This thread brings the funny, I go to the auto zone by my house since its only 5 min's away, and it is a circus in there. There a few guys that know what they are talking about, but there is this one young kid that I swear is going to have a heart attack by the time he hits 21.
Everytime I am in there, if he doesn't see the part pop up right away , his response "its a dealer item, who's next".
There is a small Mom and Pop's place nearme and I go there for the non-typical stuff.
The orileys near me, well they will argue with you about parts that you ask for. I once asked for a part and gave them the number and he told me it wouldn't work on the jeep i was fixing, I told him it was a upgrade and it would work and he flat out told me he wouldn't sell it because it wouldn't work.
Only go there now to buy PB blaster and oil when they have it on sale

I have been back there since and the parts guy gives me a dirty look every time I come in.
