So, I needed a garden hose reel, went to Home Despot, and bought a "Suncast Hosemobile". Took it home, hooked it up, and the side attachment piece promptly popped off, spraying water everywhere. Hmmm. Look, reattach, retry, same thing. F'k.
O.k., that model is a piece of junk. Back to the store. Lady behind the return counter says that most of them get returned. I go look at what other brands Home Depot carries, and they are all Suncast- with that same crap fitting.

On to Lowes. Hmm, wait a minute here. They carry Suncast brand, and only Suncast brand.

Oh boy. Well, today we drive about 80miles (round trip) to Menards.
Suncast brand, and only Suncast brand in stock.

Let's try Meijers. Guess what? That's right.

K-Mart? Ohhhh, now I'mma gettin' really pissed now! WTF!!!
Probably $40-50 in gas wasted, and the choice I have in this modern capitalist global economy is ______?
