Wanted to shop a small town business. Walked around the store for 10 minutes. At least five employees standing around, none offered help. Stood at service counter waiting for help. Finally found out they didn't carry Liberty rolled roofing and didn't know of anybody that carried them. We went across the street, to Home Depot. Greeted us as we walked in, and lead us to over 60 rolls of what we needed. Ended up spending over $1700.00 at Home Depot
