Yea, Fortune saved thee in days past
---if ye'd been here, and then survived.

What's up with the negative (and dumb !) reviews
for other Home Depots? (Lowes, too.)
Talk about petty, angry, and just plain ignorant.
I'm sure that if a customer poll was taken there'd be an overwhelming percentage of positive experiences---excellent being the majority---in product, sales and customer service. Fortunately, most of us are smart enough to recognize---and ignore as worthless---negative reviews stemming from utter obliviousness. Some cases in point:
1. Supporting local businesses rather than the Big Boxes. I'm all for it. A shame there aren't more local hardware stores whose owners---and their families---we can help by contributing to their personal household funds in order for them to stay in business. If one is near you, please stop there first.
~~~ What the "negatives" just don't get:
Big box stores employ local HUMANS who also have families to feed---and bills to pay. When these stores begin hiring from out of the country, is the time to boycott---and justifiably bad-mouth. Until then, your "local" belief is pure
nonsense. The times are changing, and our needs and demands are increasing
---all at alarming speeds. We NEED warehouse-fulls of merchandise to not only construct, but repair, maintain, and replace what we already have.
2. No Big Box employee is within arm's reach to help you. Boo-hoo.
~~~ What the "negatives" just don't get:
If you are THAT helpless you have NO business visiting ANY do-it-yourself establishment. This is out of your league. (To your credit, however, you were able to find the entrance. hmmm... since I wasn't present, maybe someone had to point it out to you.) I can assure you that if you ventured off that spot you were stuck to---maybe someone spilled a can of quick-setting glue and you just happened to step into it? ---you'd soon be able to find someone who would do their best to assist you.
3. Big Boxes should hire people who have had experience with the products.
~~~ What the "negatives" just don't get:
In the perfect retail world, this is true. But in reality, a totally absurd and scary expectation. With the million or so products and thousands of possible projects
---compared to the handful of employees---that would be impossible and illogical. Certainly, you will find employees with expertise in one or even several areas, but to expect answers to any question you might have confirms your stupidity. That's why they offer FREE "how-to" pamphlets as well as affordably-priced magazines and do-it-yourself publications. Computer, too ! You know---
what you used to write your mean-spirited reviews?
.
If the above doesn't make sense to some of you, it falls upon me to be the bearer of truth: Plain and simple, you have no common sense. And that's dangerous. Before seriously injuring yourself---or others---stay away from any store like Home Depot or Lowe's----ones that require your mental or physical interaction.
Maybe someday, DIY-type stores will have "safe rooms" for helpless adults like yourself where you can wait while the (hopefully sensible) person you came with does the shopping---like the kiddie play areas in grocery stores. Until then, and ONLY if you happen to be accompanying someone who has common sense, please behave yourself---and whatever you do, DON'T touch anything, DON'T waste any employees' time by asking questions since you'd never understand the answers anyway, and DON'T write baseless, bubble-brained negative reviews. Better yet, stay in the car.
This Home Depot has proven itself indispensable
on countless occasions. Most recently, my Superhero was
Chuck---and his able sidekicks, Scott and John M.
As long as you don't feel that you're way above others---if you DO, you're actually way way beneath them---but you're just a good old normal considerate mature human being with common sense---you will appreciate having this dependable, well-stocked Big Box, for a helpful, friendly neighbor.
