I like this amusing thread too. I've been working on cars for 20 years. Every single core has had to be returned in the box. This is pretty much common knowledge. Even when I take my core to match it to the new part, I walk out with my new part with no box, because they kept the box to return the core in.
I also think Autozone (and the other lame auto parts stores) exist because having knowledgeable people costs money, and we all want to bargain to get 5 cents knocked off the price. The NAPA stores still seem to have knowledgeable people. When I go to an Autozone, I look up all my part numbers first, and just tell the counter person, just give me X part number. Lastly, 4 years ago when I was unemployed, I tried to get a job at Autozone or O'reiley's and I never did get an interview, yet I would see them hiring new people...I consider my self a car guy, and I would have enjoyed it...oh well.
