Another parts store funny.

I went to get a power steering belt today for a 72 pickup. I had the number off the old belt and the lady behind the counter wasn't able to just walk back and pick up another with the same number. So.....no problem, right?

Her...What year is it?

Me... 1972

Her...Is it 1/2 or 3/4 ton 2 or 4wd?

Me....1/2 ton 2wd.

Her...What's the engine size?

Me...350

Her...2 or 4 barrel?

Me...4

Her...Is it a manual or an automatic?

Me...Auto.

Blah Blah Blah!! I realize she's probably not making much more than minimum wage but for god sakes! It's a power steering belt that I gave you the # for when I walked in!

Then she keeps doing her part to make her sales for the day. She asks if I need any Power steering fluid. I'm still being polite.....No thank you. Then she asks if I would like any belt dressing. Hmmm, Isn't that what people put on noisy belts to quiet em down? Seems like this new belt should be plenty quiet don't ya think? I didn't say that though......I just told her no thank you, paid for my belt and left.

Oh the old parts stores!
