New location and building on N. 1^st St. in Dixon. A block from my work. Stopped in for a replacement brake light bulb for my 04 Camry. No big deal. Asked the clerk to run the numbers so I made sure I was getting the right part. He was kinda smug and frankly a little irritating, throwing around the «No worries» when he went to grab the correct bulb off the shelf for me. He said that was a very common bulb, no problem. But his smugness was interrupted when he found there were no bulbs of the correct number anywhere on display, any brand. He says «No worries-​this one will be just a little brighter but will work just fine.» Maybe 1 watt brighter”. ?? Having purchased the incorrect bulb the day before at a different auto store, I was kinda hoping to get the CORRECT bulb for my vanilla car. I reluctantly took the 2 pack of bulbs, opting to go for the hooptie look rather than the no brake light look. I decided to take a gander around the store for a minute before my purchase, and I got the «no worries» slogan go-​ahead from the clerk. I checked the price of a quart of Pennzoil, having bought 2 quarts at the most expensive gas station in town recently for $ 6.99. Wal-​Mart-​$ 3.40, Oreally’s $ 6.50. What a disappointment. I promptly paid for my 2 pack of improper light bulbs, knowing I was going to eat it, and I did. $ 5.37. The Napa 3 doors down sells them single for .$ 89. Oops. Learned my lesson today.
