For all the hassles - like losing easy access to the "off-road" items
they did get a lot right. Like, if a customer wants brake pads the search
brings up rotors and calipers as side-bars. 

NAPA (or the dealer) is where I recommend that a customer go if I can't
get him what he says he wants. I never send customers to O'Reilly and
Advance Auto Parts is a dwindling presence.

Had a customer who was being a PITA ask if there was an O'Reilly's near
and I replied "Watch where you step. They're like dog t*rds. They're
everywhere."

I fear we're skewing off topic here and I don't want to get a rocket
from the moderator.  Bv)=
