Could you please tell me if you have any electric typewriters _____? A. in store B. in stock Note: Is there a reason why A is less preferred answer? I can’t wrap my head around it. ThanksI think I have heard in TV commercials that "XXXX is now in store." Did I hear it wrong?

B. in stock(meaning kept/stored in a warehouse) and ready to be sold

hahaha, yeah, that is right. Thanks!

you can say that too, but it's not clear if you are referring to ones that you want to buy, or just in general. For example, in a manager's office.

Does A needs a 'the' to be correct? "Could you please tell me if you have any electric typewriters in THE store?"
