the local parts store has no problem with me using their computers while they help the other customers out. i have even gone to pick my part off the shelf back there as well. it helps to become friendly with them. if you explain that you are a mechanic and that they use a generic version that most parts places do and how you can navigate their system better than you....most times they will be like....IF YOU CAN DO IT BETTER SHOW ME...actually hoping that you fail....just setting themselves up for some ownage.
score 1 for me
