Ain't competition grand... before the big box stores mom n' pops
ripped people off left right and center and offered zero service. I
see it all the time, the small local stores have greatly lowered their
prices and are far more customer friendly, service has greatly
improved. I notice a big difference in the local plant nurseries,
they had to change their attitudes or close up, they were ripping
people off big time on tools, chems, and all kinds of gardening
products, and their plants were way over priced.
