Doh, i missed out on the rewards card. Good suggestion though. I wonder if since I bought a pile yesterday that they might still honor it. I saved all the receipts.
Howdy: I completely know what you mean. I went to 7 different stores and I got so familiar with them that I knew where to look. I remember one store where I asked the cashier, she yelled over to the manager.. "Hey we got anymore of dese?" I dont think he even looked up before saying "No".
First AZ I went to I asked the guy if they had cases and if so how many. He asked me how many I need and grinned when I told him 12. Unfortunately they only had the singles on the shelf. Thats pretty much how the story went at all the stores I checked.
Towards the end of my search, I just kind of starting walking in the back room and perusing for cases of elves unescorted. If there was anyone back there, I would present the question and assist in the search.
I was unable to find one boxed case at all 7 stores. Count at the end of today was 87 quarts. I found some older bottles too in the back of the line, but it was still green.
I really had a fun time searching for them. Many people asked me when I had a couple good pulls of 20 or 30 quarts in one store, "man what you need all that oil for?"
There was even a young female store clerk named Rachael that started to flirt with me. After letting her know the stature of GC, she told me she drove a german car and thought maybe she should switch to GC. Figuring she didnt get paid a ton of $ as a cashier, I ruled out Mercedes, Audi and BMW.. Replied "Volkswagen?" I also let her know that I cleaned her store out of their entire 20 quart stock of GC and she seemed hurt.. but oh well. Maybe I'll go back to that store for filters soon
Was a fun day though. Many people thought I was a complete freak. Including my neighbor.. "wait.. you bought how much?" I also told my friends later at a party, which by the way another girl was listening and also became intrigued and invited me to go with her to the store to pick something up.
Not only does GC protect your engine, it impresses all the girls!
