I recently went into an AutoZone to grab a couple head lights for my TR3 and
the fellow asked to look up the car. When he looked it up he said they didn't
have them in stock. I said, dude just point me to the head light isle and gee
wiz, there they were.

Subject: [Fot] Sadly a Sign of the times-
I went to my local auto zone today. Behind the counter a clerk perhaps 28y/o
asked me what he could get for me. I asked "Where do you have your timing
lights?". He looked at me then calmly went to the computer and asked "What year
and model?".
I should have known better. I was there a couple of months ago. At that time I
asked for rod bearings for a small block chevy. it was a different clerk
similarly aged. He asked "What year and model?". I said "1972 chevelle 350". He
responds "front bearings?"
"No- all of them" I say. "Both sides?" He queries. Then I get this "a ha"
moment when I seriously believed we are doing an Abbott and Costello "who's on
first". So I tell him " I don't think you understand" - "Engine rod bearings
standard size". So he looks at me and says. "What's that?". I look at my son
and then back at the clerk and say "I made a mistake I thought this was an auto
store". We walked out.
I am going to write to their corporate office.
