The two ways of fighting profiteering

Do you think the higher ups just shrug they're shoulders when the displays are missing parts?

All your doing is making some Home Depot worker's life worse.

I was gonna bitch about it too but the cheaper Bosch ranges use the same knobs. It's an off the shelf part that Bosch is charging a ridiculous premium for.

The knobs are "brushed stainless" plated plastic with plastic parts inside. It's possible Bosch is using higher quality materials, but this is the standard Bosch range knob that goes on all of their ranges, so I suspect it's made down to a price. They're injection molded parts that cost about a quarter a piece including parts and labor.

The important parts of the knob are all inside the range. But still can cost as little as about 10 bucks for an OEM part and 15 minutes of repair work if one of those should break.

I was reading some "I am a master shoplifter" threads on Reddit, and honestly I don't know why people don't steal more stuff.

I thought they banned the shoplifting subs. No?

Where does it say it's new enough to be on the floor of Home Depot?

Basically? Yes. Based on when I worked there for a stint.

They did, it was an AMA.

If you didn't learn it only for this project, that cost is already sunk regardless.

Either way the post itself contains the answer for those who haven't already sunk that cost.

Don't forget they donate to gay and trans reeducation camps right here in the US.

Yeah Lowe's sucks but I'll go there first every time.

Makes enough sense. My point was that either printing a replacement or getting the OEM part will use about the same amount of plastic, assuming the printing only takes one attempt.
