Very good. The auto parts stores drive me crazy with that shit, but I guess they've adjusted their business model to their customer base's knowledge... clerks too. But when the data entry into their system is wrong it's a pain in the ass.

I stopped to pick up something at pep boys one time, and coming out of the store noticed something hanging down under the car. It was a belt that had split with the inside half in place but the outside half had come off. Strange failure. Well the outside half had the size printed on it so I took that back in and told the guy what size I needed. He starts the make, model, year thing, telling me it's the only way he can find it. Then he brings out a belt 6 or 8 inches too long, and argues with me when I've got the right size in my hand. It was a Plymouth Horizon, but to get the right size he had to enter Dodge Omni, which was identical, but somebody had screwed the system.
