Confusion at Ace Hardware today

[joeintexas]

There was a bit of confusion at Ace Hardware this morning.
When I was ready to pay for my purchases of gun powder and
bullets the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."



Making a mental note to complain to Fox News about the gun
registry people running amok, I did just as she had instructed.



When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided,
I found out that she was referring to my credit card.



I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.



They need to make their instructions to us seniors a little clearer.

Glad you did not get charged for assault with a dead weapon!

Glad you did not get charged for assault with a dead weapon!

Maybe brandishing a friendly weapon...

Clerk didn't realize she'd ordered a short arm inspection eh?

 

[Intheshop]

Haha...good one.

I hope they rebuild our Ace Hardware. A tornado blew it off the slab last month.

 

[Roadtrash]

Maybe she didn't notice the weapon.

I was at Wally World & I saw a sign that said "Wet Floor". I've been told never to return.

Another Portugue in Texas.

The other day a waitress asked me "You wanna box for your leftovers?"

I said "No thanks, but I'll wrestle you for a cup of coffee."

It's very tempting to make a gratuitous "snubbie" reference, but that wouldn't be sporting.

Again

I've complained before but our ACEs don't carry gun stuff.

WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Ace doesn't sell guns, ammo or reloading supplies.

Mine keeps a smattering of shotgun and hunting cartridges. .22's when the hoarders are not on the stampede....

 

[rwsmith]

Not the Aces in my area

Ace doesn't sell guns, ammo or reloading supplies.

But a bunch of people on here do get guns and supplies from Ace. I guess I'm going to have to move.

When I go to the ACE Hardware here I have to call ahead and see who in working the cash register. There is a no contact order due to those same instruction to me. This stores sells guns and ammo.

A few years ago I was in an Ace Hardware, Looking for a 100ft Extension cord. An elderly gentleman asked if he could help.
Told him I was looking for a drop cord, He asked " How long do you want it", I told him I was planning on keeping it...
He shooked his head and walked away...
I musta said something wrong

Sounds more like a "hold" up instead of a "stick" up.

Every time the young lady behind the counter says, "Swipe card?", I tell her "No, I got it honestly."

Either she's not very bright or that's just not funny.
