I'm so glad I don't work retail.
Dec. 21st, 2009 10:53 pmFunniest thing I've read this week:
from here
From when I ran an auto parts store:
[Mechanic on phone]: How much for a clutch for a [insert make, model and year here]
Me: $26 for the disc, $62 for the pressure plate, $12 for the To bearing.
MOP: Thanks
--20 minutes later--
MOP: I'll take the disc, but your competitor sells the pressure plate for $50.
Me: Buy it from them, that is below my cost
MOP: I would but they are back ordered.
Me: Why didn't you say so? When I don't have any they are only $19.95, but when I have them they are $62. Now do you want it or are we just screwing around here?
MOP: send it.
