Good point.

I, personally, am boycotting that store. The service sucks and last time I was in one I had to wait almost an hour to check out. I even asked two separate workers to find some more checkers and they told me they were in the middle of inventory and there were no more checkers. Too bad for me.

There's something about a lengthy wait in line to give my money to someone that just doesn't seem right.

Besides, I don't know if you've noticed it, but their prices have skyrocketed.

Same here. Well it was at a Lowe's and I walked over to the manager in charge that was throwing a flippin nerf football to his friends to get some cashiers up there pronto. He huffed and called a "Code Red" which probably means "See if you can kick lelio out of the store."

Well no one came in 5 minutes so I ask dufus again, and this time he opens up a register himself.

What really amazes me is that HD hasn't gone to a single line approach, where everyone gets in one huge line and then they go to the next available cashier. I always manage to get behind the person that doesn't label their 12 different varieties of screws and this would solve that.

Oh and then there was the time they ran out of carts, the day I'm trying to pick up some laminate flooring to the tune of $800. You would think they'll have some in the aisle for people to use, but no. Fed up with this low rent treatment I walked across the street to a store that just sold wood flooring.

Perhaps that's why HD's are stand alone stores and aren't often in strip malls like that one: a business could setup right there and get all the frustrated HD customers as instant buyers. Heck you could just offer to go over to HD for a 10% fee and you'll be making money.
