One of my best little encounters like that was at an Autozone years ago. I had broken the tiny brake bleeder screw in a Strange Engineering 4 piston caliper on our replica Beswick Grocery Getter station wagon. They flat refused to look anything up without year, make, model. I finally just gave in. "Sir, I need a rear bleeder screw for a 4-piston caliper on a 1963 Pontiac Tempest station wagon with a 541 Cu In Pontiac engine". It didn't go real well from there. I went to Oreily's and actually found the needed bleeder screws in a HELP blister pack without talking to anyone. Of course this had to be on a Sunday and I needed them right away.
