Hi,

I would like to ask Walmart customercare about where can i find vegetable oil in the store?

which of the following are right? Please clarify.

Where can I find the vegetable oil, please? This is fine.

Where would I find the vegetable oil, please? Also fine, but more polite and a bit less common.

is there any better way of expressing the same? Not better, but a bit simpler, would be

Where is the vegetable oil, please?

Best wishes, Clive
