    Home Depot has become annoying
    Was in there today for supplies. Within 30 seconds of entering the store, I was accosted four times by clerks asking if I needed any help. I walk fast, so a lot of ground was covered in that 30 seconds, but gimme a break! It's not like they're on commission, trying to snag a sale.

    These people all wear the orange vest or bib, they're easily identified if you need their help. And not all customers are clueless about what they want and where to find it.

    Total turn-off. Don't these people have something better to do?

          It's wrong. I don't like salesmen hanging on my neck like a vulture either, but the commission is their motive.

          JW Cash, only one female, but gays guys also like the way I look. Maybe they were gay?

              they were probably gay, you are a handsome devil sickler.

              Lowe's is similar, can't get a moment in peace there.

                    Maybe my Home Depot is simply overstaffed, I dunno.

                    It surprised me, also ticked me off. Slowed down my pace as I was hustling to aisle 12

                      Let me give you a recent experience. I needed to buy screws to attach the fence board which is 5/8" thick to the 2X4 which is 1.5" thick. I asked for the guy to help me. Bear in mind that I knew what I wanted. Guy handed me these screws that were 3" long and says these is what you need. Off course I laughed at him telling him if I use these the screw will go through the 2x4 and don't like to have poking hazards on my fence for the kids. I told him I would buy the 1.25" long screws.

                                              they dont know that though. Anyway, the staff probably got their ass chewed this morning because a customer complained, so they were all EXTRA fukin helpful today.
