The Home Depot

I tend to write either good reviews or scathing reviews. Fortunately for you dear readers this one is going to be the latter. Yes I do realize that I’m reviewing a big box store and it probably won’t mean much.
I had to go here today as my battery operated tools are ryobi. Home Depot is the only one that carries them and I needed an angle drill. So off I go hoping for a generally normal experience buying a tool and some material for one of my many projects.
I get to the tool isle. Can’t find the tool except on the display. Ask an employee if they could help me. Get told by this asshat that he’ll call someone over that knows the section better. I’m cool with that. Fifteen fucking minutes later and no one still shows up.
Finally get another asshat show up. They say that the tool is actually in the back and not on the shelf. No problem right? Second asshat tells me he’s too busy to get a tool I need. Mother fucker what the ever living shit? Not gonna do your job? What a bitch move to do.
So I eventually wander and get the rest of the things I need. Since I use a contractor account for purchases at Home Depot or Lowes I use that side of the store to check out. Generally faster and well you get the big ass door to pull your carts out of.
While I’m in line the woman at the register just wanders away. What the shit? Leave someone standing there with over 400 dollars of material and random things waiting? Then when asking people that work there wandering around if they can check me out they say no. Also when asking for the god damn big door to be opened they tell me no.
So needless to say the tool I went to Home Depot for I bought via Amazon Prime instead. The reason? Free two day shipping and I’ll get the tool by the time I need to use it. I also didn’t have to deal with severely unprofessional persons working at a big box store.
You don’t tell a customer that you’re too busy to do your job. You don’t tell a customer with large items on their cart that you will not open the big door for them. So basically fuck this Home Depot.
Truly hope this corporation sees this and fixes their store. If not maybe some of you out there will see this review and make your choices better.

The service at this Home Depot is always great. I found what I needed quickly and was satisfied.

Walking into Home Depot, I instantly feel out of place. What the hell do I know about perennials, caulking and MDF? I’ll tell you my friends, not a damn thing. But I’m learning and whatever I can’t easily google from my phone, I can ask any one on the floor about and they can at least point me in the right direction.
I was looking into making my own entry table /​bookcase hybrid and a helpful Home Depot employee must have seen me wandering aimlessly in the building materials aisles and came to my aid. Talked me through options from cedar to particle board, giving me pros and cons for each and I walked outta there with a clear vision. Getting my measurements and will be back (and will no doubt, be in search for some more advice.)
