The wonderful world of clueless service. They don't know parts, they know how
to look parts up for a given car in a computer system. I'm only 38, but I
always go find the oldest guy behind the counter and start with him, here's what
I want to do, any ideas what parts may work? The new kids on the block can't
solve parts problems, they can only find parts on shelves......

Just came back from "Auto Zone" trying to compare electric fuel pumps and
pressure regulators, I asked for a universal F/P & P/R, the counter person
said "What Type Car" does this fit, sir I only want a "Universal", well I need
a make/model car in order to get a application that it will fit, O/K I want it
for a "Universal", well we do not have a listing for a Universal, what other
car takes this pump, well try a Triumph, naw they're made by M/G and I know we
don't make M/G pumps, well thanks anyway. Is it only me or do others get
agitated when the "golden" words "What Type Car" always seem to come out of
the counter person. "FT"
