You helped put them out of business by shopping mostly at the big box stores and only visiting the smaller independents occasionally to ask for free advice on products you bought at the box stores and to complain about the prices being higher at the smaller stores.
Too right. I hate going to Costco. I know exactly where the coffee is, go straight for it and get out. I hate those sample tables, people look like dogs waiting for a treat.
We recently lost our hardware store. You could take in a small bolt and they could find a nut, two flat washers, and a lock washer to fit, and charge you a dime for the whole assembly.

Being 86’ed most likely originated from: Article 86 of the New York liquor code which gives the reasons a person may be removed from a bar.
