Ope, I’m suddenly reminded of my midwesterness

Did you know that you can save 11% on EVERYTHING?

I literally bought the soft toy bear that sings the jingle. I'm surprised they haven't expanded toward the coasts, I never even considered going to Lowes or Home Depot when I lived relatively nearby one. I was initially not a fan because they put the local True Value out of business but the selection and prices are just too good at Menards with much more silly charm. And the 11% rebates were amazing if you remembered to actually mail them in.

The owner is a piece of shit

You can't just tell us some rich bastard is a piece of shit and expect us to believe you! It's so rare and unlikely!

there should be articles about super rich people who don't do this shit. I already assume all of them are rapists and most are worse.

Normal people walking past and shaking their damn heads as I am somehow in a fight with a pirate…

My brother in law calls it the "whore store"...because you can get anything you want there.

Watch out for that 11% rebate

Edit: sometimes I forget that Menards is a Midwest thing. Their big advertising thing is that you can mail your receipt to receive 11% of the bill back

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I rebate me hook when the fish gets away. Yarr

This is to deprive yourself of the ability to return what you bought?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Probably, but it's a hardware store. I don't know about the habits of folks outside of my little corner of the Midwest, but very few people return things to them anyways

So the ship's wheel that he had attached to his crotch didn't provide adequate protection?

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

He removed it. It was driving him nuts

[–] Doombot1@lemmy.one 3 points 1 month ago

I always read it like a leprechaun. What did the leprechaun say when it got kicked in the nuts? “OCH, ME’NARDS!”

Save Big Money

When you shop Menards!

Jokes aside I like the rebate program.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I used to be a male prostitute, but I couldn't make a living at it because people always saved big money at Menards.

Stupid pimp.

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Menards, world renowned for selling the wettest possible lumber.

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

This whole thing made me remember those old Menard's ads that would end with the old guy drawing a circle with his jaw while saying "menAAAAAARRRRRRRDSSS!!!"

Thinking about the pirate voice always reminds me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2OEkTrZftk
