I would probably check out the garden area first, but then think 'oh right' and head to the flooring section, which is where I actually think they should be (and why I ticked that box). If they weren't there, I think I'd give in and ask.
I'm guessing your experience is that they were somewhere unexpected? After all, logic is not always used in shop design...
They were actually in the laminate flooring section. It's just that I had no idea, so tried near the doors, and then headed into the garden area (which is about half a mile from the doors; it's a very big shop.) On my second visit to the garden area, I finally asked someone, and I got the impression that the person I asked thought, "why on earth is she out HERE? Obviously they won't be here! Isn't it obvious that they'll be with the laminate flooring?"
Well, having said that would be my second port of call, I'm not so sure now. If they were selling carpets, then yes, but having thought about it, DIY stores don't sell that type of thing usually and I might not associate doormats with laminate flooring.
To be honest, I should have clicked the garden area. For some reason, that seems to make sense to us shoppers! Maybe we should tell the DIY stores that?!
