AutoZone
AutoZone would like to clarify that we do not purchase advertising on Rush Limbaugh websites, nor do we sponsor the Rush Limbaugh radio show.

If a commercial did run, then it did so in error.

That's the best one I've heard yet!

1. Well, that's clearer than the bullshit autoreply they're sending in Re: to Limbaugh questions

Email [e-mail] and mention Limbaugh to see for yourself.

2. I don't listen to Rush

but I venture to guess they been "mistakenly" advertising on Rush for the last 5 plus years.

3. Autozone didn't purchase the ads, their ad agency did.

And that's how one hand washes the other.

4. It's kind of like a super-pac. A candidate can claim they never said that - their super pac did.

And accountability keeps on becoming more and more obsolete.

5. AutoZone is the only Fortune 500 company without a written diversity policy.

They're also huge Republican donors.

6. Really good store

It is really a great store with good fame among US customers. While people always like to compare one thing with another thing, so to me. To find out other good things, I'd like to try some new stores out.

8. I never set foot in BigotZone.

7. AutoZone, Cracker Barrel Named Worst Companies for LGBT Workers

AutoZone, Cracker Barrel Named Worst Companies for LGBT Workers

Earlier this month, the Human Rights Campaign released its annual Corporate Equality Index, ranking hundreds of America's largest companies based on treatment of LGBT employees.

Memphis-based AutoZone and Tennessee-based Cracker Barrel both scored in the bottom 10. AutoZone placed ninth-worst for not prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity or expression and for not providing same-sex partners with health coverage.

Cracker Barrel received the third lowest corporate equality score. The company doesn't prohibit discrimination based on gender, provide partner benefits, or require diversity training that encompasses sexual orientation.

Environment

Environmental and Consumer Protection Lawsuit, June 2, 2007. "A civil environmental and consumer protection enforcement action was filed against AutoZone Inc., based in Memphis, TN, by the California Attorney General and district attorneys in Monterey, San Bernardino, San Diego and San Joaquin counties. The suit alleged that the company was guilty of violating state laws that required safe storage and disposal of hazardous waste, including motor oil. AutoZone violated the law by leaving the oil in parking lots and trash bins. Company employees routinely ignored the oil and failed to dispose of it properly when found in trash bins or parking lots. AutoZone also had pricing errors on its products, resulting in consumers paying more for an item than it was advertised for. In a settlement reached, AutoZone Inc. agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle charges in the two-year long, civil environmental and consumer protection enforcement suit."
