There was a whole stack of mini-drawers full of resistors next to her.
While she was off looking for her boss, I opened the drawer labelled '1k' and took ten resistors out by myself.

Cannot really blame the sales girl.. The boss should have provided them with training. At least tell them what he's selling!
