The very nice lady told me A) I'm one of three female assemblers she's talked to on that Walmart only parts order line- one of the others works in Hawaii- and B) the shifters are back-ordered for at least three weeks. Luckily, I was calling from the phone in the Electronics department. This put me in a great position to watch one of the display TVs. It was showing "Tom & Jerry" cartoons so all in all it was a pretty good way of blowing thirty minutes.
