The Economy

Depending on where you are, that's no practical.
At one place, I mow 3 acres each week. It takes me hours on a 22 hp riding mower going like a bat out of hell.
At another, it takes my wife 15 mins with an electric push mower while I drink beer in may hammock.

 

My fun Lowe's fact when buying a dishwasher in January:

Went to the store in a car to get the free delivery. They ask if I want to take it home with me I say no, I don't have a truck. Then proceed to tell me that after I buy it, as long as it's in the back, they can sell it to someone who comes in and takes it with you. I was like, so you take payment off my credit card and it doesn't get held and I'd have to wait for the next available one after that? What kind of business model is that?

And don't get me started on the fact that their outside contractors were so clueless it took an extra two weeks to finally get in installed by a local plumber. At least Lowe's refunded that portion as the lone bright spot of the experience.

 

You can’t find many lawyers not powered by hot air and some type of alcohol.

 

I bought a returned washer there a couple of years ago. (I'm going to make up numbers here because I don't remember exactly). It was a $500 washer someone returned because it was leaking. They had a sign that said it as refurbished and was guaranteed for about $200. I asked the guy if they guaranteed it. He said yeah, and offered it to me for $120 if I took it then. I said, "Can someone help me get it into my truck? I'll get it in the house."
Still works like a champ.

Then your attorney, unlike your horrible dishwasher, still works when called on?

 

I probably misread your initial post. It sounded like an sarcastic analogy. And kind of sort of still does, but in the event I’m wrong, sincere apologies. I know your loss.

 

Can I just back out of a very quick, passing bad joke made when a letter was missing?

 

I've heard so many Lowe's stories from former workers there that it's not even funny.

I bought a new hot water heater there a couple of weeks ago (the subject of an old thread I bumped) and had no problems, but I did haul it home myself.
