Why ... what makes them suck?

They have reasonable prices.

I don't think they have "experts" that work there but not everyone needs
an expert to buy what they need for a home renovation.

The selection they have is limited ... but that's why their cheap ...
they don't have to stock a larger selection so they can have larger
volumes on the stuff they do stock.

They have a reasonable return policy .. almost anything
you don't use can be brought back.

Since there are so many of them ... there is usually one
in the neighborhood ... so they are convenient.

Why is it that you think they suck?

I said "large hardware store" or something like that. Not
everyone
lives near a Home Depot!



Well last I checked they had them in McLendon's as well, it's a small
(though admittedly very well stocked) local hardware store. Can't say
I've
ever really looked for the things, just seen them around.


Go to an electrical supply. They will have more selection than Home
Depot
does. I don't know why the obsession with Home Depot.



Obsession? Well I'm not sure it's an obsession, but I do like them.
They're
everywhere (including less than 5 miles from both my house and my work),
have a decent selection, good prices, and they're a one stop shop for
home
improvement. I'm not sure where the nearest electrical supply shop is,
would
probably have to drive all the way to Seattle.


Home Depot suxs bigtime.
