Perhaps it has more to do with fighting
for the fewer consumer dollars being
spent on home improvements these
days, and HD's management has
figured out their reputation for unhelpful
employees is hurting them.

Yeah, well....here in Denver about 4 yrs. ago, I went to HD to
purchase some spray paint in cans...Being in the painting trade for
some 40 years, I knew what I wanted and knew that I wanted them shook
so I didn't have to stand around and shake
10-12 cans one at a time....

I brought the cans up to the paint counter and asked if I could have
em shook.

Evidently I interrupted a very important conversation between two old
farts. And I was told in no way could they shake my paint cans in
their super-duper shaking machine...They said they would explode.

I said they would not...they refused to do it anyway... I asked for a
manager...He also said no...I walked out and never went back to HD
again.

Oh, and BTW, I went to Lowes and they
were more than happy to do it for me.
nothing ever exploded Except me.

I fired off an email to corporate and they could care less of my
plight...

Since that day I have bought 1000's of dollars of goods from Lowes...
I told the wife to never set foot in a HD again. AND I have told many
more the treatment I received at HD....

So there, HD....BITE ME

If you heat the cans for 5 min with a torch before using, you will get
an unbelievable paint job.
