Are you all fukn
kidding??????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????

I carry around a lawnchair, marshmallows, spam, & a weiner stick, my old boy
scout song book, mosquito repellant, and a sturdy wool blanket in the trunk
of my car at all times.
Why, you ax....

Because in the blessed event that I am driving by a HD that just happens to
be burning itself down to the ground, I'd like to stop and savor those
moments and images, in some comfort and nutritious style, and hark back to
the good ol' days, around the campfire.... and when you could go to a
regular fukn hardware store and talk to somebody.

Now, do *I* steal from HD?
No--mostly cuz I don't have the balls--or the mental energy.
Would I hire that guy stealing from HD, or even hang out with him?
No to the first, Yes to the second, iffin he were buyin.

But while you all are tryna send this slouch's sorry ass to jail, I'd kick
in $50-100 for his bail and lawyer.

**** Home Despot.... regardless of whether or not we indeed wind up paying
for this slouch's behavior later on; it's a matter of a much higher fukn
principle than this schmo's lack of integrity/honesty.

Did I already say **** Home Despot?

And, just so's you all know, Home Despot ****s their vendors as badly as
they **** us.
Shop around, occasionally. It is rare when you *cain't* match or beat HDs
**** prices, ceptin for their well-calculated come-ons.
As for their vendors, the Mafia has little over HD tactics.

And yeah, I go to HD. Why? Cuz they ****ed almost every local hardware
store out of bidniss--often deliberately.

Dixon, and mebbe a cupla others, know the deal. The rest of you should get
off yer high moral merry-go-round horses and brighten up a little.
Carry some marshmallows in yer cars.
And watch out: Bob Nardelli has a 36" dick, and a lifetime supply of
Viagra.
Ask Charlie Rose. gulp aaahhhhhh

Today I was in Home Depot, standing in line to pay for a couple rolls of
hardware cloth. In front of me was a gentleman, and I use that term
loosely, that had placed on the counter six one inch electrical PVC ells,
along with six couplings, each of which was attached to the ells. The
ells had their UPC stamped on them, but the connectors had a stick-on
label.
To a woman clerk, that may or may not be wise to how such things look and
are used, it was very easy for the items to be scanned by the label only,
considering the UPC on the ells blended well with the other data printed
thereon.

That's what happened. The buyer paid with a credit card, the total
coming
to under $3. It was obvious to me that he had placed the connectors on
the
ells intentionally, likely thinking they would get scanned just as they
did.
I did more than nothing, but I'm interested in hearing what others might
think would have been a good course of action to take. When I've heard
various opinions, I'll describe what I did, and why I did it.
