One. more. time.
When purchasing in quantities like this, order online & pick-up at your local store; only a limited amount of their in-stock inventory is going to be on the shelf, and finding an associate who's willing and able to retrieve what you want is often an inordinate waste of time and effort.
Seriously though folks, what's your time worth? It's
so easy to do this, go to the customer service desk, have the items you want already pulled, and get out of there in just a few minutes.
P.S. - There's no additional cost for this service, and on multiple occasions, I've actually paid less as the website price is lower than what's on the shelf.
