The problem I have is that they rely so heavily on the computer system. As an example I went to an Oreilly (I'm an Oreilly guy) that is a hub store for the area. I know they carry carbs and parts in stock because I have seen the section in the back. Anyway I walk up to the counter, guy asks me what I need, I say I need 72-74 jets and an 8.5 powervalve for a Holley carburetor. He says, what year make and model? Without making the story too long I'll just say we went back and forth on it for a couple minutes before he called over a manager. He just couldn't get it. Manager asked me what I needed, I told him, and then a minute later I had my parts. Easy peasy.

At this point the guy was obviously irritated at me (for what?) and was being kind of an ***, so before we went to cash out he asked if I needed anything else. Me being me, I couldn't help it. I said "yup, I need a head gasket for a 1986 Mazda RX7"............
