I caint STAND people like that. One day at the store, a prick customer came in and told one of the younger guys "I want valve cover gaskets for a small block Chevy". My guy asked year make and model and the guy got really nasty and said "they're all the $#$%!! same, you dumbass". So, I walked over and looked up some for a 78 Malibu with a 305, crossing my fingers the whole time. We HAD THEM! I told my employee to grab those. About an hour later the customer came back saying the gaskets were made wrong that two of the holes on each gasket were "in the wrong place". I told him "no, for about three years Chevy made heads with offset bolt holes on the heads on the intake side". "Now you wanna at least give us a DECADE so we might can find you the right parts?" I just love messin with people like that. LOL

NICE!!!!!

I myself would have said to him, “When you came in you stated loudly that ALL SBC valve cover gasket are the same. Well! There ya go! One set of SBC valve covers.
Now if they don’t fit, perhaps you don’t have a SBC OR! Not all SBC valve covers are the same? Which is it? My employee didn’t/doesn’t know so he asked like he should so you would get the right part the first time instead of you coming back. I guess you like to drive around then?

Yea, and then I’ll be fired!!! LMAO!

Rob, I can take the arrogance directed at me some. But when some old SOB gives to a young fella, new guy, (and even more so when there actually trying to be good at there job) I get angry quick and speak up shortly there after. It’s defending the weak and unknowing.

If there is one thing that also bothers me is the kid behind the counter not giving a crap and “SIRing” me to death and telling me the most outrageous things.

I have really good group of young fellas at the local Auto Zone by me. I feel like it’s the T.V. show Cheers when I walk in. They all yell my name. “ROB!”
LMAO
