Default 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.

I live south of Boston and there are several Home Depots within a 15 mile
radius of my home. 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
