I stopped by Blackhawk Hardware recently and enjoyed the wide variety, but the sales help - who were very aggressively ""helpful"" - had a hard time directing me to the item I was looking for. Then when I got to the registers, two young women were standing together at one register chatting - about personal stuff, not work - one glanced up and, very dismissively said, ""over there"" pointing to the next register (which had a line). I can get that type of servivce at one of the big box stores with lower prices - no need to go back to Blackhawk unless there is something I can't find elsewhere.
Pros: Good selection of things you might have trouble finding
Cons: Cashiers with bad attitudes
