HRH Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I got interrupted by a plethora of stupid fucks with random trailer bearings, oddball Chinese scooter parts, and the phone calls asking if we have something, how to fix it, and then, oh, okay, I'll be in next week for that! FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKKK!!!! And I'm getting ready for more tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the "what do you mean you don't have a head gasket for my 70 horse Evinrude motor? Where am I going to get on, I have to be out on the lake for the fourth!" Fucking waaaaaaaaa! Quote Link to comment

datsunrides Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm usually wanting to strangle the guy working at the parts store. Same here. The only place near me that has counter guys that have a clue are at NAPA. There is a guy at the Autozone who is very good, which means he won't be there much longer. <_< Mark Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I feel ya Matt, my wife has been dealing with the same thing, lol. (some of the stories are priceless, lol) "I need a siphon." Right there. "Oh, that's kinda cheap. I got a black one a few years ago." Okay, here's the nice marine version. "Wow, $23 bucks, gosh, I have to think about that." Okay. "How about wipers for a '99 Suburban?" Couple of 22 inchers, have them for $9.99 each. "Oh gosh, okay nevermind." Wants quality, but wants it for free. Doesn't matter what parts shop you're in, this time sucks. The last few customers haven't been too bad though. Quote Link to comment

philcas1987 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Haha you're not paying me shop rate to fix you're car. Figure it out. Dumbass. I sell parts. That's why I love working at a jobber warehouse. Shops call know what they want done!. Sure enough I can tell you but I don't get paid for that Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 guess i'll insert a datsun related story here... Yesterday I was putting some brakes up on the shelf when I heard some guy ask for a "Datsun book." I walk out from the back disobeying my boss's orders to "get that fucking cage empty from truck" to poke in and insert my knowledge. We had a guy temping from another store who was helping. I walk up and the guys looking for a Haynes book for his 1994 Datsun 720. I was like wtf... I asked him if it was outside, because I figured he meant 1984. Well, he pointed outside to a frontier. I facepalmed and retreated to the back defeated by the ignorance.. 2 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 use my line. this turns people sideways sometimes :lol: "lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part" I use the exact same, but it's a little more biting, "Piss poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part" ;) Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Seriously though, it's funny how simple it is to satisfy a good customer with knowledge. I have a customer with a mid 80's 720 with a Z24. He came in one day to get plugs, wires, and dizzy cap/rotor. He was anally surprised that I could tell him so much about the motor. Then I pointed out I was a Datsun guy and he wasn't surprised. He's been chasing a misfire for months and hasn't had much time to work on it;. Replaced and cleaned most components on the engine except the ignition coil. I went out to his truck with my Wells book and multi-meter and checked the primary and secondary resistance on the coil to find that it was his problem. We went inside and he bought a new one, and we swapped it in the parking lot 1 Quote Link to comment

When was doing pizza delivery I used to get all sorts of help from the parts counter people cause if my car broke down thier pizza was late and cold, they made sure it ran perfect along with this girl at the Mr. Lube Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 im usualy wonting to strangle the guy working at the parts store. Same. Ive been sent the wrong pads for my nx2000 brake calipers 3 times now. Sent a scratched up header...Ive been wanting to strangle the idiot on the otherside of the counter who cant seem to tell the difference between nx2000 us and japan spec brakes. And then tells me theirs a difference in size between abs and non abs when there is not. But i do see so many idiots at the parts store that leaves you wondering wtf, they shoudl take their car to a mechanic. Quote Link to comment
