I walked into an AA today in Florida looking for Castrol Edge EP that's on 'CLEARANCE' but of course none was on the shelf.
I asked the counter guy if they had any 0w20 or 5w20 and he went into the back and returned with a 5 quart (or maybe 5 litre) jug of Total Quartz 0w20 saying he had no Castrol. I said I'd take the Total Quartz knowing it was also on 'CLEARANCE'. It rang up for a nickel and the guys face dropped. I said I'd pay more than that just tell me the price. He asked his boss who said he couldn't sell it. I asked what he was going to do with it...he stammered and couldn't give an answer. I would have thought that he would have been happy to sell it for $10 or so but I guess he'll take it for himself for a nickel or give it to a friend for that. What do you think?
