The Home Depot

I have never been a fan of THE Home Depot but it was convenient to shop here last Sunday for some pansies and ornamental cabbages. They had a large selection in the 2.5 quart containers like we were searching for. We purchased many (25 total) of them. We returned home and began planting. Once in the thick of it it was apparent these pansies were recently replanted from smaller/​tiny containers into the 2.5 quart pots as the root system had not spread. We went on about our planting in hopes they will take in my flower bed. We will see… and i hope not to be visiting THD in the next couple months looking for my money back.

Saturday afternoon and Home Depot has two registers open, each with a line a mile long, and all the self checkouts closed. We stood for 10 minutes or so, then just left. Totally unacceptable. And this is the second time in the last couple months I’ve had to bail.
Time is a very valuable thing to some people. Home Depot apparently doesn’t grasp that concept at all.

Garden center employee was very helpful and friendly. Looked for the products we wanted in the store and on the computer. Very well-​stocked garden department.

They have a lot if you can find what you’re looking for but their employees are very hard to find. When you do find one, they look bothered by your questions. The tv commercials show them being happy and helpful. It is quite the opposite! And then you have to check out. Your choice, get in line with 100 other people at the one line open with a disgruntled cashier, a real person, or ring your own items. I do not get a discount when I ring my own items so why the hell would I want to do someone elses job? People do not like the self check out lines! I know you are reducing payroll by having self checkout but it sucks. Now to the live person checkout… usually disgruntled because everyone bypasses the self check out. I bought 1 cabinet, $ 84.00 plus 20% off. I was rang up for $ 923. When I informed her that price was incorrect, I caught attitude like I just stole her lunchbox… the she had to call someone, who took forever to get there, and he told her it was $ 84 plus 20% off to ring the bar code sheet. She had a sheet of sales items to ring the discounts and instead of just looking, I had to wait for someone else to show up then run back to do the price check, then all the way back, then she huffed at the man who came to help us… huffed at my wife and I. It was ridiculous!

Not a bad home improvement store. Employees are tough to track down, if you can find them at all. When you do find them, they are usually pretty cheerful and helpful. Their stock is not that great, and there’s a good chance you won’t find what you came for unless it’s very basic. It’s about what you expect from a Home Depot store.
