When you first walk into a Home Depot there’s always a stack of orange buckets by the entrance, and for the longest time I thought they were HD’s equivalent of a shopping basket. I’d haul that thing around just throwing screws and hardware into it, and then just put it next to the cash register when I was done. They’d always ask if I wanted the bucket too, and I just thought it was a clever way of selling more buckets. Only about a month ago did I realize they’re just buckets, and everyone at HD just thought I was mentally imbalanced.
