Message: <blockquote data-quote="NomDeBoom" data-source="post: 4280602" data-attributes="member: 50898">I was at my extremely local Atwood's, and had a nice talk with a very conscientious gentleman who was sitting on the floor diligently sorting out all the mixed up plumbing fittings that people had tossed back into the wrong bins. I remarked that it looked worse than the toy aisle at Walmart on Christmas. The man wasn't a "vendor", just a regular employee doing a good service and a good job.I was in the store again about a week ago, buying some small bolts and didn't know about the unpriced color coded hardware, and the clerk didn't know either, because the label gave only an approximate weight. The checkout ladie had to call in a young kid who informed us that all the red, blues, green, etc .. colored pieces are sold by weight. I got a small bag of mixed bolts for only .55 cents. Before I left, I went back to teach the original guy who helped me find them what we all just learned. I may be the only old man that didn't know about color coded hardware by now- but if anyone else didn't know, ya do now.The moral(s) of this story are that we are never too young or old to learn the basics, and that: if you want blue nuts, cheap, go to Atwood's.P S- as an extra learning bonus, I just figured out (while typing this) that it's not necessary to use the spacebar between every damn word on this teeny device!I really need to get a larger, more useful computer, as my last one OD'd on the Latest Technology.....or whatever.</blockquote>
