The really annoying thing is chain stores which refuse to acknowledge that varying regions have differing needs. After moving to AZ, I looked for flashlights with “black light” to hunt for scorpions (no one carries them), and the fact that clothing stores think that everyone wants wool etc starting in October (even though we have temps in the 70s most of the time until December). No wonder that I prefer to shop on line when “local” venders do not acknowledge local needs (Ace Hardware is one exception).
