Stop in for a cup of coffee

Glad you're finding what you want. That's a good tip. Had a bunch of back and forth when I replaced the washing machine here. Everything was picked through and "unknown" back order. Finally told the guy to tell me what they had in the warehouse. The system seemed to suck as he had to go into the back and write down the P/Ns on the boxes by hand. Apparently the inventory system would not allow a general "what's in stock" query.

Be safe out there
I look around stores to see what they have. Then go online and compare specs(because sales people mostly don't know, and tell you what they think you want to hear) If it's getting delivered, I mostly just order whoever has the best price. But if it's something I can pick up, the local guy with it in stock usually gets the sale even if it's a little higher on price.
