    I want to get into this scraping business so that I can get stuff for free. But on flip side I can help RANDOM people. It allows me to let God lead me to be his hands and feet. With that said this guy came to you. Took part off(broke it) offer less money(I'd do the same), paid you and left. Deal is done. He is the one who took the chance on a used pump. You want warranty work GET A NEW FREAKIN PART that way my 91 lumina last this past year. Cause I only have to change brakes every three months. (Yes I have to change them again.) I deliver pizza for a taxable job lol.



    I went on a rant hope your enjoy reading my post.

    Would like a nice.. yet firm way to say that. I'm trying to have a win-win situation.. but this guy just went at it like a bull in a china shop.. he even disregarded my advice to pull those hoses first!!
    I'd phrase it like this...
    "So now they own the part and can PUT it anywhere they want".......

    For the record, it's only one BK in San Francisco, an only doing for a limited time. While it doesn't appeal to me..(I prefer to keep politics out of my food..) I don't think it's worth a boycott. Nor do I boycott Chic-fil-a.

    Folks gotta do what they believe in tho. I just wanted to point out it's not a company wide thing. From what I understand..The Pride Festival is a big thing there, an hell lets be honest, it makes sense, being as it's a well known city an community open to Gay and Lesbian folk.

    Someone else can start a thread on that topic, it won't be me. lol. I cause enough trouble.

    I worked in retail for about 5 years from high school through part of college.. same store.. same job.. and I'll tell you- You are 100% Correct! Retail will show you the horses-arse of humanity!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
