only at canadian tire can you take an alternator in with you set it on the counter and tell the parts guy this is what you need and them try to give you the wrong one. how hard is it to figure out when its right infront of you? Obviously their employees were to stupid they didnt even make it through kindergarten playing spot the differences!!!!!!
Are you saying that any alternator can be put in front of you, and you immediately know which vehicle it fits? Hats off to you if that's the case.
You are twisting this poster's words around. Are you perhaps a representative of Crappy Tire? Those joker are notorious for these types of antics on this site.
Nobody is claiming that they have the ability to "immediately know which vehicle" an alternator is for, just by looking.
And nobody said they asked The Parts Guy to do this, either.
What the customer did, to make The Parts Guy's task even easier, what to ALSO bring in the original part. This way, the Parts Guy could be 100% sure he obtained the right part for the customer.
The point is, even with all these extra clues, Parts Guy still failed.
The worst thing is that Parts Guys seem to have a bad track record, where they "try to give you the wrong one", even when it's obvious that it's wrong one.
Based on other stories posted here, the Parts Guys also give people are hard time on exchanges, even when the Parts Guy made the mistake.
A very useful pointer for consumers: if you can, take the original part with you, to make sure they give you the right part. This way you can avoid the whole exchange/refund fight.
It was just a question. Wasn't sure if the guy left with the wrong part without looking or if he dropped a part on the counter and expected a kid to guess which one of the hundreds of alternators looked like his. Plus what kind of nimrod makes a comment as to what happened without being there. That's why I asked the question. Duh!
Bullshit.
If you wanted to know the answer to any of those specific questions, you could have asked. But you didn't.
Your rhetorical question misrepresents the situation, and makes the customer sound unreasonable.
Your response to being challenged on your bullshit, is to pretend you weren't being a sarcastic ass.
Are you one of those CT defenders, who prowl this site looking to harrass customers who have already been victimized in the store? Just a question.
Jerk.
Bullshit.

Here we see the typical approach of CT Rep’s towards customers.
Do the store rep's apologize for their poor performance? Of course not.
Do they take this opportunity to learn from their errors? No way.
If a customer dares to complain about the store's bad attitudes or poor service, they will make sacrastic comments.
If you persist, they will resort to calling you names and telling lies to you, and about you.
If you don't back down, or request that your rights be respected, their next step is usually to "fire" you as a customer.
If this happens in the store, they might even issue a trespass notice, just because you stood up for yourself.
None of this should be surprising, based the way they’ve behaved on this thread.
Better to not even give them the benefit of your business - they clearly don't deserve it.
'Friends Don't Let Friends Shop at Canadian Tire'
I suspect you've been fired as a customer and been given a trespass notice for being a pain in the ass. It doesn't count as standing up for yourself if you're a jerk. Just for the record, the world doesn't owe you.
Actually, I was standing up for another consumer who posted here. Moron.
I didn’t describe being “a jerk”, CT Liar. Only “complain”, “persisting” (despite bad attitudes or poor service, and then sarcasm), and “not backing down” or “requesting” something reasonable.
You sound like a typical CT Liar.
Maybe you can get some more ideas from the list of frequently told CT Lies:
"https://www.canadiantiresucks.net/g...y-do-ct-defenders-post-so-many-lies-here.html"
Nobody said the world owed them – that’s just another lie you made up. Liar.
But customers who have been wronged by a retailer are at least owed an apology.
So are consumers who have been lied about on this site.
