Angry LETS NAME NAMES (tire fiasco)

needed a spare 315-17-70 tire and called DISCOUNT TIRE in CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS ( s.p.i.d. and greenwood st.) 1-361-814-7050 yesterday and they said sure, we have a set of used 315-70-17 in stock, sitting right here, $50 each. cool. i called em at 6:30 this morning, same guy says sure, they are right here, will be waiting for you. i called in to work and took the day off as i live 45 minutes away from corpus. got there and JACOB, the guy i talked to, goes to find em. comes back and says " guess the guy that cleaned up a few days ago threw em away.". i said really, if they were so good, why did he throw em away, and why did you tell me they were sitting right here. his response? "call me every few days and maybe we will get some in." i proceeded to tell him as loudly as i could that if i shoved his head up his *** i bet he could find me one in a hurry. i left just before the cops got there. he cost me a full days wages and 2 hours on the road. anyone know the address/number to a complaint dept for DISCOUNT TIRES ? as far as i am concerned we need to let each other know about places like this so the honest, good retailers can get our business. i've already had a couple of buddys call em and tell em they aren't going to buy tires from them any longer and why. anyone else want to also feel free.
