Is it possible to get a 2×3 board cut to 2×2.5 at a home improvement store?

I need 2 pieces of wood measuring around 1.5 inches by 2 inches by 64+ inches (actual dimensions). I have a circular saw, but I am not comfortable cutting a half inch off across the whole board with it. It does not have to be a super precise cut; rough cut is fine. I can do the last length-wise cuts. I can't find any wood at Home Depot or Menard's that measures 2×2.5 inches nominally, but I have found a 2×3 board. Is this a cut that they can do for me? If so, which store (out of the three -- Menard's, Home Depot, or Lowe's) is the best to ask for this cut? submitted by /u/Glass-Image-4721 [link] [comments]
