Certainly nobody should need to be rude about it but ... some stores do have arrangements with their shippers/suppliers/etc. regarding the pallets. I know that Home Depot is very strict about certain ones because of the wholesalers that ships with them but other pallets they don't care about.I found the mother load at Lowe's today!a TON of 4ft X4ft pieces of plywood that they let me have. Plus a few pallets... Why are so many places stingy with their pallets. Walmart are a bunch of jerks about it..
