I started to respond to this in what I thought was a fair & balanced opinion ...... there is a place for both to co-exist. Where the "local" store has typically more knowledgeable staff, their corporate income goes right back into the community, you do not need to buy 100 screws, nuts or bolts when you only need 2 ....and let me go back to you can find someone in the aisle who actually knows what their talking about...... and so on and so on. Yet the Big Box store, due to it's breath of offerings and (as you say) extended hours of operation among other factors, inevitably bankrupts the smaller local.

But I decided instead that the Forum will take care of more suitable responses to Billy Bob

Billy Bob -- understand that the Lowes in Gilford is NOT staffed & run as others around the country and their wages and mandatory control of hours worked -- actually held back in many cases--- are not much more stellar than what you purport to be against the Big Bad Walmart (trust me on that one)

This should be interesting
