well i dont want to sound like a "Disgruntled Employee" but its gonna sound that way. as i recall saying before thank you for all of you that came to the store to get your gear. Well i was able to get all DDR Members a simple 10% discount so that all of you could try to support local shops instead of going on line. well here is my message to all of you. well the parts manager decided to recend that offer, (apparently it came off the top of her check) I fought it untill they threatened me with my job. so I couldnt pursue the matter any further. their excuse was...that "DDR is just a website, they are not real riders, they are not a real 'Group' " so there went the discount.
then about a week later i picked up "KensColors" tires that he had already ordered and payed for, i brought them to his house, (he does live across the street from my brother in law) so i had someone pick them up in the computer and print a receipt and then i brought them to Ken. (apparently i was accused of stealing them, until i had to prove my innosence).
i was treated rather rudly by their so called expert parts manager and asst manager on a daily basis, so i dont feel that i need to be treated that way. after all i sold more a month for the last 3 months than anyone. but that is ok. on that note, iam very opinionated, so if your feelings are hurt easily or you get butt hurt easy...dont ask.
the company has a 40% + mark up on all parts, refuse to give a rider or racer any discount, no matter how much you spend, they are all in it for themselves. the company gets pretty much free shipping due to the fact that they have almost 30 stores, yet they charge shipping on everything, so once again they are making more and more money for themselves. they purposly cheat everyone, there are only about 2 guys in parts that actually know what they are doing, and that dosent say much.
I was told this morning that my services were no longer needed.....not due to lack of performance, but due to "Sarcasim".....yes my snide comments is what pissed them off. i knew it was coming, so i had already lined up my old job doing ATV Tours. today was my last day no matter what.
Iam not doing this to be spite full.....ok maybe a bit....but the main reason for this was due to what the assistant manager actually told me..
Hoz: "no one gets a discount, not even your DDR Guys"
Me: "why?"
Hoz: " because we own everystore there is....we can charge what we want.....where else are they all gonna go?"
Me:......"Duhhhhh welcome to 2006 there is the internet ya know"
Hoz: " Dosent matter, they will get tired of it and come here, people are lazy and they wont want to wait, and they wont go out of town"
Me: (thinking)...uh huh....wait till i get a keyboard in front of me...."ok sure Hoz, whatever you say"
these coporations dont care about the sport, your loyalty, or your love of the ride...all they care about is your money that they will suck from your wallet, they dont care about how much you spend, or who you are...just ask Bill Plise, bought over 100K in motorcyles in one year......so to sume it up...i left the company today, iam going back to do ATV Tours. take this as a warning to all who shop there.
