My Auto Zone Rewards card is from 2007, hard to think that the card is close to 20 years old now. Last time I used it, I used it to scrape glue off the side of a truck LOL!

Pour one out for pre-shittified MEC.
What happened?
It used to be co-op (see: the name) but it got taken over by a fecking American corporate board without even compensating the co-op members. A bunch of employees quit and I know I will never buy anything from them again.
edit: Heh, it used to be a running joke that when you travel, Americans are wearing Canadian flags, but Canadians are wearing MEC gear. :) That is no longer the case, since MEC gear is a) shit and b) American-owned, but I repeat myself.
They're owned by a canadian investment group since mid 2025 . Still not a co-op though.
Ah, that's cool. I don't love that the Roots guy is involved, though. Roots has gone to total shit since the 90s, when they outsourced all their work to China. :/
So my opinion has dropped from 5 stars to 1 star, and now it's back up to 2, hahah.
That's a damn shame.
