Thank you Taylor and the manager on duty 8/28. (as well as everyone at HD) I was there a few days ago, bought a faucet and by distraction of my 2 year old daughter somehow forgot to put the merchandise in my trunk.
I really didnt expect them to give me a replacement as the story sounds unlikely. However after really listening to me and checking with Loss Prevention they confirmed my events and replaced the faucet free of charge!
Thank you Home Depot! You have a customer for life!!!
