What more?
April 15, 2009 at 3:08 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in Randomly NotedDriving down Roswell Road this afternoon, I noticed for the first time the bold and puzzling boast on the Pep Boys sign.
Parts. Of course. That’s why I was there. For car parts.
Service. Okay. They have a shop where you can can your car fixed if you want.
What more do I want from a Pep Boys? A better question: what more can a Pep Boys store conceivably offer?
Companionship?
Foot rubs?
Organic lettuce?
Manny, Moe, and Jack seem like lovely people, but I’m sure I speak for the majority of Americans when I say all I want from them is parts, service, and maybe a soft drink if its hot outside.
While I’m on the subject, is anyone else put-off by the Captain D’s signs offering “Shrimp & More” for $3.99. I’m a sucker for large portions of inexpensive fried food, but the vagueness of “more” makes me suspicious.

I bought a $10 “car alarm” at Pep Boys in high school. It was really just a little box with a red blinking light. Is that a part? Or a gadget?

Thomas, duh. It’s so much more…

Well, thanks for asking! Captain D’s Shrimp & More is 1 pc of our famous batter dipped fish, some of our bite size shrimp, 2 hush puppies and your choice of 2 homestyle sides! Now that’s a lot of more! Right now, try our Biscuit Breaded Shrimp Basket — that is our new light and tender biscuit breaded shrimp with 2 hush puppies and your choice of two homestyle sides… did I make you hungry???
