I ran a few 'quick' errands at lunch today. I got a copy of the Corolla key made . That went smooth and was very quick, maybe too quick. (the key only works in the ignition and not the car door). I was hopeful that this would set the tone for the rest of the trips. Unfortunately the line at Walmart return was not as much long as exceedingly slow. I had only 3-4 people in front of me and still it took 25 minutes to get the return done. Even as they were returning my stuff it was very slow. I did try to find replacement shorts in Pat's size but they did not have the ones I wanted. (his taste is not taken into account)
The dealer did not have lots of time to cut my key and allow me to get to work on time but it was just a key. Home Depot did it in less then 5 minutes. I got to the dealer and found the parts department (apparently not as easy as it sounds). I was happy to see only 3 people in front of me and 2 of those were already in the process of being helped. Then one of them started to speak Spanish to a Representative that clearly could not understand her. she tried a little English to no avail. they had to call the service person down to translate. Lucky for me she just left with him leaving me next in line.
Unfortunately shopping for parts is not an easy task. even though one of the people had the parts numbers it still took a long time. The 2nd Representative opened up when the person left with the part numbers and the prices, couldn't you have done that over the internet or on the phone maybe? When they finally left they had to get another guy to help me who said 5 minutes for the key to be cut. 25 minutes later I hear cutting in the back room. At least he came out with 2 keys for the price of one.
Now I can drive my car, YEA!!!
