    The real problem is when there’s no employees available to open the cabinet. I’m sorry, Home Depot, but I’m not going to run around the store trying to find someone only to have them call someone else just so I can get a $50 roll of copper wire.

        Except when they accost you to do that stupid fucking survey and just dive right in without your consent. Boy, they find you then… When deciding between Lowe’s and Home Depot, I lean toward going to Lowe’s simply because of that bullshit.

          My daughter loves Five Below. Last time I went there, they forced me to rate my shopping experience between 1 and 10 in order to finish checking out. I did 5 because fuck their statistics.

          The third-party sales people trying to scam you into a new AC are the best. My go-to is “Sorry, you’d have to ask my landlord.” I haven’t had a landlord in years.

            Once at a store the person wearing a DirectTV shirt said “what do you use for TV service?” I just said “we have lots of DVDs we don’t watch” he didn’t even try to continue the sales pitch

          Seeing the nonsense Lowes and Home Depot pulls makes me happy to live within Menard’s territory. Similar prices and stock but less corporate BS

      And they always look so put out by the request too. Like they don’t want to help but do it begrudgingly. Who wants to go through all that
