Auto Zone Ordeal

A counter worked at a parts store is an entry level job, maybe one step up from being a burger jockey at a fast food joint.

Right! And THAT RIGHT THERE is the problem. That's part of corporate America that's no good. Useless as tits on a boar hog. It shouldn't be that way......at least not for every position in the store, but it is and corporate America is to blame, because they want employees as DEAD CHEAP as they can get them. The store where I worked now has all kids straight out of high school. Every single time without fail when I go for something, there are some of my old customers standin there wantin me to come back because "nobody knows anything". Sad really. Is you see an older guy at one of these stores and you know he's good, you better use him while you can. Chances are he's one of the higher paid employees and he has a target on his back.
