My "baby" brother is in residential construction. He trades with the plumbing supply house, the lumber yard, the millwork supply, the electrical supply, etc... He doesn't go into Home Depot, naturally.

When I complain to him about some misadventure or other in Home Depot he always says the same thing: "Home Depot is for assholes. If you go in there, you're another asshole and you should expect to be treated like an asshole. When are you going to learn?"

I know he's right, but it's so convenient...(said with a whine).
