The other thing to think about is when those questions are asked for, and the "Experienced" counterman skips them just to get you your intake gasket or whatever... What happens when there is something else you need? I have worked in auto part stores for the last 7-8 years and nine times out of ten there is always something the customer forgets and right before the end of the transaction they remember.
So say you come in looking for brakes for a 87 Camaro. I skip asking you/you give me an attitude for asking what motor size or whatever, only to findout you need brakes and spark plugs. I now have to go back in and reenter the vehicle info. Had you told me what I asked initially this wouldnt be a problem. That or you come in with whatever car looking for one thing, then remember another only to realize when you get home that the other part is wrong. Then you come back like a raging moron because the coutnerman knows **** and ****ed up only to learn you didnt give him the correct info/he skipped asking you because he automatically knows.
