Central Center Hardware — Local services in Chillicothe

I grew up, well physically, in an era of fantastic customer service led by the Gib Allen of Allen's Drugstore and many many other people in many other stores in Chillicothe As we all know customer service has deteriorated to "WHAT IS IT AGAIN"?" AFTER YOU ASK A BASIC QUESTION TO A DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS EMPLOYEE. Ah, but alas there is still Madelyn and the others at Center Center Hardware in?, you guessed it.Central Center. I needed a can of compressed air to clean a keyboard, the temp dial on my Solara, etc. Not wanting to to go Wally World in all that traffic of people who actually go there just to bang the doors of their 78 Chevies into the sides of my new Solara, I thought about an alternative place and called Central Center Hardware. A Madelyn answered .I told her what I was looking for. She actually said "I KNOW WE CARRY IT BUT LET ME GO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY" As she went to check I recovered from fainiting in time hear her say "Yes we have it on the shelf and it $8.95 (MAKING IT CHEAPER THAN THE ONE I HAD TO BUY WAL-MART ONE TIME).
