Parts store stupidity.

It's not just parts stores, These ****ing idiots are everywhere. I was at the Safeway store yesterday with my wife.

The girl at the check out with the half shaved head and the pop rivet through her nose asked my wife what this was. She had no clue that corn came any other way except in a can. Believe me when I tell you that they are out there, It's almost like the "Walking Dead".

Me: I need both inner and outer pinion bearings for a GM 7.5 differential.

Parts guy: What year?

Me: 87...Cutlass...supreme...(watching him click on the computer screen as the options pop up)

Parts guy: uuuhhhh...5.0 or 3.8? (wait until I get that 355 in there, that will be a curve ball when I answer "5.8")

Me: 5.0

Parts guy: Vin Y?

Me: (I wish) No.

Parts guy: Now what where you looking for the rear cooter valve or the muffler bearing?
Me:

Reminds me of earlier today looking for a trans mount for my TH400. The guy asks what car I tell him a 70 Chevelle since it would be the same. He then scrolls through the brand list before asking "who makes the chevelle". Good times.

I went into Advanced once and asked if they had any 3" exhaust band clamps. The guys was dead serious and asked,"Is this for a Cavalier?". Wtf. Next stop was Napa.

I only deal with Rock Auto or Summit now. That way if I get the wrong part it's my fault and I don't have to deal with the Zombies at Auto Zone.😱

I hate it when you tell them the part number you need, and then they ask you the year of you vehicle and engine size, so i play along at that point. "what size motor 3.8 or 5.0?" 6.3 liter "dont show that as an option" how about you get me that part number i gave you.
