Topic	A question about grocery stores
Drakeryn 08/18/21 10:36:36 PM #19:	I've never done this. I generally do one big grocery shopping trip for the week, and if something's out of stock then I'll just deal. Big Bob posted... It's perfectly fine for people to call a store ahead of time and ask if an item is in stock. It is NOT fine to walk up to a random employee and expect them to have infinite knowledge of every single item in the store. Which is very, very common, sadly. I don't expect infinite knowledge, but I don't see any harm in asking, especially if it's a large store where I'm unfamiliar with the layout. They might be like "umm idk but if we did have it, it'd be over there in aisles 8-9" and I'm like "ok cool thanks" --- another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high <cite>Drakeryn posted [p:957219762] in A question...
