You're missing the point. It's NOT that an extra few seconds or minutes would ruin anyone's day or that any of us are ENTITLED to spend the least amount of time in a store.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
