This all so true, but I've been carefull with the sheckels since retiring 
19 years ago, so I don't normally think about it that way. Not to 
mention the nearest HD is 25 miles up the interstate from here. Toss in 
that they fire on the spot, any employee trying to collar a shoplifter. 
That to me puts them several lines down the list of places where I shop.
