Didja see the Nardelli interview on Charlie Rose several months ago?
Ackshooly, Charlie Rose was not the interviewer--he was Nardelli's fukn
*concubine* for the hour.
After the break, I do believe Rose slid under that big round table and blew
Nardelli, and blew him properly, cuz after the break Nardelli had this big
****-eating grin on his face, and Rose was dabbing himself w/ a napkin.

It thus appears that Home Despot, contrary to my previous ignerint-assed
philistinic assertions, is the Savior of America and of America's Culture.
Silly me. gulp aahhhhhhh

Dixon. That's an odd nickname for someone named BOB NARDELLI.
You sound like a nice feller, though. I'm sure your stockholders will
feel the same.
Respectfully,

Today I was in Home Depot, standing in line to pay for a couple rolls of
hardware cloth. In front of me was a gentleman, and I use that term
loosely, that had placed on the counter six one inch electrical PVC
ells,
along with six couplings, each of which was attached to the ells.
The
ells had their UPC stamped on them, but the connectors had a stick-on
label.
To a woman clerk, that may or may not be wise to how such things look
and
are used, it was very easy for the items to be scanned by the label
only,
considering the UPC on the ells blended well with the other data printed
thereon.

That's what happened. The buyer paid with a credit card, the total
coming
to under $3. It was obvious to me that he had placed the connectors on
the
ells intentionally, likely thinking they would get scanned just as they
did.
I did more than nothing, but I'm interested in hearing what others might
think would have been a good course of action to take. When I've heard
various opinions, I'll describe what I did, and why I did it.

Comments?

As the owner of the Home Depot chain, I actually encourage this type of
activity in my customers. It lessens my horrible guilt of what I am doing
to the American worker. Next year, to show my patriotism, I will try to
sell more goods made in the USA. My goal is to break the 1% barrier of
USA made items. I know this goal seems fantastic and impossible, but
someone has to try it. Wish me luck!
