Isn't the paint section always in the middle and in the front, with its own dedicated section with walls?

the best part of using home depot for painting is the joy of spending countless torturous hours and visits picking and arguing about the perfect shade, excitedly going to the store with your partner full of ideas and confidence, optimistically watching waiting and hoping while some idiot at home depot pours way too much blue into your paint mix, going home and seeing that once you actually try to apply it you realize you've just got some vaguely brown bucket of trash, and then disappointingly throwing out whatever it was that you were going to repaint

Because I was 19 and was paid $12.50 an hour lol. The only knowledgeable people working there are retiree tradesmen who work because they’re bored. If someone has practical knowledge on building and repair why the gently caress would you work at Home Depot? Also department 25 had 25,000 unique SKUs and the store overall had something like 130,000. No way in hell could I bothered to learn where that many things are.

pencilhands posted:Home depot is the weirdest loving store. Any time I ask any employee literally any question they stare at you blankly and go “uhhhhhh let me look that up” or “sorry I don’t work in this area of the store” it’s like every single person working there started the job 5 minutes ago. I think I could cosplay as a Home Depot employee better than someone who actually works there. I no longer bother asking anyone where anything is because aimlessly wandering the aisles is faster. this is the end result of big box stores, op. everyone who works there doesnt give a poo poo because theyre getting minimum wage and no institutional training.

OP, the reason the reddit poster you stole this from (and other posters itt who agree) notice it more in the Home Depot is because you have this weird-rear end idea that Home Depot employees are all plumbers and carpenters instead of retail workers same as in any other store. "Oh yes, I know where you can find a compression ballcock! I know exactly what that is. I work with compression ballcocks all the time!"

The man working in the plumbing section suggested I use two accordion flex pipe sections instead of a p trap. That way I could make whatever shape I wanted! (I hadn't asked for help.) I like the young guy in the paint department. He is supportive and encouraging of my stupid DIY choices. Hope they make you assistant manager, Bill!

Lowe’s is good, but they love to clearance out and discontinue everything I usually go there for. Home Depot doesn’t seem to do that as frequently, but it’s farther than Lowe’s. ACE Hardware superiority. They’re a little bit more, but guaranteed to have what I’m looking for.
