Parts store clerk has become a part time job for teenagers. It's no longer a career path where a man can start at 18, work his way up, and raise a family.
They pay wages comparable to McDonalds or Burger King. Just barely over minimum.
The stupid ones don't last long because they get fired. The smart ones don't last long because they're too smart to stick around. So, you're always dealing with some green kid who just started last week.
On the rare occasion you get an old guy, he's only there because Social Security isn't enough to get by on, so they're angry and miserable to deal with, and just as clueless as the kids.
I don't know what you're expecting.
I did get a kid last Sunday at NAPA who was pretty good. I came in looking for a 160 degree thermostat, and I had the NAPA part number THM 95. He punched it in, none in stock, but he was able to cross reference it and found me another 160 degree thermostat the same size and style that he did have in stock.
I don't expect him to be there next time. He'll move on to bigger and better quickly.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
