  It's possible they stocked the wrong thing, but it was rung up as Pressure-Treated so maybe they applied the wrong barcode?

    That green tint means it is pressure treated. Just take it back (this time bring a tape measure.)

      And clip it to the belt loop of your khaki cargo shorts like the rest of us weekend warrior dads 😂

        I usually bring my 9ft magnetic tape from my car’s ceiling and my 4" brass fractional caliper from the glove box into the store but always end up prowling the lumber section for the loose tape measures. Wouldn’t want to look like I’m stealing, right?
