	Anyone used any of the tool line from Wal*mart's new house brand, Hart? I have a couple Hart 24 oz. framing hammers that I've had for years and are very nice. They were prior to the brand name being sold. The literature says, "Designed in US and manufactured overseas." It falls under the TTI umbrella, who also make Milwaukee, Ryobi, and Ridgid power tools. Just don't know if it's at the bottom tier or better quality. https://www.toolboxbuzz.com/cordless-tools/hart-tools-launches-new-line-of-tools-at-walmart/ https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/a29856890/walmart-hart-tools/

	I have been using Home Depot's ship-to-store for a few years to get things that no one stocks locally. Not sure how they make money selling me a $3.50 item and package and ship it UPS to the store for me. But they've always had a staffed register right inside the door (and special parking spots for sts). Even though I try to avoid it, Wal*mart has a similar program. I used to hate wasting time for someone to get my package. Last order, there was a giant machine in the front of the store. You enter your order number and a robot picks it up from inside the machine and brings it to the front, or for larger item, unlocks a locker just to one side. Had a trip to Lowe's today and saw some new signs on the entry door. Lo and behold, right inside the door was a staffed booth for online order pickup. The blue vest guy said if it's in the store, they'll pull it and have it sitting there in a little as 20-30 minutes. (about as long as it takes me to get there). If not, they'll ship it to you. Was in Kroger a couple of times recently. They have a huge area, maybe the size of three car garage, for order pick up (I think there's either a charge or a subscription for this.) On a recent trip, I ran across about three pickers going through the store with these orders. And a friend of my wife's does shop and deliver for Meijer (a MI-based grocery and department store) that will pull your order and drive it to your home for $5 or so. I put in an Amazon order yesterday and one of the options is an Amazon "locker" at the local Whole Foods (now a subsidiary) or several other public places. No wonder the malls are going out of business?
