I normally try to go to Ace over Lowe's or Home Depot, it's closer and local which is good and although their selection is smaller and normally costs more I'm ok with that because the service normally makes up for it. Well...I get there at 5:01 pm today just needing to run in and out but didn't realize they close at 5:00 pm on Sundays. Apparently this is the absolute cut off for entering the store because even though they were still dragging the pallets in from outside and checking out customers inside I was greeted at the door by an older gentleman with both hands up blocking me from going inside because they closed at 5:00 pm. He didn't even ask what I was there for or how long I might need to get it because it clearly didn't matter. Seems pretty comical that I was willing to pay more to shop in their store but I guess it had better be during posted hours. The smaller local type stores often complain about the big box stores taking away their business but I am willing to bet that had I showed up at Lowe's or Home Depot a minute after their posted closing time they wouldn't have turned me away. Pretty disappointed that this is how a local store chooses to operate!
