Home Depot really pisses me off.

Yesterday I bought a new toilet valve for one of the toilets here at home, get home, get ready to replace it...well shit, the bottom plastic nut is not there, the attachments for the little fill tube are not there , so go back today, some old guy with a pony tail working returns, he spoke good English but was Hispanic, I let it out on him, Listen, you all get these fucking returns and put them back in stock without checking them out and now it takes a second trip to correct what you all fuckup, I've got a messed up heart, I can't put up with this shit. He really apologised, "Hey guy, if it was up to me this wouldn't happen, but I'm not the boss." Pain in my arse to go there, at least all the south of the border guys that used to pile up an the parking lot are gone., only two or three Cuban guys with legitimate business in their trucks picking up merchandise.

I hate my local HD. It's a mess. was talking to the guy, listen I remember when this place was rented to Tamiami Range and Gun Shop, he goes, man. you've been around here for quite some time havent you? yup. Had some friends working at that shop....oh the good old days.

Finding staff help in HD or Lowe's is about as good a chance as hitting the lottery.. So I know the manager of our local Deland Fl. Lowe's and I see him and ask. What the hell is going on their is like NOBODY working here did you lay them off?? Yes call from HQ if sales drop a certain amount I get the call to cut staff. They get rehired but they don't want to work and get cut then work and repeat. So I have to hire new and my good staff is frigging gone.
I get new that can't bang a frigging nail in a board. The customers ask tech. questions and they have no frigging idea what their talking about. Plus they don't know where anything frigging is. Customers get pissed leave profits go down and we start all over again. Call from HQ 'Lay them off.' My check is good frig it I stopped worrying its their business.

Same with my store ( not HD or Lowe’s but home improvement)

When I’m working I spend more time helping customers than the floor staff that’s “ working “ in the department.

Was looking for some tile for a project, yesterday. Wife wanted to go see what HD and Lowe's had. We drove past a tile store and I said, let's go check that place out first and maybe get an idea of what we want. Turned out to not only have professional staff, but the prices were reasonable. After going there, HD and Lowe's were off the list.

We only have one Lowe's on this side of town but it is a pleasure to buy there, however, putting up with the traffic is a whole different story, it takes me a good 35 minutes Home Depot is 10 minutes away. At the island everything is over an hour away.

I work at Home Depot. But I wouldn't be much help to you since I work the overnight shift.

Snake is a good man I am going to HD when he is working... 😀
So I go to HD some time back and I am looking for an electrical part. Can not find it need help. Believe don't believe not ONE employee in the whole frigging store NADA UNO. Way in the back of the store I am and hear voices. See a sign 'Employee Room'. I boot the door open must be 20 people in their WTF over.
"Managers coming like now." Holy sheet room emptied like it was on fire. 🤣3 guys came to electrical to help me. 👍

Well, my shift starts at 9pm. Summer hours, we close at 10pm. So you have an hour to abuse me. And if you're calling on me, it means you need something forklifted onto your trailer or truck bed. Because I'm usually the only forklift driver after 9pm. But I'm a damn good forklift driver, I won't mess up your trailer or truck bed. And if you want a pallet of 80 lb. concrete bags (about 3200 pounds) loaded into your Ford Ranger, I ain't doing it.

I miss the home owned lumberyards…

I hate going in big box stores. There are always people there that can't speak english arguing with the cashier.

I really don't have an issue with my local HD. Can't ever find any help at Lowe's, or what I really want/require. At least the guys in my HD plumbing depot are retired/former plumbers.

I wicked overloaded a 1/2 ton little Jap truck hell it was like a little sewing machine. Crushed stone and the loader kept saying its getting to heavy. Ah what the hell does he know. Pull out to the main road went to turn? Uh no the front end came off the frigging ground. My buddy was going to lay on the hood..
We made it home but it was a hell of a trip waiting for the front end to come down so we could turn.. Guys on the turns were laughing their asses off. 😁We made it..

I prefer Toto brand toilets. They gulp down the nastiest turds.

Michelle Obama could give birth in one, and it would gulp down that little turdlet and turn it into a submarine.

American Standard Champion model, one piece. Have one in the other bathroom, never had a problem since I put it in some 20 years ago. I told my son to order me another.

I have a NIB American Standard "Champion" turd gobbler sitting in my garage, that will be installed in my first floor shithouse. Big turds.....GONE. unsinkable floaters, GONE. If a person has 'roids.... beware! A Champion toilet, might, just try to pull your asshole inside out.
