Auto parts retail stores rant.

Man I know exactly what you're talking about. For instance I went to an Autozone the other day near my house and saw four Mexican girls, none of which weighed over 105lbs in charge of the store. They had no clue what they were doing and couldn't even lift an alternator to be tested. What a joke!!!!!!!!

Dude!!.....exactly what I was gonna say! The local Pep Boys employs a bunch of fast food rejects (about 1/2 are female Mexican chicas....at least some are hot..lol....management ain't stupid!) When I go to the counter to get a part, I just tell 'em to spin the computer monitor around so I can see it.....and do their job so I can get the right part.

We had one "real" old-time parts store left in our city....but....it finally went belly-up. Had a really awesome machine shop in back with REAL knowledgable guys. It was the kind of old-time parts store that juuusstt might have a carb kit in stock for an old AFB or something weird like that.....or had some old Stewart-Warner gauges hanging up on the wall......TONS of brass fittings in drawers in front of the counter for the customers to go through themselves........it even had that old smell of a real parts store......it really sucks that they're gone now.
