Advance Auto Parts Idiot
So I picked up some synthetic oil at Walmart (best price) today and stopped by Advance Auto Parts to get a filter. I told the guy what I had and after fumbling with the computer he said, "we don't have any for your car". I said "your kidding". Must have been his first day on the job. Another clerk walks up and goes through the search process again and his computer pulled up a long list filters and the following conversation occurs.
Clerk: "What kind do you want?" Me: "I'd like a Wix, please" Clerk: "We don't carry Wix" Me: "What brands do you have?" (He turns the screen toward me and starts naming them off) I notice they are listed from most to least expensive. Me: "I guess maybe a Bosch" Clerk: (pointing to the K&H at the top of the list: "You know, you have a high performance car so you might as well get the most horsepower out of it. These K&H filters will give you a few more horsepower". (The K&H filter was $16.99, the Bosch was about $8) Me: "What?" Clerk: "It's true. You can actually gain horsepower with a better filter" Me: "Come on man. Don't bullshit me" (The manager overhears me and comes over and asks if there is a problem) Clerk (to manager): "I was just telling this gentleman that a better oil filter would give him extra horsepower" Manager: "An Oil Filter?" Me: "Air filter, maybe, but not an oil filter" Manager: "That's right. No oil filter will give you extra horsepower. What brand did you want, sir?" Me: "Well I wanted a Wix but I guess you don't carry them" Manager: "No we don't. You would have to go to O'Reilley's for a Wix" Me: "Then I guess I'll just do that. Thanks." (Went down the street and got my Wix.) Where do they get some of these "expert" parts clerks. Urrrrrrgh! No more Advance for me!

Manager: "You would have to go to O'Reilley's for a Wix" So I did. O'reilly's is usually my first stop but I was closer to Advance. Next time, I won't bother stopping at Advance.

And how much did you pay for the WIX filter, and what's the advantage over the BOSCH ?
More RWHP ?
