That latter thing I do find baffling. It's not as if 4000 CMOS chips or transistors rot after a few days. You'd think they could have at least, I dunno, ten or something.
I've never understood why with low value components, i.e. resistors, they only stock 2 of each item. It wouldn't cost much to increase this to a more useful level. Stock levels are obviously set by someone with no idea of the needs of the customer. If the item is high value I can understand not wanting too much money sitting on the shelf. I always joke with the staff that Noah must be in charge of stock control!
