Friendly reminder that Home Hardware is also a Canadian owned hardware & building supply chain. Not as prevalent as the American Home Depot, Rona/Lowes choices, but they take care of their employees, and your money doesn't go into some MAGA Republican's coffers.

Shopping at home hardware is such a weird experience. You can ask questions and the people working there actually know the answers to the questions and can point you in the right direction.

It’s weird to interact with someone that isn’t a fucking troglodyte that knows nothing about the products they’re selling.

I agree wholeheartedly. I walked into a home hardware trying to get a replacement for a botd I'd stripped. The guy took one look at it and said "looks like an M5" and it was! Got me a new one and I was on my way. This was after I had just gone to Canadian Tire for the same thing. The "hardware guy" there was pretty much trying to find a match exclusively by vibe and colour matching
