OK. Well then how about getting a good Home Depot vs Lowes debate going. I think we need to let the do-it-yourselfers in on the passion of the product loyalty riots.

nyuk. ;-)

As for HD vs. LOW - I dunno about you, but those “self checkout” aisles that HD has installed infuriate me. The CFO now wonders what I have against HD, and wonders why I keep going back to the corner hardware store, which costs far more than HD on most things.

The answer? I haven’t got the time to suffer the “efficiency” of the Home Depot “self-checkout” line.
There was one incident where I threw up my hands, left all the crap there on the checkout and simply walked out of Home Depot. When confronted about it by a HD employee, I told him that I was tired of trying to convince their stupid machine to allow me to pay for this merchandise and that I was going home and promptly shorting their stock.

That got a manager over, who checked out my stuff.

But I now despise going to HD. With a flaming passion.

I spent a few days on the hvac websites when I was needing a new heat pump. Believe me, people are opinionated about everything. LOL!
