Home Cheapo and the other blister-card stores have put a lot of mom and pop hardware stores out of business. In doing so, they have eliminated a valuable source of expertise to the do-it-yourselfer.
I'd rather walk on the friendly wood floors of the hardware store in Atlantic Highlands, NJ where we get supplies for my lady's rental condo than to get lost in a sea of indifference in HD. The real hardware store employee knew exactly which fire extinguisher was up to city code for use in a rental, the people in HD had no idea about something a few towns away!
