What do you expect for minimum wage?

HD opened here with all these "trade experts" in every isle. They
thought they would clean up the market. many long term building
supliers closed down for fear they would never compete.
Five or six years later, HD has no experts left, not even the
industrial accident ones. You can't get anybody to serve you, let
alone know anything about a trade tip. The plumbing isle has a guy
that has heard of PEX pipe and another that doesnt know the difference
between PEX-AL-PEX fittings and even one of the 6 different types of
PEX fittings, if you can find him not busy in the shingles sales isle.

...and you want them to know and understand the electrical safety code
too? Most of them are having a hard time knowing that a 1/2" knockout
isn't a physical threat.

Where did you see me say they were selling illegal transfer
switches?

The comment, once again to clarify was . HD has a shelf full of
illegal (in Canada) transfer switches and they hide them (not sell
them) to cover up their code ignorance. (the purchasing agent
thinks
he is still in the US)

Let me get this straight. HD Canada, which has purchasing
independent
of HD US, has agents that somehow manage to get confused about which
country they live in, except that they get it right for just about
everything _but_ transfer switches, and continues to spend money
buying, stocking and shipping expensive objects they can't and won't
sell?

I really really don't think HD is that dumb. They'd be broke
if their inventory management system was that broken.
