O’reilly Auto Parts

Came here on a Friday afternoon and was ignored for the first fifteen minutes. Typically I would understand this if the shop were particularly busy and if the sales clerks were glued to their registers/​computer screens handling customers such that they didn’t see me wandering up and down the aisles looking meaningfully at them like a lost puppy dog.
HOWEVER, one associate (who did not appear to be serving a customer, by the way!!) made eye contact with me a couple of times (both as I uneasily approached the register and then again, later, as I paced up and down my aisle of interest, and in a weird way. I smiled and said hello, but the expression on his face was a little strange. I mean, yeah, I may not look like I know anything about cars (sheesh, you can probably smell the newbie-​ness rolling off my skin in waves), but that doesn’t mean you can glower at me! Super unhelpful.
The only reason this place is getting anything above 2 stars is that the guy at the register who I eventually was able to speak to was indeed very knowledgable and helped me out by correcting my mistaken notion that I needed two 26″ windshield wipers (I needed one 26 inch and on 18 inch); I had done some quick research online and only remember the number 26. Go figure. That was a pretty embarrassing mistake (the guy who was staring earlier was probably giggling behind his counter), but I’m glad it was remedied.
Also, the free installation of the wipers was a plus too.

Went to O’Reilly’s, they had everything IN-​STOCK and it was CHEAPER than Autozone! and the worker, was more cordial and knowledgeable on how to use their computer system and also vehicles in general, and was FAST!
It was busy, but that’s understandable, when you are running a good business model. parts in stock (no need wasting time ordering items that need to be sent over) and knowledgeable employees
