Most modern parts stores operate by the "body theory" method of operation. That is, they do what they can to make it possible for a trained monkey to do the job, and then turn loose whomever is available for the job. They receive minimal instruction. The main thing is ability to operate the computer. As long as they can look up a part on the computer, they are considered employable. The problem arises when a customer asks for something that is not necessarily listed in the computer. Like bulk brake line. Or a "match it up" spark plug. Or even a belt or a hose for a non automotive application. The entire system is designed to operate with a minimum of human intervention. Also, corporate policies vary from company to company, and even district to district. I knew a fellow that was a district manager for one of the auto parts store chains. His policy was that the phone not be allowed to ring more than three times before answering it. Pity the employee who let it ring that fourth time before answering it. He or she would be warned once, fired the second time.
