    Default Autozone.....Racist?

    I just (few mins ago) went to my local Autozone in Grayson to get few things, and upon finishing my trasaction the sales rep behind the counter goes, "Can I see your Mexican Registration Card." First i didn't understand what he said so i asked him to repeat it about 3 times and he said the same thing. To which i responded, "What do you mean my Mexican Registration Card? You should simply be asking me for my Drivers License. What are you trying to say?" He lost his words and started to say sorry. I got the manager over and as soon as she heard what he said, she told him to go away and offered me a free Armor All wipes to make up for his act. I simply refused and she kept on asking, "is there anything else i can do for you." I felt so out of place for a min when he said that, and i am not even Mexican. He was acting funny toward me as soon as i walked in and talking to him. Ignored me for good 2 minutes when i was standing rite infront of him and made eye contact and said hello. Somebody is about to get fired.

    that i can see...i mean that is understandable.....Autozone off Buford Hwy, crowd around there is the same and they don't really mean it when they say it. They talk in spanish for customer's convenience. This guy meant it and why the hell would you ask me for "Mexican Registration Card" when all you are required to ask is "May i see your ID." If i don't have proper ID then they can break it down by saying "do you have State ID, Military ID, etc".

    one time I went into Autozone getting some oil and the black girl at the register asked if I wanted an Autozone Rewards card

    I figured I would just get it for the hell of it

    I got it but I found it weird that she didn't ask for any additional info like my name, address, etc.

    anyway the next time I go to a diff. Autozone to use the Rewards card I looked down at the receipt and it said

    Thank you for shopping at Autozone,
    Chin Chan Chong

    I actually laughed really damn hard when I saw it

    I'm white and I am offended for you- that was such an out of place thing to say- what does it matter if you have a "MRC" to buy something at Autozone. It's not like you are buying a gun.

    Autozone is about to do a little banning of there own I think

    BTW- I would had my car hooked up if that happened to me- All sorts of free crap!!!

    He was out of line, but get over it.
    That's part of what is wrong with the world today.

    My opinion, take it or leave it. No offense either.
