I've been very frustrated with inventory systems of late. I recently wanted to replace the gate latch on our gate. Our gate is slightly unusual, like everything about our house, as it was built by the former owner who was a handyperson of the "just enough knowledge to be dangerous" variety who really liked to wing it. Looking at Home Depot and other similar sources online, I found many latches that I liked, but all were marked as being things you could only obtain in-store, not online, but which were also out of stock at all stores. When going to stores under the premise of, "Well, let's see what they actually have," I encountered displays similar to the one you describe where many lovely latches were shown and their features compared, but none of them corresponded to any of the actual latches being stocked, nor were there empty spaces corresponding to the advertised-but-out-of-stock models or the on-the-chart-but-not-apparent models
