Parts shop stories

>head into Advance Auto for some headlight bulbs and various other things that I need
>notice the cool dude that I to shoot the shit with isn't working
>probably off today, oh well
>go check out bulbs, there is only one of the size that I need on the rack
>head over to the counter to ask about another on
>fat lesbian who I have never seen before leaning on counter
>"excuse me, could you help me for a second?"
>fat lesbian gets huffy, bothered that she has to do actual work
>"I'm looking for X size bulb, you only have one on the rack. Could you check the system to see if you have any more?"
>doesn't even touch the computer, just walks to the back of an aisle and takes a few sips from a big gulp
>comes back and says that they don't have it
>ask about the cool employee
>learn that he quit and she replaced him
>ask if she can check the system to see if any of the other area stores have the bulb
>she just stares at me, then asks if I want to buy the one bulb

I guess I'll just fuck off and buy what I need from amazon or rockauto or something, nothing else I can do. There is no way a white guy is winning an argument against a lesbian in my area.

Ducks bro, iktf, thankfully the lesion at my shop is cool as hell, and we shut talk norm is everytime I come in.

I work at Advance. Best part time job ever imo.


>work mainly with Navy engineman who know everything about everything
>other guys know quite a bit about cars and performance
>can get parts for 50-60% off by buying them on the store account
>employees all know connections to good paint shops, mechanics etc etc
>also lend tools


Most of our parts are dog shit and overpriced but there is some good stuff in the system.

Good for you man, jealous of the hook up. For the rest of us plebs and wageslaves, there aren't many options. It's either wade through the more of shitty NAPA/Vatozone/Advance Auto or trust that the online vendor is going to send you the right part, the first time and on time.

>head to local Bumper to Bumper
>walk in and greet regular parts guy
>"hey user, still working on that old project or are you working on something else?"
>shoot the shit for awhile
>ask him for a few different parts
>he doesn't even check the computer, just walks away and comes back with what I need
>put it on my tab and leave

Local mom and pop shop:
>They are good ol' classic Americans with a machine shop in the back.
>Knowledgeable in all American cars going back into the 30's.
>Old guys: Average age 50-60
>Good prices.
>Small shop, but they have an outlying warehouse and can have stuff in the shop within a couple hours most of the time.
>Usually order stuff before I enter work, and come back the next day to pick it up.
>No need to tell them if it is a 2 door or 4 door when ordering an engine part.
>No need to tell them if it is a 4 cyl, or 8 cyl when ordering something like a brake light (not that you would be ordering a brake light, just an example.)
>Joke about farts, women, other races. No need to be politically correct.
>Customer base are mainly mechanics, don't really get the retards that hold up the lines.
>Rarely a line as they have multiple people to order parts.
