I'll give that a try, I'll try to strike up a conversation next time I'm in there, I'm still on the learning curve here, I'm new to the world of having a truck to tinker with, it's kind of a love hate thing I'm finding out, but thanks, I always appreciate advice from someone who had been there and done that

I think the manager at the AZ here smokes crack, and hires his crack-smoking buddies to work in the store. I have only encountered ONE that actually had a clue.... (and he soon left, to go to work at Advance....) The folks at advance here know me by name, and since I do so much business with them, I get a standing 10% discount, and if I get REALLY spendy, the manager will give me 15%..... even on sale items. 
Of course, I have only been going in there for about 15 years......

They are getting ready to open a new AZ in Manor (on my way home from the office). Still have paper on windows. I kind of shocked worker in one Austin store - he could not find what I needed, so I swung the display around, reached for the mouse, and found the part. Also used cross reference to find another part. He was shocked and asked if I had worked at AZ before. I told him I was a "Professional Customer."

Never thought anout that, but that would be a good indicator. Like going to a barber shop - have the guy with the worst haricut do yours..... because you knoe one of the other guy does his!
Before I moved, the AZ manager always gave me freebies - dented packaging or cans from warehouse. Marke with "Not For Sale." I have several 1 pound cans of wheel bearing grease, body putty etc. Going to miss Tom and the guys.
