Issue with the Parts Girl

[cad614]

After laughing at this thread, I remembered it was time to change out my plugs. When I got to the parts store I expected the guy there to at least be slightly more knowledgeable than the girl, but here's my transaction:

ME: "I need eight autolite 764 spark plugs, please."

HIM: "Ummm, ok. What year?"

ME: (I decide it's best to let him have his routine, hoping that will get me out of there faster) "'95, Ford, Mustang GT"

HIM: "What engine?"

ME: "302"

HIM: "V6?"

ME: "V8" (with a really discusted look on my face by this point)

HIM: "All I show here are the platinums, would that be ok?"

ME: "I'd prefer the copper ones, mind checking to see if you have any?"

HIM: (after finding the box directly behind the counter) "Do these look right?"

ME: "That's them."

HIM: "So, just four or do you need six?"

ME: "Eight"

Then he checked me out and I left wondering how I ever thought that those guys knew anything about cars.
