What a shame - And I didn't mind shopping Target

Support your local Mom & Pop shops. A bit more expensive but the
service is excellent and they usually have everything you need

^^^ Agree; when you can find them.

The bog box stores (Lowes, Home Depot, WalMart, Target, Sams Club, Costco, etc.) have all but put the Mom-&-Pop stores out of existence.

I know, its too bad. Maybe Lowes will fail, gov't will take them over
and its free hardware for everyone!

I tried to shop at SmartCo, but they're done for already. Not that they were "mom n' pop".
