Let's say you need an item at Home Depot. Do you check online for the availability of the item and its location in the store (e.g., Aisle 17, Bay 6)?

I check location regularly in WM for items I’m not familiar with.
It’s much more reliable than asking an employee, who either has no clue or is too busy fulfilling an order and blocking 3 aisles at once to answer a question. |

"No that's a waste of time" is the universal answer for this poll and reading hairy's polls.

I'd rather go through the effort to get to the store and have a cow about stuff being out of stock rather than being mildly inconvenienced as I switch from Home Depot to Amazon.

It only makes sense to do, but it's frustrating when it's not in stock when you get there.

I just click on what I want to buy on Amazon and then it magically appears at my house the next day and sometimes the same day. No need to check inventory
