Different places seem to have different ideas about this. At least that is what I've run into. Its probably the clerks who are just clerks and really aren't familiar with the standard, but hey its something you run into, at least in my experience. I always make them tell me if its driver or passenger side, due to having to take things back plenty of times and exchange it for the opposite side.
Most parts store clerks are completely clueless teenagers or even worse clueless adults. Ya hafta find the ones that aren't and patronize their store.

This guy should be a case study in what not to do for the jackwagons running these outfits. I've been right where he was but I was a bit less profane. No less angry. When I use very short words words at barely audible volume I'm very very angry.
