| - I used to spend a lot of time here. Sometimes I'd just wander the aisles and look in wonder or fantasize about what it would be like to work here.
The store is well organized and clean and if you've been here a few times, usually you don't need to ask for help to find what you need. Checkout associates have always been great as well as the roaming department associates.
The one major beef I have are the home services associate model. If you've ever been asked "have you heard what Home Depot is doing for home owners today?" you know what I'm talking about. If im in a Home Depot, it's because something is broken or needs to be amended, and there is usually a spouse imposed deadline. This also means that every second counts! I do not need window coverings, new A/C units, new windows, new floor covering or new kitchen cabinets. Someone would approach me on average twice a store visit. I eventually got more and more creative with my "no thank you." I'd say, "I rent" or "no they haven't, but I don't have time now" or "I'm only interested in services you can personally provide" before they can even open their mouths. The last one gets mixed responses, but still an effective repellent. I've thought about making a shirt that looks just like theirs and wearing it when I go, then I don't even have to open my mouth. Anyway...
Came here the other day to purchase something from the nursery. I asked for "something trailing that does well in full sun." The associate responds, "you want a vine?" Oh boy.
