I don't think they offer local pickup :(

CC says, "Not available in stores," w/ a red x.

That sucks because the price is right and she could have picked up locally.

/me takes another swig of Pepsi on the rocks.

No, she couldn't RossMAN, the link you provided said it was OOS online & locally. :confused:

She could have picked it up locally if it were available to pickup, which it isn't (as indicated by the red x).

Have (another) :beer: on me.

I didn't "sign-in" to CC's website RossMAN; as much as I like to enjoy :beer: , don't stereotype "my" posts please :)

I didn't "sign in" either, it's pretty damn clear from the product description that you cannot order online or pickup locally.

I was just stating that IT WOULD BE NICE if it were available for local pickup (which it isn't). What's wrong with that wishful/hopeful statement?

Hypothetical situation. Let's say your local grocery store is OUT OF cornflakes, as in they are not available for local pickup. What if you received the third degree by store employees or fellow customers after stating "I wish cornflakes were in stock"?

Correct me if I'm wrong ;) but don't you sign most of your posts with Cheers :beer: and even have :beer: in your sig?

Who pissed in your conflakes today?

Hopefully no one RossMAN, as I enjoyed my breakfast :)

But, correct me if I am wrong, you posted a link to an OOS item at CC, wishing for a GD link w/ a similar item?

I am going to go to Linens and Things and see about the one mentioned a post or three up that suctions to the counter. At least that would help her so she wouldnt have to hold a grater between her knees anymore.

Thanks for the coupon offer Rossman, but I have one floating around here somewhere;)

Store locator there are several locations in Colorado.

There is almost always a 20% coupon floating around in the Sunday paper. :)

If the OP decides to buy from LNT B&M, I have a spare 20% off coupon you're welcome to have?

Please accept my apologies for the attempted thread jacking, it wasn't intentional (at least not on my part).

20% off $19.99 is only $4 but a deal is a deal.

It all boils down to differences of opinion rmrf :)

But, correct me if I am wrong, you posted a link to an OOS item at CC, wishing for a GD link w/ a similar item?

So it's a crime or against forum rules to post a link to a product that is OOS? If you must know, here's how I came across that and posted it. Hexx's helpful post mentioned the Delonghi DFG440 Cucina Food and Cheese Grater and I decided to do some more research. First I went to PriceGrabber, Froogle then Google. If you search Google using this search criteria what is the 6th result? While you're busy nitpicking my post I'll tell you WHY I decided to post a link to CC (since you asked)

Please remember the OP is looking to buy a cheese grater LOCALLY.

Of the 6 Google search results:
========================
1) Amazon.com - last time I checked Amazon doesn't have a B&M storefront in CO?
Of course, please correct me if I am wrong.

2) see #1 or is that not good enough for you?

3) http://www.njchess.com/shop/product.aspx?asin=B00006F2ML
Is just an Amazon referral, that's all. Would there be NJ Chess B&M store in CO to buy a cheese grater from? I'll let you answer that one since you're the one with all the answers.

4) http://abesofmaine.com/404.asp
Abes of Maine. Last time I checked Maine isn't located near CO?

5) http://cudacoffee.com/catalog-product.php?p_ref=837
CudaCoffee.com - do they have a B&M presence in or near CO? Ok I'll be honest I didn't check but I did assume they don't. If they do, I will be man enough to admit my errors.

6) What's this? An online store which also has a local presence that (allegedly) carries the product the OP is looking for? So I posted a NON-REFERRAL LINK to the product indicating it would be nice if it were available for local pickup.

Now that I have answered your questions, you still haven't answered mine. What's wrong with posting a wishful/hopeful statement? If someone had a terminally ill disease and I posted I wish them better, would you jump up my ass? Maybe we should try and find out?

As for your question, you are wrong. What does my web site have to do with you nitpicking all my posts? Correct me if I am wrong but that would be against forum rules? That was a nice cheap shot drag my web site into this thread, thanks Zim.

1. I'll admit RossMAN, you definitely have better resources than I do :eek:
2. No, I wouldn't.
3. I don't "nitpick" all your posts, I just ask questions and seem to receive the same "boilerplate" responses "most of the time. [Ex. you opinion on Sony lappys].
4. As for your website, if anyone posts links to it to help more members than I do in good faith, let me know :)

How do I have "better resources" than you? You have access to Google and can read, right? That's all I used.
