Yeah, I've had some maddening experiences at the Lowes in North Bergen.
Unfortunately, fucked up though they mosty certainly are, Lowes is worlds better than dealing with that orange snake-pit of worm-brained fools called Home Depot.
Let's face it, since those bastards rolled up all the local chain hardware stores (rickles, channel, etc.) leaving only Ace and a couple smaller mom and pop places, the arcane knowledgebase of tools and their uses has declined considerably.
I hear people asking questions at HD sometimes and I have all I can do not to turn on the orange-garbed baboon and smash its head with a crowbar. The vast majority of them are stupid beyond belief. Some of them are barely competent to remember to breath regularly. I'm certain that many fiction writers are inspired by the orange driods to regale us with their own versions the semi-dead, the undead, and the zone-implanted, zombie-like creatures who can exist with basic motive force, yet be completely without higher brain function.
The only decent thing I've seen out of Home Depot in the last few years is the playboy set, girls of home depot.
