four or five years ago we had an independent auto parts store here in town, owned and ran by a lady. She kept that place stocked with parts that people actually needed and had a black fella working in there with her. Either one of them knew just where everything was and you seldom left without the part you needed. Then she hired another guy who had no idea what he was doing. I went in there one day and asked for a set of points for a Kohler, the black guy was busy with another customer and heard me ask for points. While the new guy was looking in the parts book and telling me he would have to order the points the black guy came walking up with the points. She sold the store to napa and things really went downhill from there. So bad I started driving 12 miles when I needed parts the black guy seems to have quit he wasn't there when I went in for my final shopping trip in there a few days and it took two guys 20 minutes and no help. I found what I wanted laying on a table in the back not in a package, just laying there. Took it to the counter the guy made like he was checking the computer for the price, told me $1.87 for a 1/4" brass coupling I paid and left for the last time.
