As a retail worker, I know full well the pain of a customer shopping in store for a vendor we don't carry, or an item we don't have. On the one hand, a store can't carry everything. On the other, retailers use the excuse of "just ship it to them" to avoid doing the work of actually looking at store assortments and ASKING THE STORES what they need. It's particularly difficult when you are on commission, as the customer says "I'll just order it myself" instead of letting the sales person order it from the store to get the sale. There is nothing worse than being to of stock and having the customer say "the event is this weekend" or "I fly out tomorrow" and walking out the door.
