So this Morning, I called around to different hardware stores to find a replacement Bulb for My…read morestinger bug Zapper. The last place I called was Home Supply, on Main Street in Belfast, trying to keep my money local and help local business. I was told to bring my bulb in as they had a few to choose from. So after My errands at the Greenhouse, we went to Home Supply, to see what they had on hand. Upon approaching a guy that works there who was still in his pajamas, he proceeded to inform us he only had 2 bulbs to choose from and that we should just buy a whole new bug zapper as we would never get a replacement bulb, as no one makes them. I told him this was our 4th replacement bulb and that we can always find one as we have for years, he then got snotty and said, " Then go somewhere else and buy from someone else then". I said, "Really? I come in here to shop locally and you treat me like crap because I won't buy a whole new bug zapper from you? I will not be back"!!, He then shouted at me and said, " That's fine by me"!. I have been a patron there for years, but NEVER again!!! I have NO reason to go out of my way to spend my money in a place that treats me like Garbage. I will go to Home depot where they have it in stock for 17.00.
