  I was looking for a battery holder for a CR2032 for a project I was working on. I phoned the store to ask if they had this part, and the fellow who answered said they did. Great, I thought, so I replied I'd probably stop by then. However, when I went there later that same day and asked, the kid at the counter hadn't a clue. He checked with the guy in the back room, who said that they didn't have any. Surprise, surprise. I was mad about the wasted trip. Who wants to run around any more than they have to, especially on a weekend? If they didn't have any, fine, but then why say you have it when you don't? That is not the way to win friends and influence people. Well, technically I suppose it does influence people but in a negative way, and believe me, guys, that's not what you want. I ended up ordering what I wanted online anyhow, stalling my project. It's probably cheaper online anyhow. Listen, guys, if you want to compete with online stores, you HAVE to beat them by providing 1) better service and 2) greater convenience. Sending people on wild goose chases is NOT the way to do it.

  Easy to buy online. The battery was ready when I got there. When I got there, the guys informed me I had made a mistake based on the battery I was replacing, I needed a different one. So glad they helped out so I didn't mess up the electronics on my motorcycle. Got home and it worked perfect. Thanks!
