    ooo autozone has it for this price, well its 28 cents cheaper at walmart. of fucking course it is, you pay more to have a real parts person help you find shit.

    i do the job of mechanics everyday, i have diagnosed more automotive issues than i care to think of, go to a garage, they charge $80 to do the same thing.

    then that same person comes in and buys the cheapest part possible then complains and trys to bargain with me. "Well if i buy the water pump, cause i'm changing my timing belt, can u give me half price"..... NO.
    No worries, I'm not actually back, I'm just reminiscing about the old days.

              basically if u have a toyota or a honda, we always recommend doing the water pump when u change the timing belt. preventatitve service and upselling.

              People forget that its my job as a parts pro not only to get you the right parts, but also sell as much shit as possible. I have turned $60 transactions into $200 ones, pretty much by smooth talking and bullshiting. It's my job.

              I just hate it when i do my job, make some more money, then this bum wants me to give him shit for half price or free. Of course i'm not, that cuts into my sales numbers.

              ohhh and yes he was mexican.

                            I was trying to buy a tie one day and this dumbass kid in front of me was trying to barter with the manager over a pair of boardshorts, two shirts, and a hat. The manager told him at least 5 times that he couldn't make deals but the kid kept trying. How hard is it to get it through your little head that retail prices are set by corporate and the piss on managers/employees have no say in the price? I was so pissed i finally told the get to pay or get the fawk outta the way.
