Re: [Amc-list] Preservation Not Restoration

[Bruce Griffis <bruce.griffis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, that sounds rough - and your kind of attention is just what a
hobbiest or restorer needs. About a year and a half ago, I looked at
the price for a parts store thinking that would be a fun thing to do.
I didn't go that route as I have zero experience and less cash - but
it is too bad the economy is rough right now. I bet there would be
room for another specialty parts shop with knowledgeable people.

Then again - you are in that industry, and you know far more than me!

Our micro-manager (referring both to his brain and stature) was with 1 customer during the same period of time, yet I also answered the phone 5 times, took orders and played cashier for several others. 2 other front counter people couldn't seem to work up their giveadam enough to handle anything other than putting parts away. The manager got really p!$$ed when I pointed out my sales were higher than anyone else's, both in numbers and $$. Then I got the "It's a team effort" speech and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to lunch.
