I like the AutoZone guys, even if they're saddled with a parts lookup system that hobbles them. For some reason, they actually try to be helpful, unlike the folks down the street at O'Reilly or Advance who all seem to have an attitude. Often I can look up the part on the AZ website and confirm they have it in stock, but the guys in the store are stuck with looking it up by year/make/model number. So I'll come in and ask for such-and-such Autolite spark plug, and they immediately ask, what's it for?. So I tell them it's a 1964...Ford...4000...tractor. The counter man will stop typing and get a defeated look on his face as I continue row crop...and it's a gas tractor, not diesel or propane. Then they'll invariably say let me go look and then go in the back and start checking out what they have on the shelf.
And when I say guys, of course it's both the guys and gals who work there. I tried to get a set of points once for my tractor, which they supposedly had in stock but couldn't find. (I had to make up a car so they could look it up.) The lady behind the counter tried to be helpful, even though she didn't know what 'ignition points' were. She was quite surprised when I told her it wasn't that long ago that every car on the road had a set of points.
