The Home Depot

Stopped by to purchase drywall anchors. they have Bigger and better variety. Should have taken small videos of the greeter, and cashier today. First of all I engaged in the greeting and mention the good mornings to the greeter for her just to respond with a unenthusiastic «hi».That didn’t bother me so much until I heard her enthusiastically Greet one of her coworkers. I’m not sure if it was A race thing, just never know these days. cashier an old lady walked in she close to her 80s, she was a very well groomed, and was pretty ambulatory and independent. She asked the cashier she wanted to return something. cashier directed her. After the senior citizen passed by the cashier asked me what person in the world doesn’t know where to find the returns desk. I responded well she’s old-​school and is used to hospitable and kind customer service. I find that this morning staff was extremely poor with customer service, and as far as enthusiastic making you feel like a welcome customer. Next time I go when Film actions do speak louder than words.

The service at this home depot kinda sucks. I was looking for a part to hook up my portable dishwasher to my sink.
They don’t have the call buttons to call someone to help and employees were hard to find. I finally found someone who took me to the aisle and ditched me. Never found what I needed.
Meh. I’ll stick to the Home Depot on Earhart.

This Home Depot has improved somewhat. I had gotten used to understocked hardware drawers and non existent employees, but with the somewhat close Lowes store, these guys stepped up their game.
Its is pretty much identical to every other HD store you may have visited. Though if you wish to rent heavy machinery like manlifts and posthole diggers, you will need to visit the Gretna, La. location.
Also like other HD stores, there is a small gathering of available laborers waiting in the bushes for any work you might have at home.
Somewhat organized, improving stocking and self check out registers have helped this location.

First, I will say that ⁹⁄₁₀ times, I shop at Lowe’s rather than Home Depot. I’m not sure why — just a personal preference, I guess. Maybe the blue is an easier color on the eyes than the orange.
However, my dishwasher broke, and Home Depot just happened to be having a great sale at the exact same time.
We purchased the dishwasher, along with an extended warranty, from the lovely employee in the appliances department.
She scheduled our delivery & installation (FYI, dishwasher installation costs extra since they have to do more than just plug it in). While she couldn’t give an exact date, she gave a ballpark, and said they would call.
I’ve gone back and forth over this in my mind. The delivery was a disaster. However, at this point, I can’t remember the name of the delivery company that Home Depot uses for their New Orleans-​area deliveries, and since they are the ones who use this company, I’m going to go ahead and include it in the review.
As noted, I paid extra for the install. They came on a day when I couldn’t possibly escape work, so I sent my mother-​in-​law to let them in.
First, they showed up with the wrong dishwasher. Why? Because they had just dropped off my dishwasher at their first stop (it was just a drop off, not an install). So they went back to go switch dishwashers.
Next, they decided that the opening for the dishwasher was too large, even though the previous dishwasher had the exact same dimensions. So instead of actually attaching the dishwasher to anything, they just attached the water hookups, plugged it in, shoved it in the hole, and said goodbye. Also, it took them almost 3 hours to do this.
Wtf.
When I got home and saw this, I called up the company to reschedule. They sent someone a few days later who finally attached the dishwasher to the cabinet so that I could actually use it.
The second time around, I’m happy with it. I love my dishwasher, and the service at the store level was awesome.
However, the delivery & install process took way, way longer than it should have.
