ROTFLMAO! Actually, this practice is currently about 90% in operation
at my local HD, but out in the parking lot.

How could you? I find your post horribly offensive and completely
out of keeping with these sensitive times we live in. It is in extremely
poor taste to get someone's hopes up with the expectations that they
will be offended and then not deliver. You should be ashamed.
Loved the video.

On Wed, 3 Mar 2010 23:45:29 -0500, the infamous Steve
scrawled the following:

Something to offend everyone!

http://www.youtube.com/user/pelu2k7#p/a/f/0/u4r46fGNB3U


That one definitely made my joke list. (Wiping tears of laughter from
eyes and giggling incessantly.)

P.S: While these aren't available in Southern Oregon, I saw them used
extensively in LoCal before I moved.

Wait until La Raza gets wind of this ... the guy who authorized using
HD's names ass is gonna be in a crack.

Hell, Al and Jesse Jackass may even switch sides for the opportunity
this provides.

No ****; the parking lot of my local HD looks like a Hispanic jobs fair.
While you won't draw much attention if you only have a couple of sticks of
2Xs or one or two sheets of CDX they will begin closing in on you as soon as
you break out from under the drive-thru cover if you have a cart full.

Yep, I amsure that Home Depot did not appreciate the humor.

But if this was an actual Home Depot video, we could be certain that they
would offer minimal skelled Hispanic labor for now. And then gradually phase
in totally clueless (and unskilled) asian labor as a "cost cutting" move.

Those in the parking lot belong to the, "Day Labor Union", they are on
strike and are picketing.

Does totally clueless and unskilled asian labor exist in the US?

We had a similar infestation here in Houston. My local HD put up "No
Loitering" signs and a note on the door asking customers to NOT hire these
folks. They even called the cops who carted them off by the Pedro-Wagon
full.

Now they congregate across the street.

Before the HD crackdown, I even had one acost me as I was leaving with a
couple of bags of concrete on a cart. He asked if I needed help putting them
in the car. I don't know whether he was looking for a "tip" a la
grocery-bagger guys or whether he thought I was so infirm and feeble as to
require his charitable services.

Only if Home Depot gets involved.

I wouldn't be too surprised to see HD's lawyers fire off a C&D letter to
these guys (as I seriously doubt anyone above the level of an
assistant-assistant manager on his last week at HD gave the okay for this).

In liberal Massachusetts we also have people who hang around the Home Depot
looking for work.

The downside is you have to pay them an 8 hour minimum and pick up their
healthcare for a month. They then become eligible for unemployment and the
state pays them.

They don't need to hang around the Home Depot once the state money kicks in.
(-;

Honestly though, I used to work with a guy from Texas who asked me what we
do up here to find day workers. I had no idea what he meant.

Only in Chinatowns, Koreatowns, and Vietnamtowns around the USA.
