Re: Pep Boys rant
The advance Auto Parts store in town has the biggest moron managing it.He is in his 50s and paid pretty well.I went to buy sway bar bushings and had to order them.after a month and three wasted trips that guy wasn`t there and a kid waited on me.He asked who I was dealing with,I toild him,he rolled his eyes and brought the other kids into our conversation.They said this guy was the biggest loser and not to bother ordering from him.The kid found my correct ones which cost more than I paid and hooked me up at the original price.The kids,one of them a girl,seem to be enthusiastic about what they do.It seems they must have grown up helping their dads or something.That`s how I was when I was a kid.i`d go to the machine shops,garages,and parts houses and they all took me under their wing.They were impressed about a boy that wanted to do his own stuff and had interest in learning.There may be less of that these days.but,i know i`ve mentored quite a few over the years and some are grown men now and better wrenches than me.
