Not around here. They barely even have a metric bolt section.... it's annoying.

Are you sure it's a Lowe's? Every Lowe's I've ever been to has a whole aisle of hardware trays.

Home Depot on the other hand has 2 crappy racks....

Yes Lowes and home depot. They both have a ton of standard hardware but only a couple drawers of metric. I used to work at Home Depot so I spent a lot of time looking at everything in the store.
