How to replace Walamrt

Customer service is what keeps me OUT of most mom and pop type of stores. When I go to the hardware store, I don't want to have to try to explain what I'm trying to build, fix, or do. I want to be left the bleeeeeep alone! Usually I am still designing my project in my head and I am there to check to see whats available or to get ideas. The biggest offenders around here seem to be Ace Hwd, RadioShack, and lately the Advance auto. The "can I help you" seems now to be taught as a way to upsell only.

RadioShack seems to have the biggest retards, I let one try to "help" me, asked for a tube of "heat sink grease" pretty simple. I had nothing better to do that day so I let her wander all around the store looking for it, check the computer, ask the other employee on duty, and spend about 25 minutes before telling me that they must be out of it. I said really, and walked over right to where there were 6 packages on the shelf. Next time I came in she left me alone.

I'm a big boy, I can ASK for help if I need it, and if I don't ask I don't bleeeeeeeping need your help or want it. Pester me and my money will get spent elsewhere.
