'REALtime64' Several times, also used to email costco and had my grandmother request they carry spongetech. Someone suggested going to walmart and other big retailers and searching for spongetech, I guess they record searchs for demand for products they don't carry. I try to do it about twice a day, from work and home.
I actually got the same response from walmart as one of the replies, so I started trying to call each walmart asking. That lasted for 2 calls, the people who work their couldn't care less. I guess it would be wise to speak with a manager, maybe i'll try that again.
