I normally go to Home Depot, however, I was in the area and needed to pick up a couple of things. First, I needed a garden hose filter so I can give my Tower Garden chlorine free water. Usually at Home Depot if they see someone wandering around they are always more than helpful in offering assistance. I had to actually interrupt two employees chit chat ( how rude of me) to ask for help. The lady had no idea what I was talking about and looked at me like I was an idiot for needing something like that. Needless to say I left extremely discouraged as well as empty handed. Came home and ordered what I needed off amazon without dealing with crowds, traffic or unhelpful workers. And people wonder why companies are losing tons of business to online sales.
