   Oh man, there's a lot to be said for real service, particularly in a 
hardware store. It's also nice to get the stuff you need rather than 
what the big box store makes the most profit on. And they tend to sell 
better products. Buy paint at Home Despot and you'll get a choice of

lucky as to have one, patronize it.
