Usually Monday morning is the worst day for an amateur to visit a supply
house. All of the pros come in and the counter people will take care of
them first and won't want to be bothered with your questions. I suggest
an afternoon visit later in the week to get more attention and respect.
It's good to have the brand and part number.

Glad I'm not wherever you are...

Just go tell 'em what you want, if they've got it, they'll hand it over;
otherwise they'll either order if you want or get you an alternative.

Monday's no different than any other day--if you're next in the line,
you're next...
