We laugh about this, but it is so sad. I'm sure the turnover in those stores is so high that you can barely keep up with training them. The O'Rielly's near me must be the exception. The guys are all pretty sharp. There is one new kid that is still learning, but he has a real good attitude.Yeah, I told the kid at Auto Zone I needed parts for a 69 Dart, he asked who made the Dart. Dodge, I said. Who makes a Dodge says the kid.
I would have said Fiat. That should mess with him good.Yeah, I told the kid at Auto Zone I needed parts for a 69 Dart, he asked who made the Dart. Dodge, I said. Who makes a Dodge says the kid.

I realized I'm old when I started seeing 6 foot tall teenagers and I think " I'm old enough to be your mother"
I'm almost due for another birthday and I don't have any kids but i sure do have memories of a crap load of cars come and gone, and soo many fond memories of car hunts and hauling home cars. Life is awesome!!
A quote from Sammy Davis Jr.I say "If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself".
Didn't know he said that but it's true.A quote from Sammy Davis Jr.

I know how u feel. Was at eastern sales Chrysler dodge in Winnipeg Manitoba. They had a pic of a max wedge Plymouth on the wall. I commented how cool it was parts guy looked at me and said nobody here knew what kind of car that was. Guess we’re all getting there
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
I feel like it’s the T.V. show Cheers when I walk in. They all yell my name. “ROB!”

I’ll be 54 shortly and have approximately 13 months until I retire. Don’t hate the player, hate the game! At least I’ll have more quality time with my small board of MoPar parts to play with.
