This is true, most stores have 16F877/16F877A. This is the only PIC that I have found common to all electronics stores in my area. Each store also has random 18F pics.
At the counter of a store, a newbie would say "do you have 16F877"? and the clerk would know what they are talking about. If they say "do you have 18F2550", they will reply "what the heck is that???"
