That's kinda what one might expect but this was the next day after a dreadfully opposite experience at the competition on Cortez so I'm EXUBERANTLY RECOMMENDING this Benjamin Moore store.

If you have a return or problem with an order they treat you like you are trying to scam them. I found a particular manager to be arrogant, demeaning, and physical threading as he got in my face. I will never return to this particular location.

Thrift stores are always a fun time if you've got some extra time on your side. But its difficult…read moreto find a plush stuffed alligator to buy, it's all i really want and im wondering "if not here in the Southwest Coast of Florida, then where"? I like the kind with the dark emerald green top layer and the lighter lime green underbelly, mouth agape and available to chomp chomp chomp open and closed which i like to do and they've got to be showing the shiny triangular oversized chicklet teeth. I'm listening to a round lady with salmon snatching white egrets feet telling another round salmon snatcher about her "secrets of thrifting" and its drawing me in a bit. She's always on the hunt for her five secret items, even when the garage is full and hubby reprimands her, shes got a plan to sell, box, label and ship. I think im in here for quilted sheets or tablecloths, whatever is more large breed resistant to rips and tears and there are some beauties here, perfectly folded like I'm shopping at Macy's. An arm full of them and im off to see the cow in the wildflower bonnet painting. Thrift stores always seem to have at least one cow painting but they're never in a field grazing with others, they're always doing or wearing something non farming, like wearing a Santa Claus hat in their living room while reading the newspaper. This store is filled with beds, bedding, rugs, furniture and less tots, books, tools, mugs and cups - unless its a glass item which is a boundless section all to itself. On this day i left with some sockets and a sleeping bag, I can never have enough sleeping bags. Most items are in brand new condition and you can shop here for a gift for someone you don't want to spend too much on but has a coffee machine or cutting board that are way to small and they font realized it. And im back to the cows and cow art because I've spent time with real live ones recently and they're certainly very underrated large four legged beautiful animals. But one got pissed at me one day and just brushed up upon me. Oh my, the power and size had me reconsidering trying to give her a kiss.

It is very hard not to like this store. In fact, I don't see a reason to not love it. While I wouldn't buy these tools if I made my living with them i.e.,(mechanic, carpenter) as they are lower-grade, but they are terrific for homeowners! The skinny: The store in Bradenton is always busy and has an excellent assortment of tools and hardware related items. The deals are awesome on the stuff so it is worth driving to the 'hood to check it out.

The plan was to use it with natural gas with propane backup. Tried to deal with tech support but it turns out there are NO replacement parts available at all!! Took it for service figuring better to spend a few bucks than not to gave a generator. They called today and said it was not repairable due to lack of replacement parts!! Now I have a $1300 piece of junk. No support or help from Harbor Freight. Be VERY careful shopping here for anything more complex than a hammer!

We got AMAZINGLY GOOD PRICING at this store. We went there first for a quote on a full set of…read morekitchen appliances (dishwasher, over-the-range microwave, stove, refrigerator - all the same brand). We then went to HH Gregg which is new in town and supposedly giving excellent pricing. They were $1,500 over the price we got at Lowe's WITHOUT the extended warrantees, installation or a plug for the stove. They also did not have the model refrigerator or microwave we wanted. They had a more expensive fridge and a low end micro (the only frige and micro they had in that famous brand). Lowe's has a selection of several models in the same brand name. They have lots of other brands and items to choose from, too. This sounds like an ad, LOL. We were also impressed with the Lowe's salesperson's knowledge (Zach). We went back and made sure he got our sale. We know where to shop now, thank you Lowe's. Our only problem was their checkout person did not know how to properly ring up our sale. She could not get the entire order to appear on her register screen and started to give us a hard time about it as if we were mistaken (or lying or crazy, sheesh!). Our salesperson had to come to the front of the store and press a single key on her register in order for it to show our entire order. Nobody's perfect, but be aware of the potential for that because your order is established in the specific department, then you go to the front of the store to have the sale rung up - assert yourself if necessary so you get assurance of what you're buying.
