[AMC-list] O'Reilly's Sucks Compared to Kragen"s

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess some time ago the Kragen's Auto Parts chain here in the West got absorbed, bought, merged, smashed, whatever into the O'Reilly's Auto Parts chain.  Anyway, the local Kragen's stores had maintained their own computer system and AMC was firmly listed as brand number 4 on the "search for manufacturer" readout.  I could read over the shoulder of the clerk and quickly guide them to the parts family I was looking for.

Things have changed. I went to my local "now O'Reilly's, formerly Kragen's" store this morning to pick up some carb cleaner and check on the availability of a repair kit form my Carter RBS on the Rambler.   To my surprise a new O'Reilly's type computer system was in place and AMC was listed as AMC Eagle.  Uh oh,  The gal did find 65 Rambler American listed with a correct choice for the engine size, but no carb rebuild kit was listed.  There was an 888 toll free number posted for her to call about unlisted parts.  I told her not to bother.   Now how much trouble would it have been to have kept the carb kit listed in the computer?
