OMFG I detest stupid people. The battery in the MB finally gave up, after 8 years it was borrowed time, so I yank the battery out, throw it in the back of Peggy and head into town. I swing by Advance Auto, since there batteries are made by Johnson Controls, AKA Interstate, these will work.
I roll up to the counter and the following conversations takes place.
Me: Good morning, I need a Battery for an 02 Mercedes, C240
Dumbass: Sorry we don't have one
Me: Do you have one across town?
Dumbass: No we don't stock batteries that are mounted in the trunk.
Me: Okay that is fine but mine is under the hood
Dumbass: No it isn't, your battery is located in the trunk.
Me: Hold the phone there partner, you see these patches on my jacket? You see this Mercedes key in my hand? You see the Battery I have here for a core? Trust me it came from under the hood. There is an issue with whoever programmed the info in the computer. The C230 is mounted in the trunk, not the C240, so now that we have that covered do you have a battery that will fit my car?
Dumbass: No Sir we don't stock trunk mounted batteries.
Me: I see you hail from the shallow end of the gene pool
Dumbass: Huh?
Manager: Sir can I help you
Me: Yeah do you have a battery that fits my car?
Manager: No Sir we don't stock trunk mounted Batteries.
Me: Is breathing the only requirement for employment here? Y'all have a nice day I need a smoke and some coffee.
I walked out and got my battery, at the Advance across town.
