Frustrating trip to NAPA yesterday

"We are stuck" with a too small NAPA here in town, the one in Post Falls is actually larger, but it's about a 20 mile round trip. The one in Hayden is on stop and go surface roads THAT is no fun

I went in there and there's THREE guys in there I've never seen before, I need a cover gasket for a Dana 60 (the White Whale III) a 5.2 pan gasket and VC gaskets for the Dakota project

COVER GASKET, Dana 60..........Bla bla bla, "Chris do we have cover kjasjdkfjoqwe?"

Chris (I can see his screen from the corner) quotes him a part no I can SEE them pictured

He bla bla bla then says "we don't have any".

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG A DANA 60 HAS BEEN IN USE?"

"Yes" he lies

"And you don't have ANY COVER GASKETS FOR THEM?"

"You said 'cover' "

"NO I DID NOT!!"

Next valve cover gaskets. He looks it up, spins the monitor around and shows me a whole page of various listings, "which one do you want?"

"I want at least OEM quality"

"Well you HAVE TO PICK THE PRICE YOU WANT"

(In other words, I the parts guy know NOTHING at all about these, except the price)

AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THEM IN STOCK!!!!!

I DID finally manage to crowbar a (I hope) pan set and Dana 60 gasket out of him.
