You can indeed say dat to da staff at da local True Value Hardware store, but good luck on getting any discounts or other "preferential perks" as a result.
Perhaps da famous radio-ad phrase, "...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you" might have been more recognizable "way back when" during da time when everyone's favorite deep-and-rich-tone-voiced Irish sportscaster was making those ads, but in more-modern times, da Cotter & Co. stores' mostly-from-da-newer-generation employees will likely just give you puzzled looks if you jokingly spout said remark when you walk in da door. :P
