I’ve been in Home Depots a lot in recent years, in Fl, CA and WA. They seem the same everywhere... plenty of employees loitering around, but none of them know anything about anything.
“They seem the same everywhere... plenty of employees loitering around, “
Really???
The first thing I notice when I go to Home Depot is how many illegals are standing in the front of the store and the dirty looks I get when i park.
I spent 35 years of my life in the Hardware Distribution Business with 2 privately held distributors. What you say about Home Depot is generally correct. Don’t expect them to be knowledgeable.
But I think they are better than Lowe’s employees on that point.
We have been treated well by Home Depot in general. I like them a lot better than most Mass Merchants. We have bought quite a bit from them. The store is 60 miles away from us.
