[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP.  Here is how my appointment went after I posted here.

I leave Costo in my newly-tired car.  I get home. I park it in the driveway.  It’s not road legal – the reason for the new tires is that it failed inspection on the tires.  So I had a special paper in the car for when you fail for a reason, and you have two weeks to get it fixed.  If you get pulled over on the way to get it fixed, you show the paper.  But I don’t drive this car otherwise, until the new inspection sticker gets on it.  This will be important later.

Phone rings.

Costco: your car is ready to be picked up
Me: my car is in my driveway
Costco: why do we have your key then?
Me: You don’t my key is here
Costco:  Do you have two keys?
Me: Well, yes
Costco: and do you know where the second one is?
Me:  Um, no not right now
Costco: You left your extra key here.  Come back and pick up your key.
Me:  OK.

I really don’t want to drive back across town on a Saturday to the circus that is Costo but, I go back.  This time I drive my newer, road-legal car.

I walk around the Costco, nobody can help me, eventually find a technician in the tire bay who is really busy but, I tell him my name and I’m there for the key they called me about.  He doesn’t know, but he gets another guy.  Who doesn’t know, but he gets another guy.  Who doesn’t know, but the manager is not here today.  But they finally find the key and bring it out, and the guy says, “OK take me to your car so you can prove this is your key”.

Me:  YOU called ME.  YOU said you had my key and to come get it.  How many spare cars do you have here today that you don’t know what key goes to them?  I didn’t drive my illegal car back here – you didn’t tell me to.  You just told me to come get this key!

Costco:  Well we can’t give you the key if we don’t see first that it works in your car.

So I leave.

The Costco employee drives to my house.  He takes this key, gets in my car.  Car won’t start.  It’s not my key.  Costco guy leaves.

Next day, my phone rings.  It’s Costco:  Your car is here and ready to be picked up. !!!

I liked your story too.  I kind of want you to have more bad adventures out in the world and then post about it here because the way you wrote all this is hilarious![/quote]
