Issue with the Parts Girl
I'm getting ready to install my new 331 motor this weekend. In preparation for this, I stopped by Advanced Auto Parts for some routine items. Here's just a small part of what I had to go through to get some 'routine' parts:
I'm at the parts counter speaking with the Parts Girl (Girl): ME: I need eight spark plugs, Autolite #3924's, copper, please. GIRL: What's that? (she's not paying any attention, even after asking what she could do for me) ME: I need eight spark plugs, Autolite #3924's copper, please. GIRL: Ok, let me see if we have any in stock. (shouldn't these always be in stock?) So the Girl goes around the corner for a moment and then... GIRL: How many did you say you needed? ME: Eight, please. GIRL: Ok, here they are. (She is holding one box of four plugs). ME: I need eight please. Do you have another box back there? GIRL: Oh, ok, I thought you said 4 (Goes gets another box). GIRL: Here is another box. Are you sure you want Copper? You really should get the Platinum plugs. ME: The copper's are just fine. GIRL: Well the platinums are better. They are better for performance and make ALOT more horsepower. ME: That's fine, but I just want the Copper's. GIRL: Ok, but what kind of car are these for? ME: (me hesitating) ...Well, it's for a Mustang, but it wont match up to what's in your computer because it has aftermarket heads. GIRL: That doesn't matter! Let me look them up for you and make sure you're getting the right plugs. ME: Really, you don't have to. I just need to purchase these and get back to work. GIRL: Well, fine, but they probably wont fit. ME: Ok, thanks for your help. I love dealing with these people! E
