Seriously Advance could do this^^^.
But how many times have I been picking up an order and I remember I need a case of brake clean? Practically every time. They want that additional sale I'm sure.

$$$$ is the key... hiring someone who knows what theyre talking about wants to be paid more $$$... versus the guy that knows nothing can be paid waaaaaay less... when ive talked to the guys manning the desk what they were actually making they were paying them $9-10hr..
main reason i was asking wasnt to be rude... it was because they were opening a new one near the new house and was hoping to get a job at one...

When I was changing my Bobcat's coolant, I wanted to put on a new radiator cap. I searched my butt off on the internet and kept coming up with too many variable things - so ordering online and having something not fit would have just pissed me off and the Bobcat part was made of gold (you'd think based on price). I even called the local tractor dealer and they were worthless.
So I call O'Reilly and talk to this parts guy, who says that should be a pretty common generic part and it sounds like one we have on the shelf (mine runs at a lower pressure, like 12psi is one issue). So he says: let me go grab one and compare measurements on the phone.
Everything we thought of measuring we did -- it sounded like a fit and he put my name on one (we aren't close to town). So I took the old one in and for less than $5 I have a new cap...
It made me appreciate them a bit more...

In fact one of the ironic things about this thread Sean started, because we had "thread drift" (can't remember if it was Jack that gets credit for that term or who), in all these other threads; Is here we actually will end up staying On A Topic for a number of posts!
So basically it is really just the Junk Drawer, bring up whatever you want, thread, but expect "drift"
Now where were we? Politics? (not) or who is and who isn't protesting any sport that allows protesting??!
I just found out the NBA has a rule that REQUIRES all players to stand during the National Anthem -- think I might start watching more basketball...

I could swear when I used to visit my facility in Van Nuys it was on TV in there ..... NJ, no. But I’ve never visited the nude beaches in NJ, always afraid they’d be trying to push me back into the ocean.
