Junkyard 2
Feeling luck was on my side, I walked into the office and told them what I needed. While waiting for an answer, I looked around and it seemed to have all kind of spare parts. You name it. A minute later, the clerk hung up the phone and quite happily said "No. We don't have the seatbelt. How about a new one?"
I thought he was kidding. Without giving much of a thought, "This is a junkyard. You carry new parts too?" I could feel he was offended. Apparently they sell used and new parts. It hit me. It was possible that he wasn't upset when he "found out" they didn't have any used seatbelts because they made more selling new ones. Now, I was a little pissed. Guess what. I went home empty handed but my best friend seemed to enjoy the ride. Good for him.
Are there any mistakes?
Thanks.
