This literally happened to me two days ago at O'Reilly's. Went in to get a caliper rebuild kit for the rear of my 99 Silvy. The guy was obviously very puzzled with what I wanted. He started by asking if it was a 5.0 or 5.7. I was like, wtf? The he asked if it had disc brakes? Uh, duh... "caliper". Are you fricking kidding me!?! Where do they get these guys.....

They dont want mechanics, we would be fixing customers cars instead of selling them parts that they dont need. "Would you like some gojo and blue nitrile gloves with your purchase of unnessary parts sir/ma'am?"

OH yes they hate me when i come in. 2004....1500...8.1 liter...
WTF! LOL I just ask them let me look and grab the part.
But in general parts store have went to ****...
When did not having a person in charge of just taking your money become a good business decision. And all the parts chains do that now it drives me crazy.
**** i need one quart of oil let me wait in line behind 10 women buying parts for their husbands car because the husband too lazy to go get it himself for a single quart of ******* oil to put in my car....
