So true!! “Selling jeans and outdoor gear is far different than selling pool supplies, which can be quite technical and nuanced.”

Thanks Herb. Regarding Paycom, Warren Buffet won't buy anything he can't understand or unravel. Pretty smart rule.

Anecdotal info, but my experience with Leslie's, there's nothing you can't get there, that you can't get at half the price on Amazon. They have good service, testing water keeps people coming in the door, but their chemicals and everything else are exorbitantly priced. And chlorine is now being sold by Sam's Club, Costco, Home Depot, etc. so there's lots of competition too. It's anecdotal info though, I think it's in "no touch" category, tough business though.

Agreed, but think Best Buy. That's the closest corollary, especially if you need something NOW.
