The other day I saw an employee pulling all the rolls of Screen from the shelves. I figured it hit a penny in my store & the head store mgr has everyone believing they absolutely cannot sell it at a penny. So I grabbed one & went through SCO. Got thru paying one cent on my credit card no less. Got to my truck & thought, hum, I could redo some rentals I have.....
So back I went loaded up my cart & proceeded to get caught by the employee previously pulling the screen. I thought I'd play dumb this time & as luck would have it, a new asst mgr was called & kindly gave me for "free" the 30 rolls in my cart. I also gathered they would rather give it away than have it rung up as the mgr went on to talk about giving the rest away to a not for profit charity in town.
Late that day at the next closest HD (150 miles away) I found a couple Corona pruners which weren't even in the system anymore. Knowing I may get stopped I asked a mgr if I could just have these 2 pruners since they aren't in the system. He said yes, & that they had s basket of them a few weeks ago tagged as FREE. So I walked out with 4 for free!
Also scored 2 of the Nutone exhaust fans. Almost covered my gas!!
