I first checked the website to make sure the recliner I wanted was in stock. The result indicated that my item was "In Stock for North Olmsted, OH". The recliner I was shown at the store had electric controls. I wanted manual controls, as was indicated on the website and shown to be in stock at this store.
The salesperson told me that their store was a display-only store, and that I would have to order the recliner I wanted and there is a $100 delivery charge. I told him that many years ago when I purchased a La-z-boy recliner in 2009, I was able to take it home myself and save the delivery charge. He then began to lecture me as to how the cost of fuel has risen since 2009. What does this have to do with taking the recline home myself ?
Then when I told him that the La-Z-Boy website indicated my recliner was "In Stock for North Olmsted, OH", this salesperson told me that it would have been in stock had the website said, "In Stock at North Olmsted, OH". So it would seem that the preposition "for" means the product is not actually at the store, and the preposition "at" means that the product is really at the store.
I further suggested that I will wait until the recliner is shipped to the store and then pick it up. The salesperson told me that since the warehouse was in central Ohio, I would have to pay $100 shipping cost whether it is shipped to the store in North Olmsted, OH or shipped to my house.
Needless to say, it became clear to me that this salesperson holds precious little knowledge about the business and even less skill in winning potential buyers. But he did engage in rambling and irrelevant talk to prove otherwise. For myself, I could have saved a trip to the store and purchased the recliner on-line and paid the $100 shipping cost. However after this experience with La-Z-Boy, I decided to explore reputable furniture retailers elsewhere.
