Support Your Local Hardware Store

Since I've become a homeowner, I've spent a lot of time looking for parts, tools and other hardware. I've come to this conclusion: Home Depot sucks. My most recent trip involved wandering the aisles endlessly without finding what I needed or even someone in one of those obnoxious orange apron's to help me. I got so frustrated I left.
Unfortunately I was forced to go back later that night for something else. Once I found what I was looking for, I made my way to the checkout, only to find that all the checkouts were closed and only the self-checkouts were open. There was a line of about ten people and I had to sit and wait while people slowly figured out how to scan their items, pay for things, whatever. And what was the one employee doing the whole time? Staring off into space like nothing was going on.
That's it, I'm done. No more Home Depot. From now on, I'm going to the local hardware stores in my neighborhood whenever possible.
