Stop in for a cup of coffee

Did some errands today, really to pick up a heater for the shop and some supplies.
Figured I'd give the Pepboys a shot since they always had experienced folks at the counter that I'd recognize. Not today, maybe not anymore. Kid didn't know how to find a speedometer pinion seal, and he's smart enough to say so. So he goes in the back to get help from someone. Comes back and says I have to go to a dealer or order a new instrument cluster. I say "Sorry, but the seal's in the transmission." So he obviously feels foolish and says something about he was given bad info. Yup! he tries to look it up, but then doesn't know if he actually get it. Some nonsense about might have to get it from the manufacturer. OK. Never mind.
Do you have 5/16 transmission hose? Goes back and looks, ask how much. Comes back with 4' and its fuel hose. shake_head-gif.gif
They didn't have any Valvoline Brake fluid in stock either. Three strikes and I'm out.
They used to be better than the other box stores. frowwn-gif.gif
