I was on my way to advance auto parts when I encountered a big Black Truck (toyota I think) on the Parkway. I changed lanes to where I was in the right lane and he was behind me. He did not take kindly to my being in front of him and proceeded to tailgate me to the intersection of Pelham Road and this continued when i turned right onto pelham road. On my way to advance auto he tried to pass me in one of the right-most lanes (the ones that turn directly into the shopping centers) and failed, which disgruntled him further. As I approached advance auto he rolled down his window and started shouting. He proceeded to follow me into the parking lot. I realized this and moved to turn out of the lot, he followed, got right behind me, and exited his car. I wasn’t able to turn onto the road quite yet so i locked my doors and put my hands in the air, trying to signal that I wanted no trouble with the man, he started shouting again, so i turned onto pelham as soon as I could—I have absolutely no idea what would have happened if i couldn’t have made it onto the road.

The man was about 5’ 10”, tan skin with short black hair. I couldn’t get a plate because I was never behind him. Be careful out there y’all—people are crazy and stupid, and I was lucky.

We have a week long incentive for AAP orders. I have only seen one in my two months sparking and it disappeared before I could get proof. I have an AAP near 3 of 4 WM in my zone but I never see these or Sally's orders. I have a Sally's in same center as one WM, but it's not a hot spot.

How do you get AAP orders? Oh, got H Depots near, too, but not on my zone map. Why?

Nobody in the old Crossroads HQ/call center anymore. All local employees have been working from home since Covid hit.

Not the most interesting story in the world, but I think it fits. At Advance Auto Parts there's one of those perma deals it seems, where you can get 5 quarts of high mileage synthetic oil and a filter for ~$38. For context, that oil is generally $43 and the filter is usually ~$8, so this is a great deal. The problem however, was that I don't need a filter, and not wanting to waste my money on one, I went to ask if they have such a deal for just the oil. They told me no, the deal is only available if I get both the oil and the filter, and that's when an idea struck me. After checking with the person at the counter, I put my plan in motion, I bought both the oil and the filter with the deal, and without leaving the counter I requested to return the filter, which there wasn't a deal against, and got just shy of $8 back, leaving me with an ~33% discount on oil when I would've been perfectly fine paying more not to have to go through the effort of dealing with the filter.

Edit: To people questioning my maintenance habits, the imgur link is a picture directly from my owners manual. My current maintenance code is A.

Advance Auto Parts is a chain of retail stores that offer replacement automotive parts. This includes products such as hoses, brakes, radiators, wires, wiper blades etc. They also offer services such as installation of batteries and renting out tools.

On their earnings call today, they reported a decrease in sales and a decrease in margins. They attribute that to higher competition and inflation, two of many other reasons for the lack of performance.

They've cut guidance for the rest of the year and unfortunately cut the dividend by a whopping 83%. The yield now sits at 0.90% and a quarterly dividend of $0.25 has been declared, down from $1.50 a quarter ago.

This is a massive blow for anybody that has AAP in their portfolio. Although the writing was on the wall as their Free Cash Flow has been on the decline. The previous dividend yield was just not sustainable without taking on debt.

Anybody here have AAP in their portfolio? If so, what do you plan on doing with it now that a major dividend cut has happened.

They've taken the leap! To learn more about the Atlas Merchant Platform, or AMP, please check this .

For some reason, I’ve always thought it was advanced auto parts?? With a D

Don't they screen this stuff at all??? It was a 15 dollar drive going 7 miles so I said fine. It's usually some bulbs or gaskets and stuff like that.

The order was for 3 batteries (each weighing in about 40 pounds) some huge rotors which are not light at all, an alternator, not heavy but added to the weight and a bunch of other odds and ends. It was easily between 200 and 250 pounds. I walked out. They didn't even have a roller cart for it. Not making 5+ trips back and forth at both stops.

What would happen if I was an older or smaller woman?

These auto part orders are getting ridiculous.

Just took my first, and maybe last, order from Advance Auto Parts. I show up (on time) & this lady working there had a serious attitude with me. She seemed put off that I was even there. There are two heavy ass brake rotors there. (My app said "one item," but whatever.) Then she says in the bitchiest possible tone I" was about to cancel that! You only have a 30 minute window!" I showed up on time according to my contract. I did not even say anything because I did not want to escalate an argument. I don't know who made unrealistic time frame promises, them or Doordash. My main reason to post this was just to rent, but also I was wondering if any of you have dealt with Advance Auto Parts and have been met with unnecessary hostility like this.
