What, I can just take a sheet of MDF to Home Depot (or buy one) and say, "I need the following rectangles cut out of this: 26 1/2"x18", 26 1/2"x13", 26 1/2"x21" . . .," and they'll cut it out for me???

Sometimes, for a phenomenal fee. ;D
I think the service is mainly for cutting down 4x8 sheets to a more manageable size.

I tried to have plywood sheets cut down to size, but indeed only to make it more manageable. The cuts were horrible and not really accurate enough to be used straight away.
Maybe Home Depot does it more precise though (and with less splintering).
bishmasterb:
I've always got very "approximate" measuring when I have wood cut at Lowes or HD. I don't really think they're in the business of providing accurate cuts. Perhaps if you hand the guy a few bucks and let him know that you need precise measurements?

If you know how to talk to people properly and they have a saw and something to measure with, then yes.
