As far as I'm concerned, Good riddance to Poor customer relations. The one time I went into the store local to me they acted like since I wasn't one of there 100K/Yr customers, they couldn't be bothered with small time walk-in customers. 
  Anything they would have, I can get from McMaster Carr or MSC and it will be at my door the next day and I don't have to deal with snotty A$$ wipes that need to learn their manners.  
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

I have a great local store, the lady at the front counter knows her stuff.

If I need some odd screw/bolt for a pop machine or pinball machine I am working on they probably have it. Price is much, much cheaper than the local ACE hardware store for individual pieces along with a better selection. 

Prices for other items? Yeah, probably worth the money in gas to drive to the other side of town to Menards.

Son has shipped a few things through them for his skid loader attachments 
MYSELF - when they said they had heilacoils I needed , then checked and said they could have them in 2 days - Charged me $14 shipping for sending them by post - flat pack - would have said KEEP THEM but I had to prepay for the parts in store before they would commit to getting them in . 
 Last time i went near the place - kind of 1 finger salute when I drive by
