Rich and the parts Monkey

[richtazz]

here it is, I hope you guys enjoy it.

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"

I thought stuff like that only happen to me.
Always in the slowest line.
Or when I do get to the cash they open the draw and start counting the daily receipts.
Or pull the draw completely out and go on a shift change.
Rich is lucky parts monkey didn't have a phone,it could have been worse.

All I can say is "Rich. I feel your pain". Sad to say I've been in your spot.

Very nearly as bad as going to the store for Exlax and having the wanker behind the register as if you want a "Gift Receipt" for that.
