So, even though the UPRR mechanic looking for the switch knows he can go down the street and get it from the local auto parts store for 50% less than we sell it for and walk out of that same auto parts store with it in his hand, he can't.
I know that feeling. It was a pain to deal with. I've bypassed the preferred vendor a few times, and got yelled at for it. Now, as long as I have a receipt to go with it, they don't argue so much about it. Sometime, you just gotta bite the bullet. lol.
