....Back in the day, You could go into a parts place and ask a knowledgeable person for the part you needed. He would then get it out of his stock room in 2 minutes. Not anymore kiddos.
Enter big business and computers. I want to an auto parts place in Brooklyn, and then another, all with the same response.
-"What year is the car sir?"
-"This is not a car year thing, I just need an in-line fuel pump"
-"Well I need a car year sir."
-"OK, a 1974 Saab Sonett."
-"But that car isn't in our system? Did they even use electric fuel pumps back then?"
-"I am trying to swap the car over. I need a fuel pump and relay to do so."
-"Well, that is not how our computers work. We need a year and model car. You don't expect us to know every item in stock, do you.?"
-"Well, actually, YES, I do."
This is the future boys and girls. Uneducated part time students following computer programs. They don't know how to help or improvise.
