    My dad used to make get the cart for him so I’d grab these, then we’d roll up to the checkout with a 5 gal bucket and a tape measure or some shit 😁

    The real power move is to grab one of those contractor buckets and use it as a shopping basket. Because how else are you going to keep all those loose nuts and bolts from going everywhere?

      Look at Mr. Money Bags buying the specialty loose nuts and bolts.

      They’re like $2.50/bolt these days. God dam

        It’s also ridiculous the markup on fasteners. I used to work in nuts and bolts and the going rate was like 90-97% markup on fasteners.

          To be fair, when you absolutely need that one or two special bolts to put your lawnmower back together, the markup isn’t a big deal.

          Otherwise, I’m buying stuff by the box, and starting to prefer metric more and more.

    I do the revserse and try to put a dozen 2x4s and a couple small sheets of wood into a regular cart causing it to be difficult to maneuver through the aisles.

    Home Despot - a place for wannabe interior decorators. Like Ron Swanson said to an employee at HD “I know more than you.”

    People with manly man projects go to real lumber yards where you lean on a counter and talk to a clerk and a yardman pulls and brings you your materials with a forklift and loads them on your trailer - because strapping your load down to a trailer and driving away is a manly man thing to do…No little carts needed.

      I feel this way about Lowes vs home depot. Home depot for the real projects, Lowes to buy the designer hammer that never gets used…

    The last time I used one of these was buying drywall because it only comes in two sizes with no in-between, too damn big and patch kits that are good for nothing.

    Fuck dads. Subjecting new lives to this world is stupid and selfish at best and scales down to evil.
