Retail sucks...

...but you already knew that.

Where Jeff Harrell's descent into Retail Hell involves CompUSA, mine involves The Home Depot. And by "mine," I mean largely "my wife's," who, despite having ten thousand times more patience and understanding than I, cracked a bit last week after a series of soul-crushing, head-against-the-wall difficulties with celebrated fence climber Tony Stewart's biggest sponsor. Everything's fine now, but the old adage of You Get What You Payed For holds true yet again.

And, no, that adage is not cynical or flippant.
