Ace Hardware Customer Service

I like Ace hardware! What I dislike is the friggin nose-pickers they hire on as "sales associates" at Home Depot, Lowe's isn't any different.
I went to the local Home Depot for a hand held flood light. no big deal, its a big store with alot of stuff. I was told by an "associate" that they were out of stock. So once again I left the store empty handed, but wait!! Theres a great big display full of hand held flood lights... right next to the checkout stand!!!
freakin dufus!
