Not that this post necessarily bears a response, but, I'm not in retail parts. I have 2 counter-people that deal with the 3 or 4 retail customers that come in. I handle all of the wholesale accounts my store has. My job is very relaxing. The man that owns the store pays me very well and on time. I get 2 weeks paid vacation a year, a christmas bonus equal to 2 weeks pay, 5 sick days (never used em), use of a delivery truck whenever I need it, a tank of gas a month for use of my personal vehicle for business. I close my store early on Saturdays during college football and still get paid for a full day. I also get afternoons off, with pay, every so often to do whatever. He buys my breakfast every morning and lunch most days. He takes me out for dinner and beer once a month to go over business issues. I get parts for next-to-nothing and have use of the warehouse space to work on vehicles at my leisure. There's more that I can't think of right now, but you get the jist. Sounds real frustrating, doesn't it?
