Say what !

.....so I'm trying to get the front of the 360 back together, was attaching the lower crank pulley, can't find the 6 bolts, no problem, I'll go and get some new hardware and get this done without wasting time looking for the old stuff, so I go in the store, yep need 6, 5/16 18 bolts and some lock washers, up at checkout, "so,what do I owe Ya?" dude say's "$12.37", WHAT !, uh just put them back then, next stop is Tractor supply, get the stuff, go to check out, .88 cents. what the hell?

I guess for $.88 even I could afford to toss them for an upgrade!, I don't know what they're paying the employee's at the first store, but $12.37 rolled of his tongue as easy Jack Daniel into a shot glass.

I always get my hardware from Tractor Supply for that very reason.
Yesterday I bought 4 grade 8 bolts and two nuts and it was $1.88
That same stuff at Ace would have been double digits I'm sure.
If I want specialty stuff like chrome Allen bolts, then the only local choice is Ace.
