The local plumbing supply here does sell to the public. When you walk in the public entrance door (tradesmen have their doors and dock) you are greeted with a sign that says something like "we appreciate your business but you may be waiting for some time because tradesmen are our first priority." and I can see why they don't sell to the public.
1 guy in front of me wanted a seal for some valve. counterguy finds it. he then bends the counterguy's ear for 10 minutes on how it should be fitted/fixed/everything. It's a $.50 seal.
I'm next, but an old lady barges in front of me trying to find parts for her hot tub. She takes up the next 5 minutes of his time and leaves when he gives her directions for a store that sells what she needs...brightwork and such. They went to the trouble of printing out a mapquest map for her.
