Yesterday we were building a cabinet, needed pocket screws. I asked two workers in the screw isle neither had a clue. I explained what they did still no clue. I then said there made by kreig. He said oh the kreig stuff is over there and took me there. Have these people who all work in hardware type stores never watched home improvement shows?

I blame the decline in retail on the awful wages they pay and the fact that they dont want to pay benifits so no one is hired for more than part time.

I too am shopping on line I can do it at 2 am in my underware, find it faster and they bring it to my door

Rant and hyjack over

Pay a hardware employee all you want, it's not going to orient them any better to where the Kreig pocket stuff is. They know hardware or they don't. Earn your pay, then you get more money. $15.oo per hour isn't going to make the hamburger taste any better or get there faster.
P.S...Please don't shop in your underware ):
