I'm not sure, but I kind of love wandering around DIY stores, so I would probably spend some time doing that, picking up en route a selection of objects that until now, I never knew I needed. Eventually, I would either stumble on the doormats, or I would leave with my shiny loot, only to recollect that I had come for a doormat later.

Something else: Garden area is too obvious. They'll probably be in a "homewares" section full of no end of random stuff.

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...

I found a nice one at the garden centre last year when I wasn't looking.

I'm afraid I've probably been that shop assistant, it's very easy to get so tuned in to the logic of your branch's layout that you forget that it's not necessarily obvious to the rest of the world.

I must admit my first thought was with the carpets, oh, they don't do carpets, maybe with the flooring then, but whether that's the result of nearly twenty years of retail brainwashing or sheer blind luck I don't know.
