I got great service and an excellent price from F.W. Webb-- but
only after calling a second store. The guy at the first store said he
couldn't sell me unless I was a licensed plumber!!
Have you ever heard of such a thing?????

Yes, I have. Webb is one of the larger plumbing supply houses and sells
wholesale. Most of their customers are either commercial, industrial, or
professional accounts and they don't want to compete with (and **** off)
their customers. You'll get a similar answer if you go to Green Giant and
want to buy a can of peas.
