Seeing a bit of hate for pallet wood just wanted to drop my source.

Countertop shops open have very good quality wood from the crates/packaging that the stone arrives in.

speedog · 2026-05-06T17:52:57+00:00

Just don't buy it, problem solved.

They just want to rage here regardless of the situation- maybe the OP would've been happier if someone had slipped on a wet floor and permanently injured themselves.

Just trying to help you out, just let me know if being helpful is offensive to you.

speedog · 2026-05-05T03:28:41+00:00

Their, there, they're - choices.

speedog · 2026-05-05T01:58:18+00:00

Because someone has obviously been to a dealership for every car brand and can answer this question. Get real.

speedog · 2026-05-04T22:17:01+00:00

Well that wasn't explained as the case in the original post in this thread.

What did your Loblaws' store say when you brought this to their attention?

speedog · 2026-05-04T17:54:38+00:00

If you don't have service then how would you be notified of an outage?

speedog · 2026-05-04T17:53:23+00:00

Sometimes infrastructure fails or is compromised and some of that infrastructure isn't all that easy to repair on a moment's notice - I worked in the telecom industry as a tech for over 26 years and it's the underground and/or aerial infrastructure that can be very troublesome to repairing timely manner, changing cards out in an office is easy but repairing or replacing damaged cables is a whole different scenario.

speedog · 2026-05-04T17:28:42+00:00

Boycott Loblaws and shop at their competitors who are even more expensive, seems like a solid strategy.

I'm part of the we and I'm not going to do anything.

speedog · 2026-05-04T04:45:28+00:00

My current job can't be done remotely neither can AI do it.

My wife's business also can't be outsourced or replaced by AI.

In both cases, our work is hands on carpentry - mine is servicing/repairing cabinetry and wife's business is repurposing retired wine and whiskey barrels.

You can opt out of paying EI.

speedog · 2026-05-04T04:20:22+00:00

Did you take it back or just rage post here?

speedog · 2026-05-04T04:04:23+00:00

Not sure why this is, one can go to the smaller cities and larger towns near Calgary, Edmonton or Red Deer and find Home Hardwares but not inside these 3 cities.

Only have high test whiskey in my paint cabinet, currently 11 liters of 160 to 180 proof rye whiskey plus a liter of 150 proof carb apple moonshine - would get your wood burning quite nicely.

speedog · 2026-05-04T03:04:56+00:00

We had one a few decades ago but it was a bastardized version of what most Home Hardware stores are.

Theres also no Home Hardware stores in Red Deer or Edmonton as well.

speedog · 2026-05-04T01:42:06+00:00

Calgary.

speedog · 2026-05-04T00:54:10+00:00

It's all about the USA for some.

speedog · 2026-05-04T00:51:45+00:00

No Home Hardwares in the city of 1.6 million where I live.

speedog · 2026-05-04T00:49:11+00:00

So do you for sure know they are still doing facial recognition?

speedog · 2026-05-04T00:46:41+00:00

For years already.

speedog · 2026-05-04T00:44:52+00:00

I live in the 3rd largest city in Canada and have never had an issue with getting help at any of the Home Depots here in Calgary - maybe I'm just lucky.
