Yeah, I'm pretty much disgusted.

Looking at Autozone's Facebook page, there are a whole lot of fired up people about this.

Yeah, big companies don't like employees doing stuff like this.

Because they "might get hurt".

Yep, O'Reilley's will get my business until Autozone does something about this.

Yea.  I avoid companies that do things like this.  I don't do "boycotts" but I avoid a few places that suck.  I guess autozone joins Sony as an avoidance brand.

[Maverick]

Don't do much business with auto parts stores any more but when I do I will avoid Auto Zone.

Sad that I have one a short 200 yard or so walk through the woods behind my house...

O'Reilly's is less than a mile away though, so be it.

Autozone, you're fired!

GET OUTTA DA ZONE!

It's all about $$$ for the company.  Their insurance probably has a compliance clause in the policy that requires employees to comply or escape, nothing else.  It's cheaper to bury an employee now and then than it is to pay for more expensive insurance for all their stores.

Autozone, you're fired!

My thoughts exactly.

Also, keep in mind that many employers have life insurance policies on their employees, so the death of an employee on the job is a cash gain for them.

i'll be making phone calls to 2 friends of mine that work at autozones, and let them know about this.....and why they'll never see me step foot in one, or call to order something.
