Upsell attempts getting a little silly.

Or are they...?   I was ordering a starter for a car in the shop today.

Imagine the poor sap that's just looking for Coke Classic and he gets all of these damn automotive product suggestions.

We used to have a NAPA across the street from our shop and they sold cans of Coke cheap and super-cold. It was not unusual for one of us to run across to just buy a drink :)

In reply to Keith Tanner :

The hardware store down the street from my office has a 50s-era Coke cooler full of glass bottles. It's set to about 1/2 degree above freezing. 

I used to stop fairly regularly before I stopped drinking sodas. 

Well now I'm thirsty.

Not intended to apply to Noddaz, but... show me someone who "might also need" 70 Cokes by 1:58 p.m., and I'll show you someone I might not want to have working on my car.

It's stuff like this that makes me think the robot takeover may not happen for a while.

I appreciate them having it in a physical store. Often I'm hot an annoyed by the time I drive to a car parts shop.

my grocery store sells motor oil... only fair that my car parts provider sells food...

and to take the analogy a step further, my grocery store sells junk oil, so why would we expect good food at the car parts store

Hey, sometimes a man is thirsty.

I very, very rarely drink soda anymore. But something about one that cold is amazing. 

I might have a Dr. Pepper every few years. 

Did have to put your VIN in before you could purchase it? And then discover you ordered a Coke but received a Diet Coke when you got home?

We used to ask our NAPA to send us a couple Gatorades with the next parts run, on hot days.
