I actually like the
self check but there are times when you need a real person to do the
work.


They're great for prepackaged items with UPCs, but for anything that's no
prepackaged or for big items like 2x4s it's much easier to have a real
person use their portable scanner to check you out.

If I had to guess I would say that HD and Lowes have fewer "Just two
light prepackaged items" customers than department stores like Kmart and
Walmart.

I was buying some siding that was available at both Lowes and HD. It
seemed that the siding from Lowes was better quality. Same with PT 2x4s.
Lowes tool section is better. Some of th sales droids at HD are real goofs
but you can get that anywhere. The CEO of HD is a real asshole from what I
hear from employess. There is no dedication to the company or the job
either.

Isn't HD what "Handy Andy" and "Handy Dan" evolved into? I expect that HD
is headed to the same demise.
