Recent reciept from Northern Tools--we needed a new wheel for the handtruck. Makes me wonder how they got screwed during some previous crisis to have to enact a specific policy re: pumps and saws and gens.
During the buildup to a natural disaster, folks buy crap like that. Then if it turns out that they didn't need it after all, they return it. Wasted labor in the returns aisle is bad enough, but the resulting flip-flop in corporate cash flow can be great enough to show up in the stock exchange. Weenies! If I bought a chain saw, I wouldn't let go of it.
