So I got the urge to build an overdrive pedal, but I need a few parts. So last minute search on Google for an electronic component dealer near me, turned up an address right down the road. I called the place, and the girl on the phone, told me I couldn't show up and order, I would have go through a sales rep. She then asked me if I wanted to be connected to the sales dept. I told her yes. I asked the guy on the phone if they sale variable resistors and if they have diodes. He told me, no, they are just a front. They don't sell anything. I asked what are you a front for? He paused and said, "I don't know..." "But we don't sell resistors."

and with that I hung up. What a weird exchange.
