"But guess what, last year this Ace had the highest sales in the country for its population group. And the year before, it was in the top 5 country wide in all groups.

How is that possible?"

Amazing, isn't it! Must drive the Lowes and Home Depot guys crazy. They just can't figure it out.

Customer: I need some screws to fix my front door, but I'm not sure exactly what to use.

Home Depot Wanker: Uh...screws are over there in the hardware section.

Lowes Wanker: That's not my department. I'm Paint.

Ace Guy: So, is your entry door a steel door or wood? Come with me, and we'll figure out what screws you need. By the way, are the screws kinda loose in the frame? If they are, we have some inserts that will tighten them up for you.

Say, how's that Toro you bought last month working for you? We're having a deal in a couple of weeks. You bring your mower in and we'll check it out for free...make sure everything's still OK.

I do go to the Ace from time to time, though I usually go to Home Depot. I don't buy a lot of hardware or lumber. I do buy a crap load of grass seed, fertilizer, mulch, and from time to time miracle grow. All are far cheaper at Home Depot.

I did take my lawn mower to them for repair and blade sharpening last year. Worst service ever! Took them over 2 weeks to let me know that the engine was shot and beyond repair. And that was after I stopped in 5 times asking about it.

I am a magician and do by some of my supplies at the Ace. They have a nice selection of rope that I pefer over Home Depot. They also have Harness rings, which Home Depot does not. I have fun at their bag sale too. And they always have a sale table with stuff I might need so i buy it.
