On 11/11/2010 10:40 AM Country spake thus:

I was in my local Home Depot the other day and instead of the usual
friendly service everyone I saw working there looked like they were
not very happy to be there and a lot less friendly and less patient
than what I remember.

Anything bad going on in the world of HD?

Maybe just the usual crap? Stupid, overbearing bosses, crappy pay,
virtually no training, etc.?

Friend of mine works at the Despot and reports all of the above.

Ackshooly, since I'm in my local store almost weekly, I've noticed over
the last year or so a definite upgrading of the staff, as well as a
noticeably cleaner store. They seemed to have gone on something of a
hiring spree, and also seem to be responding to what they must know is a
****-poor customer service image. But this may vary from store to store.



Back a bit in NC I was in one and the tool dept head was venting to
another
employee. From what I overheard (and it wasn't hard) they wanted some
people to come in, work for an hour, take their lunch break then work the
remaining shift.

Imagine that. Am employer asking an employee to do something!

Ridiculous!
