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.

Our fridge broke a few weeks ago and it was going to take like 4 days to get a service appointment and god knows how long to get parts because of the ~supply chain~, Home Depot had like, some gig guy drop this off in like 8 hours on a Sunday, A++

Converts to a full garage freezer when we can finally get it out of our house, god it hurt to explain to my friend that came over last weekend that this was not a lifestyle choice to have it in our dinning room, we were waiting on parts for our four door fridge and not living in like a trailer home where the fridge breaks and you buy a $100 Walmart fridge and just leave the old one there because it is too hard to get it out of the trailer home and you have no where to put it if you did.

so much crime that you just kinda record it all and go after the ones that are too obvious

Does Lowes pay better? It's basically the same place as Home Depot but the employees actually know things.

It's so weird that I have never seen one single person in my entire life who doesn't use darkmode give a single gently caress what color anybody else's screen is

Y'all are really trying to compete with vegans and people who "don't watch TV"

Brightmode causes slightly more eye strain, which means it's basically like jamming your thumb in someone's eye. But if you haven't battle hardened your eyes for the inevitable stoogening yet, you're hopeless anyway.

quote:

Is dark mode better for your eyes?
While dark mode has a lot of benefits, it may not be better for your eyes. Using dark mode is helpful in that it’s easier on the eyes than a stark, bright white screen. However, using a dark screen requires your pupils to dilate which can make it harder to focus on the screen.

Why does eye dilation make it harder to see? When your pupils dilate, your vision becomes less clear. When your pupils constrict under bright light, your vision sharpens. Just like a camera, a smaller aperture provides greater depth of focus. For this reason, it may be more difficult for some people to clearly see screen details in dark mode.

People who have myopia or astigmatism also may experience halation (from the word “halo”). Halation occurs when light spreads past a certain boundary, creating a foggy or blurry appearance.

In other words, white letters can appear to bleed into a black background, making it more difficult to read, especially if the print is fine.

Halation is more common and more severe when using dark mode, so those who already have vision issues may benefit more from a dimmed light mode or blue-light-filtering mode. No matter what mode you use to view your phone, the best way to ensure clear, comfortable viewing is to see your eye doctor for regular eye exams and an up-to-date vision prescription.

Correcting underlying vision problems will bring relief that dark mode can never achieve, both on screen and off. And if you’re going to get new glasses, you can add special lens coatings in the process that will block glare and filter blue light. But remember that not all products that claim to block or filter blue light will filter blue-violet light or blue-turquoise light. In addition, the type of blue light emitted from electronic screens may vary by manufacturer or device setting.

Home Depot is the only place around here that has those

They even have recorded messages playing reminding you that you're being actively recorded and monitored by the local police!

People with low standards tend not to mind low quality products, yes. Good job figuring that out.

man i worked there for a year doing overnight stocking, my literal job was to know where poo poo was in the hardware section, and even i couldn't tell you where to find anything. home depot has the shittiest store layout known to man and making min wage on the day crew would not motivate anyone to learn gently caress all
