If Disneyland is the happiest place on earth, this particular store has the feeling of death warmed over.

He barely cracked the box open and I asked if we bought it, looked at it and if it wasn't what we're looking for, could we bring it right back and return. His response was, what am I supposed to do with it if you brought it back? He then said it can't be returned. It's a $450 tree! We went to 4S Commons Ace location not far from there and had a GREAT experience with friendly staff who had bothered to put trees on display for their customers. She told us all Ace locations are supposed to accept tree returns until 12/15. Some folks are kind to kind people and others are unkind just because they can be. Don't waste your time and frustrations on this location.

Dear ACE Hardware: please leave your mysogeny at home. Me: XX DEGREE IN ENGINEERING, DEGREE IN…read moreMEDICINE, Boards in NUCLEAR MEDICINE. I needed ONE WASHER OF OD EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN THE OD, BUT LARGER THAN THE ID OF THE ALUMINUM TUBE I carried in. OD (washer) (less than or equal to) OD(tube) AND OD (washer) (greater than) ID(tube) ID (center hole of washer) (less than) OD (knot in "tent tube elastic"!!! Note: YELP does not allow algebraic symbols to be used in their reviews. Probably because their software team failed algebra. This is a standard construction "tent tube" system re-used for a display system, whereby the aluminum tubing supports a retractable display. There is a center elastic band similar to those used in tent systems. The washer will prevent the elastic band from retracting. The tube sits in a plastic receiver. English system washer sizes (which I already tried) are too large an OD. I found a metric size which worked perfectly. 99 cents. You decided to mansplain to me that my approach was all wrong. Why? Because I'm a 65 year old female wearing a pink blouse? Let me solve my own engineering problems please. Don't stand there and insist I explain myself to you because you are XY and clearly cannot grasp the solution I've already configured. I just need your hardware. I have no use for your lack of brains.
