A cheerful Mother’s Day Story:
2N: Hi, I got a flat tire over the weekend. I’d like to replace it.
Rapist Tire Guy: Which tire?
2N: The front passenger.
RTG: Okay I’ll go have a look. Those are pretty common tires so it shouldn’t be a problem.
2N: Great thanks!
(Interlude: 10 minutes)
RTG: Okay, sure those are real common ones. Both the front ones need to be replaced, actually.
2N: Right, except right now I just want to do the one that’s flat.
RTG: (Perusing computer screen) Hmmm. Hmmm. Well, that will be $254.00.
2N: I’m sorry?
RTG: $254.00.
2N: No, no, I just wanted the one.
RTG: That is just the one.
2N: Wait, you’re telling me it’s $254 for one tire? One “very common” tire?
RTG: Yes.
2N: How are you going to tell me that one tire is $254? That is ridiculous.
RTG: I’m sorry ma’am, that’s the best we can do.
2N: Well no wonder your store is empty. See ya.

Moral of the story: Les Schwab loves mothers more than Firestone does.
