Parts store rant
If you read my last thread about the neutral safety witch, you know I just put a new (used) wiring harness in my truck. I wanted to replace some of the non-working electrical items in my truck so I went to Oreilly's to buy 2 door jamb switches. They only had one so the clerk called Napa to see if they had another one. So I paid 2.99 plus tax and drove to Napa. The clerk at Napa remembered the clerk from Oreilly's calling and pulled it off the counter. He rung it up and said it was over $6.00!!! Of course I told him there was no way I was paying $6.00 for a $3.00 part and walked out but how can the price difference be that much? I ended up going to Autozone and getting the other one and it was $4.00. I just don't understand how the price of one part can be that different at three stores within 2 miles of each other.
