Today I was driving south on Main Street in Bridgeport on my way to pay my Aaron's bill. I had started to turn left into their parking lot, and I had a clear shot in, when two of the Aaron's employees in a box truck decided to shoot out from the side and site in the entrance blocking me from getting in. So I had to back up, in traffic, to avoid getting hit by oncoming traffic. Then they waited for a long line of traffic to go. I was frustrated because if they had let me in, I could have paid my bill and gotten to work on time. After that long line of cars passed, they had AMPLE opportunity to pull out into traffic as they were turning right and the approaching traffice was several hundred yards away. They waited a second time for another long line of traffic to go by. That got me pissed so I flipped them off and drove up half a block and did a u-turn. They proceeded out into traffic and did a u-turn of their own and came back in the store lot.

I was inside paying my bill when the first one came in yelling "Do you have a problem? You flipped me off. Do you have a problem?" I explained (in an equally loud voice) that I had the right of way, I was turning when they pulled up and blocked me forcing me to back up in traffic and how they made me wait so long I was pissed. The guy was like "I had the right of way, I was coming out of the parking lot" which is completely wrong. You don't have the right of way to move into the path of a vehicle that's coming from the street into the parking lot. Then he says right in front of the manager, "I'm going to say this right in front of the manager: if I ever catch you in public off the clock you and I are going to have problems. We're going to handle this and you can talk to me and the man." I have no idea what the man refers to, a gun maybe? Then the other guy comes in and gets in my face (looking like he's stoned) and makes a few threats of his own.

After they leave I ask the manager why he didn't diffuse the situation. He says I flipped them off, it's my fault, what did I expect them to do, and he would have come after me, too. I'm like, "Really? You let them threaten my life in front of you and that's all you have to say?" He says they were wrong for cutting me off, but implied that I was MORE wrong for flipping them off. He never once said they were wrong for threatening my life like that.

After this purchase is completed I will never rent from Aaron's again and I will make it a part-time mission to let every person I know that they are not to be trusted, their employees are thugs, and they harass you every chance they get if you're a day late. They've often called me, my references, and my job ten times in one day, even telling them I owe money.

Ok maybe they should have been more courteous towards you. You shouldn't have flipped them off and act like a drama king! Honestly Aaron's corporate policy states that you are to be contacted once in the am and once in the pm. Secondly if you would call and let them know when your coming in it wouldn't be an issue and guess what NO phone calls to you or your references. Just pay your bill on time it would avoid all the aggravation.

The way you said "AARON'S EMPLOYEES ARE THUGS" 

That's emplying that all Aaron's employees are thugs and that is definately an inaccurate statement and for you to say that your basically acting how you say "the employees" acted which makes you no better then they are. 

Thank you!!!
