Grainger & Tax Numbers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I ordered 40 lb of the 20/40 corncob from Grainger & paid for it (backordered, used "will call" option), after the required registering. No problem. Got an order confirmation the same day, and the next day a "thank you for registering" email, but also an email from Joe Bob or whomever asking for my tax i.d. number or business license number (I left the business name blank on the registration) as they were a wholesaler doing business with retail merchants. I have studiously ignored it, but it raises questions about picking the order up when (and if, now) it arrives. Anyone have experience/comments?
