Living in Norwalk, “the part’s not in yet” or “it’s on order” or “are you sure you bought that here?” are common phrases. This is the small city of small inventory! I tried to get a drive belt for my lawn tractor locally, went to three different places. In each store, the clerk scratched his head, consulted his part book, shook his head several times and….came up dry! Finally went to Sandusky and found one right away! And the local merchants repeat to oft chanted refrain–“Shop local!” Yeah, sure I will.
Oh, cripes. *BAM*
