Since when was HD's service anything other than worthless?

Seems to be the luck of the draw. I have found some HD employees who are
actually very knowledgable and helpful. One old guy in the store I shop at
(Emeryville, CA) is very good with electrical stuff.


Seems to be that way in most any store. I have talked with electricians in
the stores that were working there because of bad economy or they were
retired. Same as in an electrical supply store I know of. Sometimes you
just get a guy that only knows where the item is on the shelf if you can
show him one.
