So I went to get a little piece of rubber (#23 on the chart) I ordered at the local dealer, because all the online places wanted to charge me $15 to ship a piece of rubber the size of a nickel. Anyway, I go in and there is a woman working something out for a few minutes, and in front of me is a guy who looks like he owns a casino in Macau or something. Short, plump Asian man with a North Korean haircut. He says he ordered something direct from Germany and the guy brings a box, it’s some kind of interior piece for a convertible. He wants the guy to show him how to put it on the car, I just want a little piece of rubber that I already paid for, so I ask if my tiny part was close by and if I could have it before he went outside to look at the guy’s car. The parts guy says sure and turns around to look. This crazy guy slams the box down and says, “I waited in line, send this back to Berlin” and then leaves. The parts guy and I look at each other like WTF. He goes and gets my order and it turns out the guy I talked to fucked up, so he tells me come back next saturday and I will have it and you can have it for free. I wish I could have said, “Not Berlin, Stuttgart!”

I was picking up oil and a filter at my BMW dealership the other other day and the guy in front of me was trying to buy a part. The catch was he didn’t know the number, where it quite went, or what it looked like. It felt a lot like “worst customers” movie rental scene from Clerks.

I’ve been there...

Last week I had a guy return a SRT-8 rear CV axle because the dust shield was a little bent up from shipping. Nothing 10 seconds and a pair of pliers couldn’t sort out.

“If I’m paying $1500 for an axle, IT BETTER BE PERFECT” he says.

Yes, the axle is $1500.

Yes, I re-ordered it.

No, the new one wasn’t perfect.

I straightened it out before he came to pick it up :D

Nah I said if it was close and could just grab it, I already paid and had the receipt. I mean really the parts guys responsibility ends with handing him the part. Walking across the parking lot to help him with it while other people are at his counter is not his job. In any case the guy didn’t even have time to turn around to check the shelf right next to him, the guy just exploded and left.

Oh I know responsibilities, but as a parts counter person, people expect free installation cause “it isn’t too hard” bitch that is what you pay our service department for.
