Default Home Depot not for Do-It-Yourself'ers?

Well, I throw this along with signing for packages.

Once you sign it, you've accepted the parcel as is.
What people normally don't do is inspect it.
I don't know if by inspecting you can open the box without signing for it
(since it's still the post offices property at that point) but once it's
signed it's yers.

Some might have a 7day notification thingy....

As far as getting advice Home Depot workers....well....I think most of

these
guys are DIY'ers. The young ones might be (if they're not students) and

the
older ones might be retired contracters...but really, how much experience
can you expect these guys to have over professionals.


Actually HD doesn't look for people to hire that know the product - they
look for people who can sell things (despite what they say in the
commercials). I was interviewed on 2 different occasions by 2 different
managers at 2 local HD's. During the interviews I mentioned I know the
product area well (one time was in lumber and the other electrical) and was
told by both managers that they look for people who can sell things as the
customers who shop here (HD) know what they are doing so our people don't
need to know the product (hmmmmmm.....). So much for DIY'ers getting advice
there :-/
