dear chains looks like someone from les schwab is going to be having a training moment aside from the - "ok go fit the tire to chains to the tire" episode from the supervisor - i hope they handle it well -- this could be the catalyst that energizes them into being amazing -- i have a friend who often says to the business after an episode like this - "so how much are you going to pay me?" the business' worker looks at him incredulously - asking what is he on about -- my friend then goes on to say - i just gave you an invaluable training moment that will likely go on to be the example looked at by the whole company .... alas the problem is that - unless this Les Schwab "helper" is unusual he will likely get huffy when the boss tries to point out to him the teachings from this moment -- these things are all on the training videos - should be part of orientation -- happy driving and i hope you never have to unpackage your chains oh oh -- one last thing -- get your self about a dozen chain links to do quick repairs -- you can order on line but i suggest a trip to an industrial tool shop like Grainger to get the right fit (just paste this link in browser) https://www.grainger.com/search?searchQuery=thread-locking%20quick%20links&&searchBar=true&suggestConfigId=7&ts_optout=true regards On Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 6:28 AM, David McNeely <davmcneely40@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks to all who advised me concerning tire chains for my 1991 Volkswagen > Vanagon GL Campmobile. > > Even though I now had not only the tire size, but the product number (thank > you Roger), when I went back to Les Schwab, they still tried to insist that > the size they sold me first was the one I needed, because that's what their > computer said.
