Harbor Freight Tool

You can get some good bargains at this store — that is, ANY Harbor Freight Tools store. I went in to get an electric pole saw for a bargain price of $ 60. It had very good reviews online. All is well with this. The staff seemed nice enough also.
However, it took 30 minutes to check out due to network issues. We almost had to do the old fashion method of swiping the card. Did I get an apology or perhaps a little customer goodwill bonus? Nope.
Plus, I noticed that when the transaction went thru my bank, it showed as two identical pending transactions. In the end, only one actually was posted BUT the double amount was not available to me for 5 days! Unacceptable.
It doesn’t matter if the amount is as tiny as $ 0.01 (it was much higher than that for this transaction). The point is they have no right to «hold» my money. Period. I also found out that they are aware of the problem.
Will I go back? Probably not, unless they have a fantastic deal AND I go with cash for both credit card network and banking reasons. Likelihood? …almost nil
