Auto Zone Ordeal

I was in the local Autozone and the customer ahead of me was asking for a vacuum gage. The parts girl was obviously new and asked the other counterman if they had one. He had no idea what the man wanted. He got the manager who asked the man what it was used for. The man said he had an old corvette with a hopped up motor and needed a vac gage to tune it. The manager told him that they didn't carry anything like that.

I asked them to step aside so I could see the shelf behind them. I looked at the customer and pointed to the bottom shelf and said " there's one right down there". The manager looked and bent over and picked it up. The man said "Come on guys!...You need to hire him." pointing at me.

My response was "They couldn't afford me!"
