The last 3 or 4 times I have gone to Home Depot, I had to leave empty-handed because there was no one available to help me. I needed help getting something down from a high shelf, and customers are not allowed to use the forklifts. The other times I was shopping for lumber, 20 bags of mulch and light fixtures. Each time I was told that due to the economy they had cut back on staff, and therefore no one was available to help customers.
The economy is not going to get any better at Home Depot if they cannot sell anything. Luckily, Menard's is fully staffed and has been able to help each time.
Please note that I am not a contractor. I am a single middle-aged female, and the purchases were for my own home. One of the salespeople told me to come back with my husband so he could help me. Is it 2010? I guess they did not know that women are allowed to buy homes without a husband now!
