They have a tiny showroom in the front of the warehouse. I've only been in there once, to get stick electrodes, but the dude pointed me to the section and I grabbed the thing and was rung up as a walk-in customer. Not sure if there is a discount for having an account (wouldn't be surprised), and I assume they could get stuff out of the back if you need something not on display.

Like, say, your average auto parts store?

Funny related story: One time I had a fan belt blow, and happened to pull into a tire shop or something that had an account with the local parts store, but didn't actually sell belts. I talked them into ordering a belt on a rush from the nearest location of the parts store, and 20 minutes later the lil' Ford Ranger pulled up with my belt. Paying the delivery driver was ... complicated -- IIRC, I ended up paying $5 over the shop's cost (but still below retail/labor) as a bribe to the tire shop manager to falsify the forms and juggle the cash I gave him to bill it COD to the shop's account, and installed it myself.
