What does where it was purchased have to do with anything? You sound like a builder I know who swears anything bought from Home Depot or Lowes is inferior. Even though it is in the same box and carries the same model number as a similar item sold in a local “non box store retailer”, it is nonetheless not the same and is manufactured to different and lesser standards by the manufacturer under direction from the giant retailer.
A story heard about 10 times is about a plumber who bought the identical boxed faucet from his own local plumbing supplier and from Home Depot. In taking each apart he claimed the internal parts of the one he bought from his local outlet had all brass parts while the HD item had plastic.
You can’t make this stuff up folks, these people are really out there and they are allowed to vote. Even worse, they breed.
I was just guessing that the only place you can purchase Martha Stewart merchandise is K-Mart.
All the other crap you spewed is your own personal hysteria.
