When I worked for WNBC-TV in NYC in the mid-1980s I walked into
Willoughby's Camera just down the street from the Empire State
Building looking for B&W Polaroid Film for our Scope Camera.

They had some, $40 a pop, IIRC.  I said great,  I work for NBC and
I'll get you a PO.

The clerk immediately said in that case it would be $120 a pop, they'd
sold to NBC before and it had taken forever to get paid.
