Painting the workbench ( Home Depot Apologizes to Pencil Thief)
Ok, it's been fun, now back to serious woodworking. I need to know
what colour to paint my workbench ...No, I'm just kidding. I know everybody here paints theirs pink. What the... damn, and here I just finished mine in a precious taupe! It just goes SO well with my Makita drills. Darn. -jav |

Two of these stores station a security guard at the exit who checks your receipt and compares it to the contents in your bag. I went to one of these stores once. I went to the other store once. I find HD's 'are you stealing from me' attitude at these two stores to be extremely distasteful. OK, I missed the OP, and also generally avoid OT convesation, but this is a good one, and well ...it does have to do with wood, sort of... unless they now have high tech pencils. Anyhow, [and this is to do with this general topic, but not wood?] I won't shop at Consumers Distributing. They not only will inspect your baggage [shame on them increasing costs that way. Let people steal, I say!], they also make oyu pay for the privilege of shoppingthere, and even worse, won' recognise jus any old credit card. It AHS TO be American Express! The nerve of them. I won't shop there. OK, seriously, I avoid HD at all costs [pun intended.] I wanted a present for a large family of kids for a visit in the summer. Why buy a ton when you need only one? So I settled on a Milkshake maker with the works [ice-cream etc.] Cutting it short, after some dialogue with a 12 yr old clerk who knew as much about the store as my pet dog [I haven't any idea where we would have gone if I'd wanted woodworking tools] , we decided I'd take the demo that had been sitting out on display, being handled by God knows who or how many for the past month or so. I said I'd take it with a demo discount. "Oh, I'll have to ask the manager." Guess what? No discount. No sense complaining to the manager either, I guess. I left without, and haven't been back since. My money, my choice. Ok, it's been fun, now back to serious woodworking. I need to know what colour to paint my workbench ...No, I'm just kidding. I know everybody here paints theirs pink. |
