Thank you for your comments. I think you have embodied the feelings of many of the haters who chose to make fun of me for suggesting this policy is pointless systemic discrimination against those who are not as smart or well-equipped technically or otherwise able to perform the extra steps required as others.

There is no disrespect intended to the employees you are very nice and who are apparently doing exactly what they are paid to do.

Yes,, I think I would agree completely.

I don't think that everything that is immoral or stupid should be prosecuted.

That said there are likely localities that would have ordinances they would be in violation of if they are enforcing this nationwide.

I would also point out the fact there are almost certainly corporate shills downvoting good comments on this thread points to a pattern of bullying.

Ok Chipotle, there is no way you didn't get corporate trolls to downvote this. This is an incontrovertible simple statement of reality and simply isn't something a warm blooded human person would downvote.This speaks volumes about your corporate culture.

Thank you. I'm not suggesting it was discrimination against him. He was lucky enough to be able to leave and get something good somewhere else and was okay with it. I am the one upset at how he was treated, particularly knowing it affects other people also.

I am saying it is a discriminatory practice and that it completely unnecessarily and without benefit to anyone marginalizes poor people and anyone not willing or able to install an app while they are checking out and go through a separate payment process.

Refusing to serve available kid's meals to in store customers without an app is immoral and insanely idiotic.

However, I'm not sure there would be enough members of a legally protected class to be worth a lawsuit. Maybe.

Picture this, you're 9 years old. Food and good times are your life. You get to go out to eat at a place you have a good memory of and see something on the menu you're excited about that you haven't had in a long time.

Now you are told that yes they have it available for sale, no they won't serve it to you unless you install an app on a device you don't have.

My point is my kid was really excited about getting something that was available on the menu and had to leave without it because they wouldn't serve him even though the item is on the menu in store.

If your needs are simple, anywhere that has competitive prices and service, a tire in stock you are ok with, and can get you on the schedule. Walmart is ok, so are a bunch of other places.

If you have awd, you need matching tires all the way around. Otherwise, you can just change front or back.

It's ok to get cheap new tires. Especially if you think your car might outlive your tires.

If you have front wheel drive, and you almost certainly do, it's best to put the new tires on the front and rotate the older ones to the back if you aren't changing all four. Winter is coming and you will get better traction. Besides, they wear faster on the front.

It's not 100% necessary, but go ahead and get the valve stems changed unless you changed them pretty recently. It's cheap insurance. Some places will include it, others will charge.

They may charge you extra for balancing and mounting. Normally they will quote it that way, but make sure if you are comparing prices. And yes, they need to be balanced and mounted.

If you are offered a road hazard upgrade, or similar bs, it's up to you.

If you can afford it, go ahead and balance any tires you don't change while you are there. It will ride better and give better wear. If you never get to highway speeds, it doesn't matter as much.

Before you change them, check to see if your tires are wearing evenly. If they have weird wear, you may have mechanical issues in which case you may be able to get them to take a look while it is on the lift and at least let you know what is going on.

If everything seems tight mechanically and you are getting weird wear, they will probably tell you that you need an alignment. If they can do it, go ahead and get it done. If there are repairs, they will likely have to do those first and then do the alignment.
Some places will check your brakes while the wheels are off. Some places will try to scare you into brakes and brake parts you don't need, but it isn't a place to skimp either... If they show you and you don't know what you are looking at, maybe take pictures to show someone who does.
