Unbelievable frustraion at "No Auto Parts Available"

I asked at Autozone for a 5/16 compression union because someone put a section of fuel line in one of the transmission cooler lines and the guy had no idea.
Probably it was easier to cut the line than to get to the fitting at some point for somebody.
I had to go find it myself, and when he asked what it was for (I knew better) I told him it was to connect two non flared ends of a steel transmission cooler line together.

Guess what he said, "transmission cooler lines are all one piece and don't come in sections"
Well, yea in a perfect world. :D


Then I asked for 2 packages of green plastigauge and got a deer in the headlights look.
I had to go to Napa for it.
