Finding a keyboard wrist rest is almost impossible when it's not online.

I went to 3 different stores before I found the right place to buy a wrist rest or keyboard wrist pad for my desktop PC. First I went looking at Walmart and found nothing there, then secondly I searched throughout Target and when I finally about gave up on it, asked a clerk in the computers and accessories department, "Do you sell computer keyboard wrist pads?" She replied, "No we do not." Not offering any explanation, I then asked, "Why don't you sell them? I see that you do sell mouse pads." She replied, "We just don't sell them." She was so abrupt and rude I felt like I was talking to an unprofessional sales rep working out of high school. I walked outside the Target and down the block to the Office Depot/OfficeMax and looked and found one brand of a gel type keyboard wrist pad and noticed it came in both blue and black and was on sale for 10.99 each. So at the register I handed the checker twelve dollars to cover it and she asked me for 14.89 or something like that amount. I said, "They were for sale at ten dollars and ninety-nine cents." She told me she would ring them up at the price I quoted. I paid her and then walked back to the rack they were on display for 10.99 and realized I was right on the money with that price. I walked out the front door of the store and told the checker as I exited, "They are for sale at ten ninety nine and come in black and blue." She paid me no apparent attention. I felt like I was talking to myself. So far today I ran into two types of people who do not seem to under stand when a person is either conveying information or asking for it. From now on I think I will make my office supplies purchases online.
