Anyone ever buy brake pads, only to find the wrong pads are in the box?

Needed to replace my brake pads last night, so went to Advance Auto Parts to get the pads, got home and found out the wrong pads were in the box. This was after I had the wheels off, and after the store closed. So had to go in this morning to get the correct pads and fix my car before going into work.

The guy at the store told me this morning that it's not uncommon for the wrong

The issue is the level of employees you get at that distribution level...

For us the set up cost is the barrier. We can't do it.

Was there a guarantee on the box?

Guaranteed to be brake pads. Maybe not the ones you need for your car, but

You can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's yewt.

No. I bring in the old one to match the backing plates.

I generally do this as well, but didn't have time to take off the old one last

The guy that taught me brakes drilled it in my head not to trust part stores.
