You have to be respectful and courteous.. Do you even realize half of the shit that most of us who work in parts stores have to deal with? MOSTLY lower class scum that have no respect, aren't polite in any sense of the word and treat you like complete dog shit.2. Most of us aren't making jack.. I have about 4 years of retail experience and basic automotive knowledge.. Do you want to guess what I make as a SALES MANAGER?! $10/hr. I don't know about you guys, but that's not very motivating..Also, those of you who go into any parts store for any kind of advice (other than simple everyday situations) are out of your minds.. You must realize that the people working there ARE NOT mechanics. The job doesn't require much, if any automotive knowledge. The employees there are not there to help you fix your car, they are there to get you the part that you are asking for, if you need a mechanic... Go to a mechanic.Some of you have mentioned that it is a sales job. It is not. You ask for a part, we look it up, you buy it. The employees of various auto parts stores do not pressure you to buy their parts, therefore there is no 'sales' involved. Now, Im sure that many of you will argue that money changes hands, blah blah blah.. That isn't sales, I don't care how you look at it. If that were considered sales, then I guess Wal*Mart cashiers are allstars by now.OK, well Im done venting.. For now... I get to hear enough bitching every day.... :comando:</blockquote>
