Ha!
I worked in factory maintenance my career.
At one place we had a contract for supply of nuts and bolts filled by an attractive woman.
She had no competition LOL!
These hardware store owners treated the place like their personal hobby shop/man cave.
The back room would have piles of parts for machines that hadn’t been made for thirty years, filthy dirty, no labels, no price tag, in big dusty piles with cobwebs—like wtf!
