Or learn to change your own oil, and own the market.
I know how but at $20 for having it done it is stupid for me to frick with it.

Costco sells the 1.50 hot dog/drink combo to get people in the door.
Can’t say I mind that too much.

Where can I get a $20 oil change, seriously? I can’t find any under $85.00 for a 2016 GMC Sierra using synthetic.

Had one competitor who operated his business at a very low margin. I had to beat him on quality and service.
Turns out he was laundering cash for his gambling and drug profits instead of trying to turn a profit.
Yeah I might have been your competitor but you weren't mine.

New car that needs 0W-20 and they only have synthetic oil in that type?
I don't buy much 0w 20 but I don't think it scientifically possible for it not to be synthetic

Why can't I just pay you a fair price for an oil change and not be bothered?
Is someone forcing you to go to the cheap oil change place?
No, you're looking for a bargain. Go elsewhere and "pay a fair price"

I'm just annoyed that we live in a world where most things cost more than advertisements would lead you to believe. As in, you have to read the fine print on damn near everything. Even on something as simple as an oil change
Sorry that you can't blithely skip through life and that you must pay attention. if the truth were known, this probably some facet of your business that people would find to be less than up front. I understand what you're posting about but I think you're being childish.
I like your screen man though.

Goddamn, I love when a thread doesn't go the way it did in OP's head.

Now apparently they don't stock 0W-20 in anything other than the premium
Tell them no thanks.
Easy as that
Anywhere offering a $20 oil change should be avoided. I pay around $90 using high quality synthetics.

Way more trouble than it's worth. Speaking of, oil change places harass the frick out of women. I changed her air filter recently and they told her she needed a new one repeatedly. frickers
Find a reputable garage, even if you pay more for oil changes. They keep detailed records of everything and you'll likely come out better in the long run

With Costco, the margin is in the membership fee, so anything that drives membership and renewals wins.

What store did Same Walton open?
Posted on 2/27/19 at 5:08 pm to cahoots
Walmart sells high volume at a low margin. What you're talking about is a bait and switch. You hate bait and switch.

And I blame same walton. I'm not going to qualify that
This concept was first used in China in the 1600s, a little before Sam Walton's time.
"Bait-and-switch is used in retail sales but also employed in other contexts. First, customers are "baited" by merchants' advertising products or services at a low price, but when customers visit the store, they discover that the advertised goods are not available, or the customers are pressured by sales people to consider similar, but higher priced items ("switching").
