Auto Zone

Today, I must honor Auto Zone, on route 22 of Union, NJ. Saturday, November 14, I got up to see a morning movie. As is my normal ritual, I stopped at a diner, along the way, to get a sandwich. When I returned to my car it wouldn’t start. After three turns of the key, I realized the battery was the problem. I should have got that new battery a month ago.
So, I walked across Route 22 to AutoZone and with a smile on my face, I explained my situation. One workers turned to his manager and said, «I’ve got to help him.» The manager made it clear that this was against company policy, but allowed him to help. After I purchased the battery, we crossed the street to my car. The installation was easy and the car started. Needless to say, I was grateful.
In the world of me, myself, and I attitudes and corporate hard lines, it’s nice to know that there are compassionate people ready to lend a helping hand. As long as those workers are there, AutoZone will be my go to place for automotive purchases. They showed the type of human compassion that is rare in a capitalist society.
