    Have you ever visited a RS store where the counter help actually knows
    anything about anything other than the CD players out front? I think I
    may have, once, but I'm not sure. Most of the time I can find what I'm
    looking for (or determine they don't have it) faster than any employee.

    I suspect the "parts" section of RS is much like the little bins of
    metric fasteners in the "big box" hardware stores - they're stocked
    once, when the store opens, and never looked at again.
