Gary, I know the feeling! I see all that junk on display, but I don't see many people buying it.
I know it wasn't an auto supply, but the other day I needed a power door lock for my wife's Honda. Went to the local dealer, asked for the parts department. They pointed me to a 4 foot long polished granite counter top, said "Parts" on a little desk sign.
All the floor space around it was occupied with over priced junk accessories. There were no greasy parts, no leaky batteries sitting around, no parts sitting out waiting to be picked up, no girly calendars, not even a curled up plastic place mat to lay parts on!
Finally the same dude I asked where the parts dept was got up from his desk and strolled over. He looked like something that would be seen in a San Francisco poetry bar! Told him what I needed, got the thousand yard stare...
He finally got on the computer, walked over and sat back down. I stood there a few minutes, went and asked him again. He said it's coming. Finally someone in a shop uniform came out, gave him the part. They conversed for a few seconds, occasionally glancing my way, both appeared confused.
I finally got my part, but it was very obvious... Rarely does someone come in anymore and actually ask for a part other than a floor mat or fuzzy steering wheel cover!
