What I hate is when the moron behind the counter dosent know anything. Around here you have a hard time finding any parts store with knowledgeable people working there. If they can't look it up on their computer they can't help you. :(

First of all, before you get all high and mighty about turbos mr. auto parts store, you might want to research what parts a turbo has on a stock setup. The laser has only steel hard lines for coolant and oil. If you have a honda, you use a stainless line for pressure, and a rubber line for return. The hard lines she was looking for can be ordered by the way. They are pre-bent with flanges and banjo fittings on them.

Sounds like you dont know as much about DSM's as you thought. You probably confused her as much as she confused you. Just cause you use a DSM turbo, doesnt mean that all the parts you used with it work on all cars.

i think you people have got the wrong impression of me and how i act at work.

first of all for black dsm, i didn't know what the stock line was made of, and i said to the lady "is it a rubber line" and i also asked in the first post i made in this thread what the stock line in fact was made of.

why the flaming, sheesh man, take a pill.
and btw, no i can't order it in, maybe you can, but i can't. trust me. its not available. the only place in town that could get it is the dealership.

i wasn't mean to the lady or anything, i didn't swear, i didn't raise my voice, i didn't sound cocky.

she was getting mad at me because we didn't stock the item, and that wasn't a good enough answer to her, she needed it now.

the point of the post was why do people come in for parts just expecting parts workers to know exactly what it is.

and id also like to point out that i was the only person that works in my parts department that could have even figured out that she was talking about the oil return line.

the fact of the matter is, she came into a small parts department that sells popular replacement parts for popular vehicles, like gm trucks, and she expected me to have stock on factory turbo system parts right on my store location and sell her one on the spot because the dealership was closed that day.

even if it was available from me, which it isn;t, i would still have to order it in.

Re:stupid people
 

i never lost that customer, because she was never a customer, and there was no way i could have changed that. i didn't have the part, and i told her that, and i tried to help her the best i could, and told her where to get the part. i dunno how you think i am a bad worker.

that hurts man :-X

Re:stupid people
 

turbo dan, dont take offense. It just sounded like you were being cocky about the whole auto parts store thing. Obviously you werent. It's cool man I am a manager at an auto parts store, and I get idiots in there all the time. I feel your pain man! I used to have jack-asses like Jeff and Beau coming in to give me a bad time about parts. :) Now those are tough customers!

I'm not trying to start fights. By being one of the staff members of homemadeturbo, I just want to respond to posts accordingly. I obviously took this one wrong and I appologize.
