Slang of the Trade
I have learned something new today.
At certain auto parts places, the phrase "sure, we have that, come on by" means, "well, we have a junkyard out back, you're welcome to take a look".
Bloody hell, if I have to dig through junk to find it, and wrench it out myself, I feel like I should be able to just walk off with it. Moot, though, since they didn't even have anything close to what I needed.
P.S. If you have an over-active imagination (I do), an auto junkyard is a damn morbid place.
