    I am not the Oracle of Delphi

    I do not stock the very expensive, obscure and hard to source product you are looking for. The reason? Because no body wants it. Except for you.

    Telling me how bitterly disappointed you are and humphing at me will not change this. Yes, I can recommend a number of other places who 'might' have it, but I can pretty much guarantee you will not be able to find it at all.

    As much as I may appear to be the great all knowing, all seeing vision of female perfection standing in front of you. I am but a meer mortal, as you are and If I had found a way of keeping a mental and constantly updated inventory of all the products stocked by every one of the 400 local business providing food and beverage products, I would be very rich, and therefore not here.
    Yes. I know my typing sucks but I have a large orange cat sitting on my keyboard and a small disturbed dog trying to sniff his butt

    Then logical thing for your SC would have been to see if you could special order the item rather then being a complete asshat.

    But, hey, if it makes sense....

      Sense? What is this 'sense' you speak of?

        "That is not the product you are looking for..."

          I ran into something like that once. A customer wanted an adapter harness and mounting kit for installing a CD player into a 1983 DeLorean.

          Of course, we don't have these hanging on a peg anywhere because:

          1. This is, to say the least, not a very common vehicle, so no chain store is going to stock parts and accessories for it, and

          2. The items she wanted do not actually exist.

          It was surprisingly difficult to get this customer to wrap her head around those concepts.

          I can't understand how someone can own a rare or unusual vehicle and not realize that it might be difficult to find parts and accessories for it.

            I got a customer like that once. She asked if we carry any child swimsuits with a built-in life vest. We do, but she wanted the ones that had SPF 50 sun protection. Which we have none.

            I don't think those even exist anyway...
