Generating a lot of buys

At the Home Depot on Route 110 in East Farmingdale around 2 p.m., seemingly every shopper was emerging from the store with a UST generator — dozens of blue boxes were crisscrossing the parking lot.
Inside, employees were loading them off pallets onto shopping carts and flatbeds for a long line of shoppers.
They're selling for $799. One employee said the generators had arrived about a half-hour earlier.
