My old primary supply house was bought by a Dutch company. The new management decided that they didn't want small contractors. Mt pricing on some items was 2x what I could buy it for at a 'big box' store.

The frustrating part about the big boxes is the lack of selection, oh, I forgot the 'industry experts' that I wouldn't let wire a dog house. Also, no matter how much you spend there you pay the same price as someone that shops there once a month. Is this how they thank you for your business?
