Stopped by my local AZ and they were out of all clearance 5W30 as well as anything in jugs, but I was able to scrounge up 3 quarts of QSUD 0W20 and 2 quarts of Rotella GT in that grade and figured that would be a change for my daughter's Impreza for $10 not even considering rebates (my wife's Legacy XT calls for that grade, but I think she is going to do dealer changes for at least a while).
Went up front to pay and there was one cashier taking customers...two other employees were tapping away on registers or PCs and another was wandering around the store mostly talking to herself (she kind of freaked me out). The one active cashier was involved in a lengthy debate with a customer about parts for some kind of mod while another customer was standing at a nearby register with two quarts of ATF...I kind of stood behind the guy talking to the cashier but was definitely going to have the guy already waiting go before me if nobody else came to check people out. Another guy walked up with stuff in his arms and stood at what I belatedly realized was the checkout line, it was only obvious to people as they walked in the store but not to those coming back from where the merchandise actually was.
The cashier was gone for several minutes and finally came back with some parts, and he started to open boxes to discuss their merits with the customer he was dealing with.
This is when I bailed, I was clearly wasting my time and the store wasn't interested in and didn't deserve my meager business.
As I left, the guy with the ATF flashed me a truly desperate look...he must have really needed the stuff right then and I wonder how long it took him to get out of there.
