I too am an employee, it is as Mike says, but no one hears about the 200
satisfied customers that come thru the doors daily. We , as employees do
not like to send a customer away empty handed, but it does happen.

This is a catch 22 situation for everyone...the store and the
customer.....in a perfect world the store would have everything you
desire and lots of it in stock. I can tell you from experience, the
store will always be out of some things. You try to keep your
inventory dollars at a respectabvle level and not have you inventory
get out of control, but you try to stock for your customer's needs. It
is hard to do, and then your supplier shorts you or they are
backordered and the problem gets worse. If I am making a special trip,
I will call first.

I always enjoy going to visit and see the store anyway. If they do
not have it in stock, my WoodCraft store will ordered it and ship it to
me at no shipping charge.

Try treating the store and the employees as you wish to be treated. As
an employee, we hate being out of stock as well.
