My favorite occurance of this mindset happened several years ago. The guys INSISTED that all SBC used the same fuel pump, FOREVER! I pulled three different fuel pumps, placed 'em on the counter and let HIM pick. An hour later, he came back and picked one of the others. Two hours after that, he came back with his old pump in hand. I ran the numbers and got the right pump for him. He just answers my questions ever since.
BTW, Sion, how is it that your store didn't have any PAPER catalogs? We're hooked up with e-catalogging, but we always keep the paper as a back-up. What happens if the 'puter crashes? Power fails? My experiences are that e-cats are keyed by steno's with no automotive background and proofreading is very shoddy.
The large chains (PepBoys, Autozone, etc.) in my area refuse to keep catalogs, and we get 5 to 10 calls a day from THEM asking for help finding a part. If they were serious auto parts stores, you'd think they'd try to do the job properly. Stay away from those "fast food" parts stores. A good independent will treat you better. (We beat them on most prices, too!)
