Ordering Desk at OSH

 There was a position at OSH hardware store called the ordering desk.   Many contractors came to my register and did not know about it.  I told them about it when they applied for a OSH Commercial credit card verses the other one.


I told them they could have a credit commercial card and then have additional credit cards with the same number on it, to match the name of their company.  So, they can keep track of their workers spending.  While they filled out the application and I rang up their sale I told them about the Ordering desk.


The ordering desk at OSH hardware is where a special order takes place.  So, instead of purchasing only three of one product that is found on the shelf, they could go to the Ordering desk at OSH hardware and special order more of the same items.   So, they could purchase 100 boxes of the certain product that they needed.  The ordering desk would quote them a price for that amount of one item.  Then it would take about 1 week to 2 weeks for it to show up at the store.   Then they would hand a ticket to the cashier who would ring them up for the item.   OSH had a back door for heavy pick-ups.   So, then the contactor would go to the back door of the warehouse (warehouse was located in back of store) and drive around with the pick-up / trailer /truck and the OSH warehouse personnel would put the merchandise into the contactors pick up/ trailer/truck for them only after the warehouse crew member or manager took a look at the receipt.
