Ace Hardware is where you find frustrated tenants who decided it would just be easier to fix the sink themselves rather than deal with the landlord

You can also find there lost asexuals that ware looking for a garlic bread bakery.

When I was renting that was me lol. Tbf, the reason I didn't want to deal with the landlord is because I didn't pay the pet fee...nor the "smoke jazz tobbaccy in the apartment" fee...

"Look it'll be easier for me to just do it than to hide the cats and bongs ok?"

Yeah, that's pretty close to the reason for my last trip to Ace. Fucking slumlord. D:

I had sparks flying out of my fixtures in one room from old water damage. After 2 days I just replaced them myself with $3 gfi switches and plugs and put an Arc fault breaker in.

When I moved out I took the outlets and breaker with me. I didn't need them, but fuck those guys.

I installed a ceiling fan in my apartment when I first moved in, and you bet your ass I'm uninstalling it and taking it with me when I move out. It's a nice ceiling fan.

Didn't the owner or CEO of lowes say some really homophobic shit a few years ago? I feel like they got the demos swapped. On the other hand, I like Lowes Lesbian as a term a lot more than butch.

The founder of Home Depot was definitely involved in some garbage. If the Lowe’s CEO was, I missed it.

Home Depot has been funding to abolish gay marriage, and even the controversial therapy bullshit.

The owner of Menards got caught dumping toxic waste in his own neighborhood to avoid paying for proper disposal.

John Menard is a dick. He actively prevents employees from using their discount and is generally a piece of shit.

Engineers, farmers, or anyone else predisposed to do things themselves but not as theit main professional capacity.

The poor.

Seriously though, their prices aren't as good as they used to be. They're now mid-range Chinese products instead of absolute trash.

Yep, my dad buys Christmas presents for his four grandsons there.

Back when it was just Tru-value, they had cohabitation ranges as well.

You have chosen poorly.

Source, I worked at Menards for way longer than I should have. Enjoy that 28% mark up on sub standard goods.
