I always found the merchandising at Lowe's to be pretty darn good. All their stuff seemed to be displayed nicely with price, descriptions, model numbers, and all the specs listed. The product was usually within arms reach of the display models too.

I went to Rona last year to buy a new vanity faucet for a reno.

Out of the 7-8 display models they had, only 3 were actually in stock and available to buy. They also had a few units new in box, but not out on display. The guy had to open the box and we took it out so I could look at it and touch it. Terrible merchandising.

Reminds me of the terrible car stereo merchandising at A&B Sound and Future Shops back in the day. They'd have a nice big car stereo section but nothing was labelled or priced. You were supposed to be able to press that button to turn the deck on, and match it with whatever subs or speakers but they were almost always broken or never hooked up right.
