I’ve never been a fan of Nascar, but as of today I’m a fan and loyal customer of Ernie Irvan’s Texaco Xpress Lube in Concord, NC because of Men Appreciation Day every Tuesday. Men Appreciation Day gives all male customers a $3.00 discount on their oil change every Tuesday. In addition to Men Appreciation Day, Mr. Irvan’s employees give you a thorough assessment of your various fluids and tires, which makes me feel they are interested in actually changing my oil instead of replacing my johnson rod.
Men Appreciation Day, according to my oil change technician, was created in direct response to a male customer complaining of senior citizens and women as the only customers receiving discounts. I actually had a similar thought when learning that the Home Economist discounts vitamins 10% for senior citizens on Thursday. Not that I’m against discounts for senior citizens and women, but some men are just as interested in the long term health of their car and bodies. Thanks Mr. Irvan for recognizing this fact. Perhaps I should start to float the idea of a Men’s Health day at Moose Pharmacywhere we discount our vitamins and natural products to promote awareness for men’s health issues.
