West Hartford, CT — A 71-year-old West Hartford man was arrested after making a homophobic slur to a Home Depot cashier and referencing the Orlando, Florida, nightclub shooting on Wednesday, according to police.
West Hartford Police responded to the Home Depot on New Park Avenue around 11:30 a.m. to speak with an employee regarding a report of a hostile customer.
The employee told police he was talking to the customer about why he was wearing gloves at the register before it “quickly evolved into a harassing discussion about the employee's sexuality,” according to the police report.
The employee told police that the customer called him a “faggot” and referenced the Orlando, Florida, nightclub shooting. The comments were overheard by another employee, police said.

“....was arrested and charged with breach of peace and intimidation based on bigotry or bias. He was assigned a $25,000 surety bond.”
Dollars to donuts the HD employee is a faggot that has some kind of rot that he has to keep covered.
Um, no that was a meme pushed by the propagandists, the ex-wife and her companion lied.
My longtime friend that does all his own maintenance and handiwork, says the same thing, from experience.
Actually, it’s the opposite. HD got a new CEO a while back who turned the company into pure hell for store employees and the company began to have serious problems because he destroyed their can-do attitude. A culture was created and frozen in place.
...
Was that Nardelli, who was paid $210 million as severance for doing such a horrible job?
No matter. My feeling is, you say anything rude or to a customer or have attitude, you might as well quit right there on the spot, or you are getting let go.
Doesn’t mean you have to take crap. If the customer behavior is egregious enough to cause you to be rude back, then you call your supervisor over.
I don’t want someone working for me who can’t maintain a front to a customer. I don’t care how uncivil that customer is. Granted, I may completely side with that employee, but if I have a code of conduct in place and a process to follow, they better do it. And that code of conduct will specifically bar contentious discourse with customers, and a process if it is encountered.
I’m not going into East Palo Alto, but I’ll try Sunnyvale.

“Never”
Wait. Are you female? That would explain it. Females would get a grunt, not a nasty comeback.
He should have converted to Islam on the spot. They would have let him go.
I watched a germophobe clean his hands with some alcohol-bearing hand cleaner, and then the moron immediately tried to light a cigarette. You can guess what happened. LOL!
Condolences are nice, but I need body armor more.
>>Was that Nardelli, who was paid $210 million as severance for doing such a horrible job?
I think that’s the name.
“Jews could never have believed how bad things were gonna get so they stayed and hoped. Their fellow countrymen could NEVER try to erase them from the earth!”
In our particular case, we have no place to go.
Interesting, Lowe’s is always good to me and they give me my Military discount no problem even out of state, Home Depot always argues so much about my ID that it’s a pain and a waste of time.
“This is for real? Arrested for saying something?”
Welcome to New America where our most cherished citizens are radical Islamists and sexual deviates. Do not disturb the animals under penalty of law.
” turned the company into pure hell for store employees and the company began to have serious problems because he destroyed their can-do attitude. A culture was created and frozen in place.”
I don’t know how your HD is, or you even go to them anymore, but I hate going to the ones around me. Aside from having a hard time finding someone to help me, especially in paint, I get made them they just driving their heavy fork lift down an aisle and chase everyone away to do this, and then take about 10 minutes to do whatever they came down there to do.
“...huge bureaucratic apparatus...The framework is all in place, and the ideology is coming together. It will be no big thing to slip into a very nasty tyranny.”
You nailed it. Without the apparatchiki class, none of this stuff could be happening.
Stalinism. It’s happening right before our eyes. And a people with no knowledge even of 20th century history—not very long ago— can’t see it.
I have a feeling there is much more to this story than boorish comments.

That’s the culture he created with his accounting-driven company instead of the old customer-centered culture that made HD great.
“I have a feeling there is much more to this story than boorish comments.”
Agreed. Hopefully it was more than a rude comment that got him arrested.
That's why I don't patronize Homey Despot, or any other progressive corporate hive that is intolerant of the truth.
It’s self-evident that sexual dimorphism evolved because sex, the genetic exchange between Male and Female, increases the fitness of species; and what LGBTwhatever activists have selected isn’t sex, but the worship of themselves and the transhumanist/postgenderist abomination of Nature.
