Anyone else have some jerk techs? We asked this one to put his R134a requests in pounds or ounces, so he does ounces to 8 decimal places. Hence my hi-lited response on
the hard copy. No wonder I hate some techs.

I should qualify the original post further, this tech was bringing requests on R134a in kilograms. That was when we asked him to put it down in pounds and ounces, hence his
21 point 8 decimal place ounce response. Maybe he thought it was funny. I did not.

I am just as tired with smart assed walk in customers.
1. Me, How May I help you? customer Give me a new vette.
2. Me, Is there anything else I can help you with? customer Give me the winning lottery numbers.
3. Me, I will need proof of ownership and an ID for that key. Customer, No you don't I have been a customer for years Don't you know who I am.

Have you checked with advanced/CARQUEST interchange of part #19383805? (they have the actual acdelco part labeled 19383805)

Words of wisdom from someone who spent 45 years in a GM parts department. Mechanics are JUST smart enough NOT to be bodymen.

I agree after 40 years with Chrysler. I could tell so many stories but there isn't enough time.
