Boof Heads! behind the counter.

So, other than the heinous crime of being out of stock, why was he a 'boofhead'?

Axle
It seems his crime was not knowing beforehand what stock he held, bearing in mind he must have 16000+ different items to keep track of, boy what a boofhead he is!!!

My years in auto spares tells me that the customer in front of me has the ONLY model that any manufacturer ever made, and why I did not have the part for his car was a personal insult to him and his offspring.

The guy tried to steer you straight, and then found out the purchasing guy let the side down, this does not make him a Boof Head, just a fool for trying to help and let down by others.

I am sure he offered to get one quick time for you. Or did you storm out before then??. Give him a brake mate, and go down there tomorrow and give him a big hug!!!! I am sure that will straighten him up and restore his cofidence a heap.

Maybe old stock that he cannot move??? And the fast moving stock is just that, fast moving and out of stock???

If the genuine item is such good quality then why did the original equipment water pump die? Does that make the cheaper vesion better value?

If he was out of stock then it was probably someone else that sold the last one and somehow did not update the stock list. So maybe it was someone else who is a boofhead ?

To quote an old ad slogan "let your fingers do the walking" Buy else where. I just bought a water pump for my GU, prices ranged from $100 through to $300. I bought the only one in town. These days if its not a Falcon or Bommodore you have to wait a day, till it comes in.

Hey Axle

You sure you weren't looking in a mirror or talking to yourself...LOL

I found Axle's story quite amusing,,,,,,,,,,,if I'd have been a fly on the wall, I'd have been rolling my eyes as well!

I agree with Axle - the guy's a boofhead. It musta been "Pythonesque"!

Axle, you ought to try the businesses around here ! Yesterday got a tyre fixed and asked for a new battery as well. No worries, in it goes. Flat as, not even dash lights. Come back this avo, and we'll have it charged. Gave them all night to charge it. This morning is a carbon copy. New battery is as dead as yesterdays news. They ring battery bloke. (around 11am)...he will be there around 3pm.
I felt sorry for the tyre guys, most embarrassing. But the battery business?
1) didn't rotate stock (new battery was too old to start the vehicle..my old one was better)
2) didnt provide the service that they should have
What a way for the battery company to do business.
