Fluorine is stored in Teflon (polytetrafluoroethene
or -ethylene) containers. This is due to two reasons:
1. Nearly all containers will corrode with fluorine in it; even glass containers will corrode. But since the Teflon polymer already contains fluorine, the fluorine that is stored in it can't react with the container.
2. The Teflon polymer is very non-reactive
(giving it its "non-stick"
characteristic) due to the strong bonds between the carbon and fluorine atoms, meaning it can withstand reactive and corrosive chemicals like fluorine.

Why are you unable to buy fluorine or francium in the store?
well i don't know about fluorine, but francium only has a half life of only 22 minutes, witch means in 22 minutes half of it will already be gone, so that's why you can't buy francium.
