Imagine going to the hardware store and someone calls it a fucking “boutique”.
No one ever did that, they’re talking about a garden center you know where you get plants a hardware store is where you get bits of wood, some spare drain pipe and fork handles.
Yeah. Also I explained it in another comment, but in my country there’s usually two types of places where you can get flowers. Large flower or hardware stores for one, but then the rest are tiny oases of beauty where the owner is also the person selling you the flowers, and have their own handcrafted items for decoration and/or sale, like vases, baskets, etc.
That’s like the farthest thing from a hardware store, even if hardware stores do indeed also sell flowers. But I guess there are places in the world where beautiful small family businesses don’t exist so all you get is Walmart and Ace Hardware and then you think all businesses are giant faceless corporations.
Yeah, we have those in the US too. Not sure why that other commenter seems to think Ace Hardware is the smallest business that sells plants, there are plenty of small nurseries in every state.
Maybe they just live in a really bleak and lifeless small town or something and don’t really explore to find the cool places.
