Fred,
Thats when you ask to speak to the manager. I spend a lot of time and
money at AutoZone. But I have built up a friend ship with a couple of the
counter people. Every time I walk in, I ask about the sale their running
on Bricklin parts. :) So now they know me. Yes, I do get some of the
newbies but if they can't help, I'll ask for the people I know - one of
which is not the manager.
