[TheForge] Gaaaaaaah!

Protect me from office clerks!

Just tried to get a quote on some steel stock.  The ONLY way this woman
was gonna give me ANY sort of idea what the steel stock would cost was
if I gave her an EXACT list of what I wanted and whether it would be cut
or delivered.  I don't KNOW how much I'll order.  That depends upon
price, minimum order, etc.!  Round and round!

I give up!  I'll deal with someone else.  I never had this trouble
before.  Just thought I'd try the local business.  Forget it!  I'll have
it delivered from halfway across the state rather than deal with this
bullshit!

WHY don't steel companies just creat websites from which we can
assemble an order.  No clerk to deal with.
