    There’s always a retired plumber or two working in the plumbing section. Maybe not other sections, but definitely plumbing. Good luck out there, DIYers!

      Yea, plumbing was a poor choice for title, hah. Every home store in places I’ve lived always seems to have a knowledgeable person.

      The city I live in has two big box stores. One has a retired plumber in the plumbing section. I’ll drive further to go to that one and wait patiently for his advice.

      Not at the one I worked at. I claimed to be whatever the person asked me about though because entitled customers who can’t do basic research deserve wrong answers pulled from my ass.

        Yes everyone should know everything at all times, and whoever doesn’t is entitled for asking questions.
