Same experience here. Just walked into the local Grainger, told them what I needed, and then paid for it. Can't remember if I had to tell them who I worked for, but they knew it was for an individual.We have a Graingers and a McMaster Carr near us, and I phone in an order using the company I work for, then pick up the order and pay with a credit card. There's never been any hassle or need for a Purchase Order.
