It's no different than walking into a parts store and asking for a part. You even give them the part number and the first thing they ask is "what's it for?". Shouldn't really matter what it goes on if I give you the correct part number shouldn't it?
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

People have probably tried to keep it a secret from you but a lot of folks just aren't all that smart

If they ask for a belt ask them if they want a belt up side the head.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

People have probably tried to keep it a secret from you but a lot of folks just aren't all that smart Look around the next time you're in Walmart look around at the smart people and the dumb people. Now try to pick out the guy who's right in the middle of the group - with the average IQ of everyone in the store. Then consider that half the people there are stupider than he is.

Just sell them the first one you can pick up. Then when they come back and say it does not fit maybe they will have more info There was a guy years ago that got filthy rich in the long distance phone business. He had a list of companies, I don't care, whatever, It doesn't matter etc. When people would make a long distance call they were asked which company they would like and he pretty much had any answer covered and his companies charged way more than any of the traditional ones.

Saw chains are even more fun. At least they are printed on the bar. MTD is too cheap to print a belt sticker.

Probably never broke a mower belt before. Which means it's probably their first mower. Or the first time they've not taken it to a shop to get fixed

Auto industry is no better you could almost tell the kind of car some people had by the questions they asked. Had a guy that wanted a diaphragm that was “under his hood” when I asked what one he got upset like I should know the exact on he needed with that info.
None mechanical people are clueless no different then if I’d I tried to fix a computer by myself I’d be lost then.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

People probably do this because it hasn’t occurred to them that there are hundreds of different sizes of belts. Unless this is your first week working at the lawn mower store maybe it is time you changed your job. It sounds like your patience to serve your customers has run out. Nailed it!
