The last time I went to Graingers for a personal project, I went to the store with an ordered list of nine(!) motors, any of which would be okay as a replacement for my sprinkler pump. The list was basically ordered by efficiency. They gave me the usual hassle about wholesale only until I produced a business card.
The local store had exactly none of the motors in my list in stock or available. What they did have was a PSC POS that pulled much more current for the same power than any of the others. OTOH, it's been running fine for ten years.
That happened before their last internal reorganization, and they've demonstrated better performance wrt to having what's in the catalog, on the stuff I've bought for company projects since then.
