wife to get her to count the spark plugs!" he exlaims, as though it's some type of genius idea.
"Er, that won't help, they're all 4 cylinder..."
Then I had some dude get all angry at me because he apparently had a V6 VL.
He needed a rocker cover gasket, and he was adamant that it was a V6 so it's not like I could just give him the RB30 one.
"Okay, so it's DEFINITELY a VL?"
"Yes."
"DEFINITELY the standard 3 litre motor?"
"Yes!"
"If it's the standard 3 litre, 6 cylinder motor, it's the RB30 Nissan engine, which is a straight 6."
"NO! It's a V6!"
"Okay, so then it's not a VL, and it's not a 3 litre. Are you sure it's not a VN or later model with the 3.8 V6?"
"NO, IT'S A VL, AND IT'S A 3.0 V6!"
He got all frustrated and pulled out his qualified mechanic card, telling me how he's a mechanic so he would know the difference between a straight or V motor. Yeah, obviously he didn't in this instance.
He left without buying anything, needless to say, but I would give my left nut to see his reaction when he got home, popped his bonnet and saw a straight motor, or realised it wasn't actually a VL.
Evil is always around you
There are people who should not have cars let alone being allowed to have a license and drive.
Then there are people wo should never reproduce and should have surgery to make it so....
Like this lady that once asked me for some oil for her car, I said are you joking, she said yes. I asked what oil would you like, she said any will do and how much do you need, she said a litre will do.... so I gave her 1ltr of vegtable oil from the deep fryer.
(I was working @ Maccas at the time @ a Shell servo......)
This guy did look about thirty.
I cop this alot Aswell and my other favorite thing is the Caboolture Supercheap Super store Doesn't have the most basic of parts for Commodores like a Vs tie rod End or a bottom radiator hose for an Ecotech when questioned about this they say they dont stock them but they can order them in and even get this wrong(I got asked Did I want a left or right hand tie rod end once ) ,but All is not lost because they sell pushbikes,racing car sets and home DVD players so I can always keep my self amused waiting for my parts
Slayer of Stupid Threads
...or what she was going to do with it when she got home.
Yeah the chicks at the counter seem to know a lot more than the guys that work there.
I know the feeling . I went in a while back and asked for a auto transmission filter and gasket set for my VX . When i asked for some oil for it as well the girl asked if it was an auto or manual.
there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't
Make the stupid stop!
I am with Soop, had a couple of young lads from different auto shops who are useless. One shop offered free wiper blade fitting. I had to help him in the end, had no idea. There is a store a bit further away from me who have the more mature (over 30) salespersons so I go there now. Rather the extra drive than deal with some kid whose barely has pubes and probably can't even drive!
Kicker - Livin' Loud :)
Thank you soop i thought it was just me...but they are so dumb and i ask for help and they look at me like a dumbass...
thumbs down to shep supercheap
Donati..Whoa Green
I haven't had any real issues with the workers at Deception Bay Supercheap, but then again it is Deception Bay. The kids probably grew up dismantling stolen cars.

I went into Repco here in shepp and asked for an air filter for an LS1.
Guy looked at me and said "is that the chev?"
I felt like being a smart arse and said no, he replied "nah we don't have them ones mate"
Went to autobarn and was done within 5mins.
I was in super cheap the other day looking for a service manual and noticed that a guy was basically going full mechanic on some girls car but not in a retarded way because she was like I think this might be stuffed so he was checking the plugs and what not for her. I was some what impressed but she was half decent so that might have contributed to his extra effort.
