tires tires tires update

Went to Sears to get my tires. Called first to make sure that the kuhomo tires at 66.97 each were in stock. told that they were on the truck for deleivery later in the day, as i was going after diner no problem. Chated a few minutes with the tire GAL state disposal fee, lifetime balancing, new valve stems, 75000 mile warranty taxes ad nauseum total was going to around $360.00. Showed up around 7:00 pm at the auto center, as i walked in the door the night time tire guy says "i've been trying to call your" oh shiznit i think. The tires were n't on the truck. I negotiated a little and decide to up grade to Falkien's same size, same warrantly, all the extras (hey my kids driving the car i want the warranties) and proceed to head to the mall to meet my wife and kid for dinner and shopping. About 1 and 1/2 hours later head back to the auto center there's the bird with its shinning new shoes. I walk in to finish the paperwork. Guy starts printing mountains of paper work for four lousy tires. then he hands me a filled out rebate card for goodyear tires, HUH?. I say i din't buy good years. He says hey we were out of the falkiens too. so i upgraded you to the good years at the same price, and you get a rebate $25.00 a tire. So now have 4 goodyears 75,000 mile warranty, lifetime balance and rotation, road side assistance for road hazard to tires total $415.04 plus got $100.00 buck rebate on the way. out of pocket $315.04 not bad i guess it pays to be nice to the guys behind the counter.
