A conversation a guy I know posted about his latest trip to Autozone. 4bangler is the name of his Jeep, BTW.
4Bangler: "I need two AIMCO #5492 Hub and Rotor assemblies"
Parts Monkey: "What type of vehicle"
4Bangler: "It's the large box on the third shelf, I can see it right there, you have two in stock (pointing)"
Parts Monkey: "What year"
4Bangler, hanging head in disgust: "'77 Ford, F-150, 4wd, 2bbl 351M V8, automatic, power steering, power brakes, no A/C"
Parts Monkey: "77?"
4Bangler: "Yes"
Parts Monkey: "Ford Truck?"
4Bangler: "uh-huh"
Parts Monkey: "F-250?"
4Bangler, laying head on counter: "F-150"
Parts Monkey: "2-wheel or 4-wheel?"
4Bangler, banging head on counter: "4 wheel drive"
Parts Monkey: "front or rear rotor?"
4Bangler: "Front hub and rotor assembly, AIMCO #5492, third line down"
Parts Monkey: "Locking hub?"
4Bangler: "NO! HUB AND ROTOR ASSEMBLY, RIGHT HERE" (grabbing monitor and turning it while pointing at the screen)
Parts Monkey: "Oh, with splined drive hub?"
4Bangler, laying on floor, covering face: "No, the line under that one, F5"
Parts Monkey: "We show two in stock, you wanted one?"
4Bangler: "No, two."
Parts Monkey: "Okay, let me get them"
4Bangler: "There in the next isle to your right"
Parts Monkey: "yeah"
4Bangler: "Your other right"
Parts Monkey: "yeah"
4Bangler: "a little farther down"
4Bangler: "a little more"
4Bangler: "too far"
4Bangler: "look up"
4Bangler: "right there"
Parts Monkey: "okay"
Parts Monkey: "there you go, anything else for you today"
4Bangler: "yes, I need TWO of them"
Parts Monkey: "oh, okay"
Parts Monkey: "will that be all today?"
4Bangler: "yes"
Parts Monkey: "phone number"
4Bangler: "989-555-5555"
Parts Monkey: "huh?"
4Bangler: "area code 989....555-5555"
Parts Monkey: "oh"
Parts Monkey: "John Doe?"
4Bangler: "Yup, that's me"
Parts Monkey: "What type of vehicle?"
4Bangler: "huh? why?"
Parts Monkey: "Warranty"
4Bangler, smiling: "'95 Jeep Wrangler"
Parts Monkey: "uh..."
4Bangler: "Never mind, '77 Ford F-150"
Parts Monkey: "That comes to $84.79"
Parts Monkey: "Out of $100?"
4Bangler: "no, wait, I've got some change (handing Monkey $0.80)
Parts Monkey: "Okay, $25.00 is your change"
4Bangler: "Fifteen"
Parts Monkey: "huh"
4Bangler: "Fifteen dollars is my change"
Parts Monkey: "uh...hey Karl, how do I void this transaction?"
Karl (shouting from the back): "F5"
Parts Monkey: "phone number?"
4Bangler, slapping $5 on the counter and taking $20 bill off counter: "989-358....oh whatever, you're an idiot" (turning and walking out the door)
Parts Monkey: "sir...you forgot your change....sir...sir?"
4Bangler, as the door shuts behind him: "Keep it......a tip for your fine service"
