Tractor Supply - how does it work?? (rant)

Probably why credit card debt is out of control in this country as well. Hopscotching from one card to another still leaves you with the debt to pay and the credit card companies raking in the finance charges.

I like the high credit score I have. My credit score hovers around 820 all the time.

So is mine... And I just scored $1200 dollars worth of Makita 18volt tools for free because of my cash back on my Amazon card.

We have been buying pet supplies and food from Amazon for years.

I buy Lance crackers on Amazon, by the box... Always nice to have a little treat blowing down the road in my truck.

So......I use 3 different cards, and I have paid them each off monthly for years,.....and that is somehow NOT a good thing?
I LOVE my cards!
They make me $1.200+ FREE cash each year!
My credit card debt IS "out of control"?
Yah think?
For me, there has NEVER been any credit card debt "out" anywhere, to "control".

My credit score "hovers around 820 all the time" also!
I LOVE FREE MONEY !!!!

:thumbsup:

Love my wife and my son and that is about it. I don't love a credit card, I USE a credit card. Nothing more.

You obviously did not understand the colloquial intent!
Please change the word "love", to appreciate, or enjoy, and you will likely understand the intent.

I love a credit card as long as it's not mine and I have unlimited authorization.

Yo .u will do better at your local farmers co-op called WILCO. We have one up here and they run circles around the two TSC stores in the area. Bulk bolts are 30% cheaper and larger selection. Way over priced on everything. WILCO also gives a 10% military discount which TSC refuses to match. Big deal for me.

That't where I go but it's about 20 miles from me . . , I usually just go to a 3 generation farm store that is about miles from us for our dog food and feed ect.

TSC seems to be going the way of Radio Shack as far as brick and mortar stores.
If im trying to make a one stop shop for a variety of items I will hit Murdoch's or Bomgars, other wise I'll go to a product specific store, shop, etc.

I wonder why they just built that new store not far from me . . .

I wonder why they just built that new store not far from me . . .

They are still building stores, I was meaning that they just don't stock all the items that I was going there for, for years (mostly ag related)
Similar to the way Radio Shack quit stocking restitors, diods, switches, etc and in the end seamed geard to mostly cell phones .

I needed some blasting media. So I physically went in to TSC (an 80 mile drive) - none in stock. So I order it online while in the parking lot, mistakenly figuring it may take days to get there. I get an email on my way home that it's ready for pickup. And they only hold it for 2 days and they count the day you receive the email as day 1. So I call them up - sorry.

Now I could understand if it was livestock or maybe even plants, but sand or bolts?

My local TSC doesn't have everything stocked and inventoried right. I wanted a sliding barn door track. The store was out, but inventory said it was there. Since inventory said it was there, I couldn't order one. The next hour, the salesgirl that helped me, found one in back behind sacks of feed.

They probably got it from a nearby auto paint store. That's where I always got mine. About all I ever get from TSC anymore is nuts and bolts. Or if I'm there, they have it in stock and I need it now. Like a 3-point boom, which they didn't. They've shed a lot of there stock. I remember when the store nearest me (35 mile round trip) opened up. It was in the heart of farm country and they had everything in stock. I walked in there many times and they had it on the shelf. They once had the 4 different hydraulic hoses I needed. Today, you're lucky if they have four hydraulic hoses on the shelf--In total. Ordering takes too long and most times charge you shipping. I guess I'm spoiled by Amazon. :2cents:

Everytime I go to TSC for nuts and bolts................the size I want are zero stock. Always seems to me they are deleting what I need and stocking more urban stuff. My store(s) have plastic kayaks now and stuff that you should find at a sporting goods store.
