god I loved working at [REDACTED BIG BOX HARDWARE STORE] as a miserable bastard. Watching the light dim in a family of four's eyes on a Saturday night as you tell them exactly how far on backorder that microwave is. Nothing like it
pretty sure being able to do math is a disqualifier at lowe’s
(true story: last time i asked for a sheet of plywood to be quartered, did some more shopping, came back and they had cut it into four… four 1 foot wide by 8 foot long boards)
