I’m not 100% sure we’re to behind so I guess I’ll start explaining my job
I’m not technically a mechanic, I’m actually an apprentice at a small dealership. One of the services we offer is to drop customers off while we perform services on their car, and as one of the lowest paid employees, I usually get to do it. Most of them live within a few minutes of the dealer, sometimes up to an hour a way but very few bring their cars that far just for shitty dealer service.
Anyway, I got ropped in early this morning (like I hadn’t even touched a car, just put my coveralls on) to drop off a customer whose car was getting an oil change + new tires. I led her to the courtesy car punched in her address and away we went. Now I usually make small talk with a lot of the customers otherwise it gets kinda awkward sitting in the same car as them. Usually I just ask them questions about what they do,how they like their car, etc etc.
This customer (I will call her Lin) was actually pretty chatty and kept asking me about my job and schooling etc.
