Seriously????? "Irish name" Auto store????

I swear if I walk into another "man" store and get treated like a stupid girl I am going to SCREAM!!!  The orange hardware store, you know the one is bad, but I just walked into an auto store and I should have just turned around and just walked out!  They were SO helpful, NOT!!!!  Here's the thing, if a woman walks into an auto store with her manual in her hands, she probably is a smart cookie, considering that she took the time to LOOK at the manual before she came in to ask her question!  So my fuse for the front auxiliary power was out, let's all be honest here it's the cigarette lighter that we all use for our cell phones and other contraptions to plug into our cars... ANYWAY.  I tell the guy, that the fuse is blown, but I don't think that it is in the fuse box inside the car it might be the fuse box under the hood near the engine.  He says, "there is no way the fuse is in the engine fuse box."  I BEG TO DIFFER ass wipe, so I say to him, "I looked in the manual and the only fuse that is labeled the front auxiliary power fuse is in the front/ engine fuse box." again he says, "there is no way"  Do you think the joke of a sales man would even come out to the car to help me, I mean there was NO ONE in the store with him but the other guy sales man who was leaning on his counter and the girl worker who was sweeping the floor.  DON"T EVEN GET ME STARTED on that!!!!  So I go out and check the fuses INSIDE the car, none of them are broken.  OH wait... He told me that I would have to purchase a fuse extracting mechanism, again, I BEG TO DIFFER, it's called a fingernail and a key my friend, Oh and that doesn't cost $5.00!!!  I pull the fuse that he thinks is the cause of it from the inside fuse box, GEE it isn't broken,  So then I go outside again to look under the hood in the "no way it can be in the engine fuse box" FUSE BOX and gee low and behold I pull the fuse that is labeled the front auxiliary power fuse and it is broken, I walk it back into the store go the the fuse aisle get a pack of fuses, take them to the guy who is STILL leaning on the counter, purchase them, and the guy says, I KID YOU NOT, your welcome!  For what shall I be welcome for Jack of NO TRADES, the fact that you scanned the fuse box and took my money?  I did all the work, I found the problem, even when you said that it couldn't be where I wanted to look in the first place.  OH MY GOD I will never go in to your store again and I will tell all my friends not to go in there, because I know more than the sales people, WHY you ask? Because I can read a car manual and ACTUALLY find the problem and fix it MYSELF!  So moral to this tidbit, when a women walks into your store with her manual in her hand, listen to her and try to help, don't just blow her off because you are not smart enough to read a car manual yourself.  Just because you are a male, you were not born with car knowledge from birth!  Ugg!  Thank god my dad brought me up to do things myself!  The guy at the store told me that I could take it to a car dealership and they would be able to replace the fuse for me for a charge, Oh thank you Oh wise one, but I'd rather do it myself for $5 then ask ANOTHER man to dismiss me and charge me $127 an hour at the dealership.  What's up with that anyway?  $120+ an hour to work on a car?  And they charge that even if it takes them LESS than an hour!  What is this world coming too?
