This is really not fair!

You know tsc has online shopping now. Go to www.mytscstore.com

Online is not nearly as much fun and touching and feeling and walking through the store.

yeah...maybe they would consider building one in your area

Tractor Supply doesnt build, actually they go into un used buildings, there for keeping prices lower with no construction overhead.
its a neat concept and it doesnt impact the environment, basically its recycling at its best.

Actually, the TSC here is a brand new building, built from ground up earlier this year. I went there for heat lamps.

For feed, I still go to the Mom & Pop feed store. They are tiny bit more expensive- but when you walk in the door there are 2 guys who say what do you need and they load it while you pay. And Pop answers questions, has raised livestock for many years.

At the TSC, you might get a hello when you walk in the door, from a cashier. Then you have to wander all over to find someone to help load, sometimes it takes 20 minutes or more. They want your phone number, and sometimes the loader disappears off again, so you wait even longer. And if you have questions? Forget it. They try to sell you a book.

So I will stay with the small, locally owned store, and only go to TSC if I can't get it anywhere else. Same reason I only go to WalMart when desperate. They are killing small businesses.

See Carri? It wasn't ALL sarcasm!

Yesterday, I looked on Google Maps and found a close TSC.
Unfortunately, I went to a place that didn't exist. It was in the middle of a suburb and there was no 1104!!! Only 1103 and 1105!! Argh! I called them and they said they were located on the other side of the state.
Wasted so much time..

TSC is very evil...i would compare them to Silkies! I went for 2 bags of feed yesterday....

Ended up with:

2 Med Waterers-on sale

2 new feeders-on sale

Another Incubator-now makes 3 and a hatcher

4 bags of feed

new brooder lights-just in case

Wild bird food-on sale

........................................................my $30 trip cost me around............................................................................

Same here. I refuse to go into ours as well
Btw- ours was built from the ground up. Maybe that's why they're twice as much as the local feed store? Either way the service at the ones around here sucks.
