Home Depot
Employee Fired Over Shoplifter Incident, Customer Leaves Store

The Home Depot store in Waterford, CT fired an employee for interfering with a shoplifter who had just wheeled a shopping cart full of chainsaws out the door. Home Depot says he should have smiled and said, "Have a nice day!" It seems the company is promoting a culture of cowardice and firing the good guys. (See the letters to the editor at www.theday.com for Wednesday, September 17.)

I've spent about $50,000 there over the years for my home and businesses. Never again will I step foot in one of their stores. Lowe's is the winner!
