There is one at Home Depot too. I once needed 50 feet of 3/4” rope for a safety line. I told the girl working there how much I wanted and she started pulling it. I went to get something else I needed while she was doing it. When I came back, there was a huge pile of rope on the floor and she was just finishing. I said that I only needed 50 feet. She insisted that it was 50 feet and put a label on it. I took it to the cashier and checked out. When I got home I measured it. Over 300 feet. It must have been slipping when she pulled it.

Someone's getting a talking to after the next RGIS visit... That's not even a conversion error, as neither 50 yards nor 50 meters would equal 300+ feet.
