Shopping not Buying

Today I went shopping. I went to the store, asked if they had a particular item. Yes. May I try it? Yes. OK. I like it and would like to buy it. Sorry, we don't have one in stock. We'll let you know if it becomes available. Fine. If it is over a month, scratch me off your list. That is so annoying, to find what I want, try it out, and not be able to buy it. Ho, Ho, Ho
