    I don't get angry with a sales assosicate who is polite, well trained, and obviously trying to be of service. Like when the (store manager) at O'Reily's did not understand how to read heat range on NGK spark plugs. He was helpful, just didn't understand what the numbers meant. So I explained it to him, and in return he gave me the plugs.

    However, my last PepBoys experience involved meeting "Darsheke" at the back counter, with her 4" long sparkly gold nails, as she was tearing into a bucket of KFC Extra Crispy--not too unlike how a lion tears into a zebra. Once Darsheke (or Shanequa, or Funtaya, or whatever her name was) had consumed the bucket, she waved me over with her shiney, greasy hand and inquired, "What you want?"

    Pep Boys' employees tend to be the laziest, least informed, and most apathetic of any of the chain parts stores.

    But would it not be obvious that if you work in an auto parts store, you should have some sort of knowledge of cars. I don't expect everyone to know the correct torquing of head studs and shiit. But when I ask a simple "oil change" question or a question of that level and the employee looks at me as if I had asked her to move the moon over behind Mars, then there is an issue. Why would Bill Gates hire a nanny to work in his computer lab to develop new software? Why would any company hire someone who is NOT qualified at all for a position? You've taken this question personally and you shouldn't have. But ten years ago, you could walk into Pep Boys or wherever and find nothing but males in there and pretty much the combined efforts of the whole shift could damn near build you a car. Now when you go in, the only thing you'll learn is how to do hair and gossip. Later, QD.
