Quoth Captain Neon View PostI think these same fools wouldn't bat an eye at asking the cashier at a grocery store to bake and decorate a cake just because SC bought most of the ingredients to do the job.
Unfortunately, the customer in the OP might as well be asking for a 9-foot goat with fiberoptic fur that poops edamame and trance CDs. It just doesn't exist, at least not in this world.

Quoth Slave to the Phone View PostWhat I would have gotten fired for is answering "Why are you buying a battery in a DIY place if you won't install it?"
But seriously, I've installed batteries in several of my cars. It's not that hard. Pain in the ass on the MG, since the rear seat has to come out...and if you forget the strap, there's no way in hell you're getting it back out of the bin. At least not without dropping it on your finger at least once
But seriously, I remember seeing similar twits at the hobby shop. They'd buy a kit, and then get pissy when they open the box...and find it filled with nothing but raw plastic castings that have to be cleaned up, assembled, and painted. Really? You're buying a kit because it's cheaper. You want a finished model, the diecasts are in the other room.Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

Quoth protege View PostOf course I have a feeling that the customer was a cheap bastard
Charmed life, eh, princess? I wouldn't change the spark plugs on someone's MoPar L6 much less a Chevy HHR. She almost left her approx. 3 y/o kid behind when she stormed out.
Her husband came in later to buy another set not knowing his wife had been in earlier. A couple hours later he came back, presumably after changing the spark plugs, to return the set his wife bought before. Not a word about his wife's hissy fit from him or me, but he did have that "I'm sorry I sent her down here" look.

Actually had someone demand that we change out her spark plugs in the parking lot. Your $25 purchase does not entitle you to an hour's labour. We don't change them, and she threw a fit. She screamed, "I have never been made to feel so stupid in my whole life!"
