bountyhunter Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 this REALLY pisses me off. I need spare parts some times to repair VCR's or cassette decks. I call a repair shop and ask: "Do you have a square rubber drive belt, 16" inside diameter that is .080" thick?" This is the info that is printed at the top of the package the belt comes in. Answer: "We have some belts but you would have to come over and see if we have the one you want." Translation: "I am so f---ing lazy, I won't walk five feet and look and see if we have the part you need, but if you drive across town to come here, I will look then and tell you we don't have it."

wide45 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 You don't suppose they get calls from people shopping for the best price? How long will you be checking on $1.50 parts, for people who don't come in to buy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 You don't suppose they get calls from people shopping for the best price? Who is going to "call around" for a discount on a part that retails for 79 cents? Even if I found a place that had them half off, it wouldn't pay for the phone calls.
