Yesterday I was driving around to various AAP stores collecting the discounted GTX HM 10W-40.
While I was at one store, waiting for the fella behind the counter to get my online order, I overheard this guy selling this young girl wiper blades for her Honda Civic. Thinking to myself, "probably $40-50 for blades, poor girl paying that much". I overhear the total, $86 and change. Wooooffff!!!
It ain't my place to get involved, but man it makes you feel bad. This poor girl paid almost 8x over for what a set could be had for. Granted there is a cost to "right-now" and the convenience of having the guy at the counter throw them on. But wow!
I throw a few sets on every larger RockAuto order I do @ $5.10 a blade for Trico Ice. That has become my favorite year-round wiper as of late.
Highway robbery.
