I have a couple of friends that work in HD. One (who is a real corker)
was in Kitchens & Baths for a long time. They needed someone in plumbing
permanently and moved them there. Friends choice is do it or quit I
guess.

I was in there getting some plumbing stuff once and was BSing with the
friend. Customer comes and friend moves to them while I stand on the
sidelines. Customer asks some stuff. They yak. More customer Q's. Friend
finally says I don't know. I'm no plumber. Just Google it. I almost had a
personal plumbing leak.


I like your pal.
My favorite local HD person is the old gal doing the "welcoming" at
the entrance.
She says "Hi."
I say "Hi, where can I find poly varnish?"
She say "That's in aisle 18," and points the way.
Maybe 6 times I've asked her where to find different things.
Every time she steers me right. Hardly hesitates.
Saves me a lot of walking.
I love her.
