I was busy or would of asked them if they no longer required being a business to buy there.

a word to the wise about grainger.

they own a onlline company called zoro. the packaging part numbers and merchandise are identical. but the pices are dramatically better

I don't know how long it's been, but I've shopped at our local Grainger for years (10,
maybe longer?)

I've never had a business account with them.

I also shop at the parts counters in the back of lighting stores and kitchen/bath design
centers, amongst all the contractors. No business account but much cheaper and better
selection than any home center. Also better help...much, much better, whether it comes
from the guys behind the counter or one of the friendly contractors on my side.
