Well, you think I would learn my lesson. NOPE! Back in the day, I remember home depot had just about anything you were looking for. Now they hardly ever have what I'm looking for or if they do, zero brand selection. I get disgusted every time I go there so awhile back, I quit going. Last week I'm looking for 40lb propane tanks for the camper. Home depot has some online for $75 each with free shipping. Well, I throw caution to the wind and order two. Today I get one and only one. So I call and after pushing a thousand different buttons I get a human (actually spoke English! Impressive) Then the normal hold of about 20 more minutes while he tries to figure things out. Well, they only shipped one and have no more in stock so he refunded half my money and said sorry. What a way to run a railroad. I guess I'll just have to get the other one over at TSC for $25 more and chalk it up to trusting Home Depot for the last time. They are really driving that company into the ground.

I'm in the process of building a wall in the shop with quick change drywall for the purpose of punching holes into so I can relieve my pent up anger. smirk

FYI
Good tip for HD or Lowes etc.

If you are getting a piece of drywall but don't need a full sheet , like doing a repair. There is usually one on top of the pile with a broken bit or corner missing. Find an employee. They will sell you the defective sheet a lot of times for $1. They just want it gone.

Also if buying a box of nails or screws , there will be one on top patched up with tape. Find an employee , lot of times 1/2 price. Again , they just want it gone.

Just damage stuff when no one is looking then demand the discount.

Got a $700 propane fireplace sitting in my living room which is one year old.Stopped working.Got the repairman over as you can't bring it back to Lowes.$140 later it needs a new part that can't be ordered from Lowes but from the manufacturer. Called and ordered exactly what repairman wanted.Got it in the mail and $140 more dollars later it's the wrong part they sent.Im not putting anymore money into it and will buy a new one come summer.Got a full 100 pound propane tank I can't even use.On top of that having alot of problems with a maytag clothes washer bought at home depot.Again cant bring it back but did get a maytag repairman fix it for now.Darn thing has a brain in it just like vehicles now in days.

Lol.....reminds me of an episode of 'All in the family ' when Archie Bunker went shopping with Edith. He found out dented cans were marked down. He got a hammer in the market and started denting the cans in the shopping cart. It was a funny episode.

Menards is the only good home improvement store. I could spend hours wandering around there, and spend thousands of dollars.

Lol

I got a rant about them as well!

Went there for tools last week. Had 800$ worth of tools in the cart alone and I was paying cash!!!!!!!!! Had all four kids and my wife with me in the store. Went up to check out and of course only self check out was open.

1. Had to ask a group of 5 employees standing in front of check out Lane to move just so I could get to it.
2. I asked if I could get a real cashier because I was using cash. They told me machines took cash, pointed at one, then went right back to talking.
3. My wife knew I as about to loose it so she nudged me and said she would do it. So I stood there as my wife proceeded to try and give this machine 800$ in cash.
4. Machine wouldn't take one of the 20$ bills about half way into it. Machine started to say customer needs assistance. Yes, they were all still standing there talking. None came to help!
5. So I said HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about one of you come help!? No joke! They all grabbed carts that were full of merchandise and walked away. So I yelled again telling one of them to get their butt over here and help. An old man that was helping another costermer came over. Not even one of the ones who was there. He told me he whitnessesed everything and was appolagizing to both my wife and I.
6. Made him give me all my cash back which he had to call a manager up to do!
7. Then I left another full cart of crap there for the turds to put back.


I only went there because Lowe's didn't have Milwaukee. So now I'm done with Milwaukee and back to Craftsman because the is what Lowe's carries!

Funny part is that I went to Lowe's 1st and left to go to home Depot just for the Milwaukee brand! I went back to Lowe's and ended up buying all Craftsman. When I came back through the check out the same cashier was there that I talked to 1st time. She was laughing so hard she could barely ring me up.

She told me I was the 3rd one her shift come back. She also said it is getting to be an inside joke at the store and that they are picking up a lot more in retail because of it.

They are only a few blocks from each other.

Now I know why so !any carts were left full of stuff. I actually wondered why when we entered the store.
