I don't like Home Depot.

Lowe's all the way!

We have scanners at the grocery store and at Wal-mart. If you have 20+ items, PLEASE use the clerk!

I guess it's time to dump the HD stock and buy Lowes.

What is the big deal with Home depot anyway. I mean is it for home fix it up stuff and construction.

I don't have the time to do home repairs so I call my plumber of 10yrs, or my GC or whoever to do the job.

Plus if I tried any home repair I would majorly screw up what ever I was trying to improve.

If HD is trying to cut down on how much you buy each time, they're heading in the right direction. The only register open is in the tool sec. (no carts allowed) so people are all bunched up at the counter trying to form a line, to no avail and giving each other pained looks.

Nope, won't do it. Walmart has a ton of self-scans and they are not limited by the number of items. I treat them like open lines. If Walmart feels this isn't to their benefit, I'm sure they'll change their item policy on them in the future. Only thing I hate about the self-checkout is they aren't the place for coupons--ugh! And they don't say it until it finally won't accept anymore and the clerk has to enter each one individually(put a damn sign up walmart!)

Not at the grocery store I go to. As many as you want, and I can zip through there like nothing. Love it.

At the Kroger's nearby, which I don't use as often, there are 2 separate sections, for under-15 items, or larger orders, so that's easy too.

Much prefer it to checkers who lick their fingers when touching my money and my stuff! Not to mention scanning the same item 3 times which happens, and I can't tell till later.

Totally the reverse situation here in WA state (Seattle-Everett area)

Lowes is the one who can't seem to have a pick in stock (yes, picks for picking the ground). I'm surprised they had hammers in stock.

Lowes is the one that blows here. Home Depot is both good and very helpful.
