It seems that way. I just astonishes me that with the computer inventory of today, they see a gizmo in a certain size sells out, all of them were SOLD they would figure is they had more of them in stock the could sell MORE of them, and make more money. I suspect often it is some lazy stocker that does not want to mess with ordering more, and putting them away when they come in. How hard is it to have the system see the sizes that sell out, and order extra of those?
It sure makes me miss the well run mom and pop hardware stores. They knew what they needed and had it in stock and knew right where they were on the shelf, and had no computers. Just people that cared. That is the real issue.
