Home Depot / Lowe’s employees
Robots will be first deployed in these stores in combination with the app. The app is more helpful than the staff.
I know first world problems.

That place hasn't been the same since Damone quitjecornel said:The floor and register staff hate answering any questions and rarely have an answer. You can feel their disdain when asking a quick question. It’s literally crazy. Have some pride. Take 10 minutes a day for a week and learn the store. Even ordering for will call causes mass confusion.

Dallas burb staff still very friendly and helpful

Both suck, but Lowes is far worse. They are always missing or out of the one important thing I need. ACE IS THE PLACE.

I thought this thread was going to be about me

Lowe's is where dudes who don't actually know how to use the tools they are buying go. Home Depot is for legit trades dudes. True Value and Ace are for OGs. Fight me.

I go to ACE. Maybe it's 10 percent more but I don't have to walk 13 miles around a 50,000 square foot store. If I were in a trade I'd probably go to the big box stores for the cost though

All true, and a DoItCenter (lulz) better than all.Swaye said:Lowe's is where dudes who don't actually know how to use the tools they are buying go. Home Depot is for legit trades dudes. True Value and Ace are for OGs. Fight me.

My dads had an account at Lumbermen's back in the day. I would go down there, tell them what I wanted at the counter, they'd give me a slip of paper, and I'd pull through the warehouse and start loading up sacks of cement, lengths of galvanized pipe, rolls of pvc pipe, pieces of rebar - and they'd just get out of the way and check the slip on the way out. You could also buy a 1/4 pound, or a whole box of 16 penny vinyl coated nails, or drywall screws, or roofing nails - not some fucking little box that either has way more or way less than you need in there.
They didn't have 78 employees, but the half dozen they had on the floor all knew their asses from a hole in the ground. Henry Bacon also used to be a pretty good place to go. They had a store in Bellevue, and I'd see donkeys in BMWs pulling out of there with a sheet of plywood on the roof. Yeah dude - you'll make it home fine! lol
I like Ace, but it's a tough market to exist in right now. I hope they can hang in there with the big box stores. Lowe's and Home Depot are both way fucking behind what Lumbermen's and Henry Bacon were. Low prices, sure, but the inventory is largely garbage. If I brought shit like that home back in the day, my old man would have said "Fuck that shit - take it back and get a better one!" He's struggling with the way the world is today. Like Race is.

Nice post. Honest and full of actual facts. I'm assuming you stopped drinking and using the meth. Keep up the good work. We are rooting for your continued sobriety.dflea said:My dads had an account at Lumbermen's back in the day.
