Is this the same situation where you live?

Yes, the few stores around here have stuffed the few parts into those
cabinets. I don't think they are that bad, I'd like a couple dozen for
my shop here at home for bigger parts. I have 25, 50 drawer parts
cabinets already full of parts, but the drawers are too small for rotary
switches and large connectors. Maybe they will pitch them out if they
drop their remaining parts. There are six stores within an hours drive.
