I don't EVER go into any kind of establishment with an attitude, even if I am returning something or have a problemSo this parts thing...
I work for a national chain, owned by a multi national.
Our parts are bigger and heavier than car shop ones in the main, but the business model is similar.
Customers don't want to pay more than they have to for bits, so it becomes a low margin race to the bottom. Because it's low margin, wages are poor, so most of the staff are too.
My deal is different, but I really feel for the store based peeps. We have over 3600 part numbers in our branch alone, and heavy trailers don't come with online parts diagrams, yet somehow it's their fault if they don't know what particular air brake valve lowboysdotcom used on the customers "It's a 3 axle" version. And then it turns out be a lowloadersareus build anyway.
Maybe just remember you should get further with Sugar than Spice with folks who are just trying to pay the bills like you are.
Wasn't a dig at you, or anyone else specifically, Michael.I don't EVER go into any kind of establishment with an attitude, even if I am returning something or have a problem
That doesn't mean I won't end up with an attitude if provoked
I know that people are trying to make a living and pay bills; however, why should I put up with someone "helping" me who is pissed off at THEIR situation in life that is based on THEIR choices regarding education, lifestyle, etc and comes at me guns hot before word one is even spoken
I treat the person behind the counter at McDonalds with the same respect I treat a server in a fine restaurant, unless or until they decide to treat me like I am a bother and an inconvenience
I think that is the point several of us are trying to make, it's less about what these places stock or don't stock and more about the incompetent azzholes we simply don't want to or won't deal with
I will never understand why companies would rather pay *s-wordt wages and get *s-wordt employees and have peoplke walking around telling other people about their *s-wordt experience at XYZ when they could pay a bit more and have people walking around saying "wow, the service at XYZ is amazing"
I certainly didn't take it as a dig at me and if it came across like I was beating up on you then I apologize AdamWasn't a dig at you, or anyone else specifically, Michael.
Just some background.
I agree with you on the attitude thing. I have to Dad Eye one of my colleagues now and then when he forgets his manners under pressure.
A GFY going both way would’ve been sufficient.I certainly didn't take it as a dig at me and if it came across like I was beating up on you then I apologize Adam
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas my friend

Where are the gizzards? I remember eating them with my dad. I was the one that would eat them with him. Fried with onions and potatoes was good stuff.You are getting old and blind, I can plainly see the breast meat
See thats the holiday spirit!You are correct sir, hard to keep the haters clear in my mind (age you know) so a Merry GFY to you and yours...

Liver and gizzards are the 2 things I love that the boss just doesn't understandWhere are the gizzards? I remember eating them with my dad. I was the one that would eat them with him. Fried with onions and potatoes was good stuff.

She doesi am a leg and ass kinda guy

so how could i be gay unless you are calling him gay
How was that an insult? LolI saw the picture. I learned a long time ago that you don't insult a man's wife, hit his kids, or kick his dog. Fat mom jokes are fair game.
Its happened more than a few times.@dall could fall into a barrel of tits and come out with a dik in his mouth.
