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.

1. The greeters who welcome you to our store aren’t really there to
greet you. If we look you in the eye as you’re coming and going,
you’re less likely to shoplift.
