Rich and the parts monkey

This is one of my favorite posts ever. Rich posted it after a trip to a discount parts store (no name, but the initials are A.Z. :naughty: ). Rich is a GM parts specialist, and takes his job very seriously. These kinda exchanges drive him crazy.This is for all of us that have had to deal with a moronic parts guy.

Rich: "I need two AIMCO #5492 Hub and Rotor assemblies"

Parts Monkey: "What type of vehicle"

Rich: "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"

Rich: hanging head in disgust: "'77 Ford, F-150, 4wd, 2bbl 351M V8, automatic, power steering, power brakes, no A/C"

Parts Monkey: "77?"

Rich: "Yes"

Parts Monkey: "Ford Truck?"

Rich: "uh-huh"

Parts Monkey: "F-250?"

Rich, laying head on counter: "F-150"

Parts Monkey: "2-wheel or 4-wheel?"

Rich, banging head on counter: "4 wheel drive"

Parts Monkey: "front or rear rotor?"

Rich: "Front hub and rotor assembly, AIMCO #5492, third line down"

Parts Monkey: "Locking hub?"

Rich: "NO! HUB AND ROTOR ASSEMBLY, RIGHT HERE" (grabbing monitor and turning it while pointing at the screen)

Parts Monkey: "Oh, with splined drive hub?"

Rich, laying on floor, covering face: "No, the line under that one, F5"

Parts Monkey: "We show two in stock, you wanted one?"

Rich: "No, two."

Parts Monkey: "Okay, let me get them"

Rich: "There in the next isle to your right"

Parts Monkey: "yeah"

Rich: "Your other right"

Parts Monkey: "yeah"

Rich: "a little farther down"

Rich: "a little more"

Rich: "too far"

Rich: "look up"

Rich: "right there"

Parts Monkey: "okay"

Parts Monkey: "there you go, anything else for you today"

Rich: "yes, I need TWO of them"

Parts Monkey: "oh, okay"

Parts Monkey: "will that be all today?"

Rich: "yes"

Parts Monkey: "phone number"

Rich: "810-238-3242"

Parts Monkey: "huh?"

Rich: "area code 810....238........32......42."

Parts Monkey: "oh"

Parts Monkey: "Rich?"

Rich: "Yup, that's me"

Parts Monkey: "What type of vehicle?"

Rich: "huh? why?"

Parts Monkey: "Warranty"

Rich, smiling: "'91 Chevy Cavalier"

Parts Monkey: "uh..."

Rich: "Never mind, '77 Ford F-150"

Parts Monkey: "That comes to $84.79"

Parts Monkey: "Out of $100?"

Rich: "no, wait, I've got some change (handing Monkey $0.80)

Parts Monkey: "Okay, $25.00 is your change"

Rich: "Fifteen"

Parts Monkey: "huh"

Rich: "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?"

Rich, slapping $5 on the counter and taking $20 bill off counter: "810-238....oh whatever, you're an idiot" (turning and walking out the door)

Parts Monkey: "sir...you forgot your change....sir...sir?"

Rich, as the door shuts behind him: "Keep it......a tip for your fine service"
