I argued over the tread depth left, because 7/32, down from an initial 9/32, is less than 25% of total wear (nevermind that the actual tread depth is 11/32, and 9 is only the usable tread.) I argued with the guy until he was "nice" enough to bump the reading he got from 6, to 7, to 8, to 9, at which point I was actually making money off the transaction, but he put the road hazard warranty renewal on again, bringing me up into the positive range. The manager (who I had asked to speak to several times,) just said, "print it out, bill it as cash, and don't worry about the 54 cents."
In reality, I paid nothing, although I would have tipped the kid who did the work if I had cash on me*.
* - I had a quarter.
