I remember when home ******** first started how they were supposd to
have people who had actually worked in the trades manning the
aisles...now we know if a tradesman goes to home depot...unless is old
or disabled...then he or she is worthless or lazy anyway.

Ive actually seen a home depot employee go off on a couple of customers
one time, I think he was drunk or something cause he was
cursing...talking about asshole customers....I got another HD employee
who then ran and got a manager or some supervisory person and they
removed that boy from the floor.

I help people quite a bit when in HD or lowes, especially older
folks...makes me feel good to actually be able to help someone even
though it is taking up my time and Im not getting paid to do it like
the HD/lowes employees.

I give correct accurate information too...

Anyhow...what you are descibing is not limited to HD/Lowes....its an
infection that is rapidly spreading across america.....its called fat
lazy and ignorant american worker syndrome.

true....a couple of years ago at a local large electronics store, I was
looking at a Notebook PC. I know computers but this particular PC had
a connector (or buss) that I didn't recognize. I asked an employee who
looked at the label and began reading it to me....I almost exploded with
laughter but let him finish reading. I then asked him to go find
someone knowledgeable who could help me because I didn't need help
reading. The department manager came over and apologized, got my
question and proceded to read the label a 2nd time to me. This time, I
asked him if he could get the manual for me on this display model,
looked up the answer I needed and made sure the Manager and the employee
knew the answer for the next poor soul who asked.
