Old Man with a Hat
I didn't want to hijack the Anger Management by Furyus so I started its own. And since it is auto related to something we are all familiar with, I thought it appropriate.
Today, I needed two items. A hazzard light flasher and 6' of 5/8ths heater hose.
I checked online for the flasher at AZ and they listed three different types, all in stock at 6, 10, and 12 dollars respectively.
A new Oreillys opened up recently and I checked online and they showed only one style at 3 bucks and in stock.
So I go to OReillys and the fun begins.
Pretty gal with nice rack (irrelevent and sexist but this is my post) greets me and directs me to the bulb section.
I show her there are no flashers there and it is a behind the counter item.
I give her the stock #, she plugs it into the computer and says no such number. I have the screen printout and show her it is a good number. It still won't take, so we play the year, make, etc. thing and comes up with 2 types available, which did not show on my computer at home. OK, I said. Well, one was special order and the other one was out of stock. WTF? Bye. Grr
At AZ, it got funnier.
Newbie with very bad English greets me after the manager yells at him for ignoring me.
Anger Management started and kept in check.
I told him to plug in year, make, etc. and clearly pronounce just like this:
"Type in flasher
Now click on hazzard"
Up pops only one, the $12 one. I say No, there are 2 others. He didn't know how to find the other two. Calls manager, he comes over and we go back to square one. Year, ..... Grrr
Up pops the 3 types with only the $6 one in stock and he gets it. My computer said all in stock.
Now the funniest part is a beauty.
I now ask for "Heater hose - 5/8ths - six feet". He goes back and brings out the expensive packaged hose. I said no, I want 6' from the bulk roll.
"Qué¿"
I call the manager back and tell him what I want. He says there's no such thing. All they carry is the pre pac 6 footers.
Grrrrrrrr.
I say it to him again. He says no such thing. I say "BULLSHIT" and tell he does have it. I personally drag him over to the shelf in the back and say "There! WTF is that?"
I go back to the counter, he cuts it and brings it out. I said "WhyTF did you tell me you didn't have it?" He stuttered for about 30 seconds and I finally say to him "You lazy bastard" and go to check out.
Finale.
Newbie scans flasher , comes to the hose and is stumped. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. I just want a EFN flasher, some hose and GetTF back to the house.
Calls guess who and manager comes over, has to think about, goes back to the bulk roll box, gets # and gives it to newbie. Newbie punches in # and it asks for qty. He punches in, yes.... "1". One unit. I don't say anything, take my flasher and "one" hose that was priced per foot and say Byeeeeeeeee.
HowTF do they stay in business......
That is my Anger Managent and welcome to it.
