They're never open at convenient times (one at Colony Plaza is only open a few days a week and then from 11-3), they never pay any attention to the fact that I'm there and the parking is atrocious. So I end up going to big chains or ordering online. <BR/><BR/>I felt bad at first but my thought now is that if you want me to support the local economy, the local econmy has to want my business.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127448645515191294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13488485.post-1138280021633479732006-01-26T07:53:00.000-05:002006-01-26T07:53:00.000-05:00It happens everywhere - the guy who owns the Leesb...It happens everywhere - the guy who owns the Leesburg, PA antique store where I bought my wife's Victrola told me he has a constant problem with people coming in and stealing hinge pins, drawer pulls, anything small that their own pieces might be missing.Dittmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759621744813019807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13488485.post-1138214788811763832006-01-25T13:46:00.000-05:002006-01-25T13:46:00.000-05:00i got burned at home depot with some light fixture...i got burned at home depot with some light fixtures i bought for my bathroom remodel. the boxes looked just fine, but when i opened it up, half the product was missing (the screws and wire caps). i shook the box and found one screw bouncing around. they gave me odd looks when i asked for a replacement.ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661036867652409890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13488485.post-1138206214777252952006-01-25T11:23:00.000-05:002006-01-25T11:23:00.000-05:00I was totally clueless that people did that!

It is amazing what people do to get something for nothing.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219411766029030985noreply@blogger.com
