So I went to the usual yard today with my 248lbs of copper. I had it separated into many clear bags. I had tin coated wire, romex, insulated wire, clean pipe, soldered pipe, roof copper that was burned, roof with tiny bit of tar and about 60 foots of copper grounding cable. The usual spanish guy was at lunch so this quiet one comes up and starts throwing my bags into piles on the scale. He says clean pipe, #2 pipes. I agree. Now the rest if funny, he calls the burnt roof #3 and Grounding cable #2 and mixes a bunch of stuff and says #3 lite. He had no personality at all and could not respond to anything other than #3 and #2. I thought the cable would be #2 wire since they don't have a BB category but he called it #2lite. So when I go into pay I say to the american guy can you explain this. He said sure, we went out there and he checked it was ok. He told me they have their own #'s so #3 to them in not junk stuff like at other places. The prices seemed fair so I guess he was right. I just have the feeling I pissed off the spanish guy.

I said to the the american guy I like the other guy cause he will talk to you as he goes through your stuff. He laughed and said yes, the guy today knows his stuff but isn't a people person.
