Re: Anyone else done with Oriley Auto parts?

I know I'm digging up an old subject here, but I had to share an experience I had at Autozone today.
I went in to get an antenna for a '91 Suburban I just bought, and the guy behind the counter (whom I've known for many years, but had never seen him working in Autozone before) gets on his computer (Half or three quarter ton? Engine size? 2WD or 4WD? You guys know the drill) and tells me which one I need. I noticed that the plug that goes into the radio is tiny, much smaller than I was used to seeing, but he assured me it was the right one.
I mount the thing all up, string the wire through the firewall and under the dash, and guess what? The plug is wrong for the radio.
I go back to Autozone and tell him he gave me the wrong one, so he gets back on the computer. "Here's the problem", he says. "I gave you an antenna for a 350 instead of a 454."
