Graybar in Columbus has commonly used items out in the open too, it really makes a diff, when you can grab a bag of jacks, a log of tape, a box screws and walk up to the counter ready to checkout... instead of the list and number game. I usually call ahead and order stuff that's not in the open, and have it sitting in will call. and of course free popcorn.

The alarm suppliers also have most everything out in the open. One of the electrical suppliers I deal with locally has EVERYTHING behind the counter, so you tell them what you need, they write it down, go get it, and you hope it's the right thing. On electrical supplies, I never know part numbers so sometimes it's a guessing game. I have used this Graybar many times (across from the lake), they also have the best free peanuts! The guys here seem to actually know what they are doing.

I personally don't care for graybar, but tend to use some smaller shops that we can send some volume to. I find the service is much better, although large jobs will require some advance notice since they don't stock enough. Just ordered 300 swivel J hooks and they had only 50??? That's the downside.

I've also had good luck working with CSC in Akron, OH (formerly Famous Telephone) They always had what I needed, in stock, and would ship to the jobsite. This was great because the branch is about 45 minutes away from me.
