You know, Mainlanders is a funny place. Sometimes it almost seems like they're really not that into selling merchandise at their store. When they had their grand opening, I had a really hard time finding someone who would help me. And when I did, it didn't take long before that person would be distracted and wander off somewhere.

Several times I've gone by on weekdays because it's not far from where I work, and even though it's during times when it's supposed to be open, it's not. And another time we went on a Saturday, and there was a sign in the door that they were at lunch and would be back by 1:30 -- so I waited, but they didn't show up till after 2.

They are a wholesaler and internet company. One does not really need a large staff for that. They sell lots more to stores and people around the country than to one person per day walking into the showroom.
I'd imagine that it would actually be a hassle for them when walk-ins are preventing them from getting $1000 orders packed, loaded and shipped out.
