We do not sell that product here

[Zyanya]

I work in a hardware store.

We do not sell the following -

600 count cotton sheets
Baby formula
Ink Cartridges
Finger Paints
Blenders
Starbucks coffee (we do actually sell coffee, but it's the type that can clean the rust off a lawnmower)
Turkey basting bags
Frozen Fish
Nitroglycerin

Please update your records accordingly.

I believe I speak for a large group of people when I ask this.

What.

Congrats. You have shreaded all faith in humanity I gained after it being shreaded. You are number 14.

[Stryker One]

Nitro?!?! WTF? Did you call 911 after that request?

Blenders
Turkey basting bags

The hardware store here sells these.

[Evil Queen]

My hardware store sells turkey fryers too.

[lupo pazzesco]

600 count cotton sheets
Frozen Fish
Nitroglycerin

The entire list is odd, but these are the big three that make me go "buh?"


Right then. Records updated successfully.

See, what I pictured--was someone like my grandmother--thinking--for some odd reason, that she could get her prescriptions filled at the hardware store, and getting her glycerin filled.

Not the blow stuff up kind...

Hardware store person, do you ever tell you customers "You should try...Michaels... they might have that..."
Which becomes "but they told me at HARDWARE Store that ya'll had this!"

hehe.

This makes me want to open up my own shop with the most random things as possible.

Toilet paper, paddle balls, wrenches, motorbikes, cooking spray, vcrs, with a built in post office and taco stand.

So...walmart?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

So...walmart?

Nuh-uhh. Wal-Mart has a Subway.

At least the one in my city does.

[Evil Queen]

Lucky git! My wal-mart has a nasty McDonalds in it.

[simplyanother]

Hehe.

Our walmart had subway, then something happened, and there is no subway anymore.

Other walmarts near by have Mickey D's in 'em.

One of my local hardware stores does sell blenders and small appliances, but the other ones such as sheets and ink seem odd. The most computer related stuff I have seen at a hardware store was the wall plates to cover phone and data drops.

There are a few I consider understandable, but a couple of them made the list because inevitably, after I respond with 'I'm sorry, but we don't carry that', the person argues with me about it.

The big pain is also the 'but you have it on your website'. And we do. And right there, next to the ad for it on the website are the big bold words 'ONLINE ONLY'.


And I don't count things like the frazzled woman following her husband around the store leaning over to quietly ask me 'by any remote chance, do you sell tampons here?'. Nope, but I was happy to sneak her one out of my purse.
