Good place if you like to pay more. If Walmart don't carry it, Home

If Walmart carries it, it's the cheapest Chinese crap there is. If
Home Depot carries it, you can't find it or get anyone to help you
find it. Ergo: Ace.
A lot of Chinese crap is much better than American crap. And Americans
make plenty of crap lately.
And a lot of the stuff with famous US brand names is now China-made crap
too -- but double or more the price at local stores (maybe including
Ace) compared to Lowe's and HD.

That's why I chuckle everytime these threads come around bashing Walmart
, Homedepot and Lowes ...But they get that warm fuzzy feeling like they
are doing something important by throwing money away in small so called
mom&pops , so to them I guess it's worth it..LOL...
It ain't "throwing money away" if I leave feeling friendly rather than
homicidal and I actually got what I came for.

I live in a small town of about 20,000. They only hire the prettiest girls
from 18-24. The asst. manager looks like an ex beauty queen, big hair, boob
job, and all. More like a dancer. But I digress.

A trip to Ace goes something like this for this sixty year old. I go in. I
immediately look to see where Dave and Bob are so that can avoid them and
get waited on by one of the bouncy bubbly (but very knowledgeable) young
ladies. WE usually have to search a while, all the time, I'm teaching them
about what it is I'm looking for, mainly so next time they will know, and
can help others in the future. I Well, not mainly, but I digress. I
always ask to see things on lower shelves and where they have to bend over.
The whole trip could be done faster if I'd just go get what I want, or get
Dave or Bob, as they know every little hiding place there. But when I
leave, I definitely leave with a better attitude, my parts, and a little ego
massage. The girls now even call me by name.

I have no idea where they find so many really cute chicks in that small town
and why they don't have many males in the same job. My best trips are when
big hair waits on me. She's at least six feet tall, and thirtyish. Hubba
hubba. She's hot!
