Regardless of who was at fault for this kid not knowing how to operate the machine, it IS just a wee bit ridiculous for a customer....excuse me, a "guest" to wait for 20 minutes and multiple employees before SOMEONE knows how to work the danged thing! No manager or asst. manager could do it? Maybe the person who normally worked that area was on break at that time. Would it have hurt to go help out and then resume your break? (yes, I know...some places don't/won't allow that)

When we were growing up, most of us were learning about mechanical things. Nowdays, kids are mostly learning about computerized things. That makes a disconnect, especially in areas where mechanical still rules.

For all the people saying that at least he has a job, well, yes. He does. But why? Was there nobody else more qualified to take the job? Or was it that the store didn't think they could hold onto someone more experienced at the wages they were willing to pay?

There's 2 sides (usually) to a story and, in this case, more. I, for one, can understand and relate to why Bob was a bit miffed about the whole event.

...And for the record, we're over 200 miles from the nearest Menard's or Lowe's. :P~~

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga ...
