It sucks.
From big box stores, utilities, banks, grocery stores, equipment manufactures and supply houses.
No body gives a fuck, they don't care about customer service, they don't care if what they are saying makes no sense or makes them sound like an idiot. They will lie, walk away mumbling or just plain ole ignore you if they don't know an answer.
They will change rules and regulations to fit what is best for them or for the company and not give a fuck about a customer or a consumer. It has been building and building over the last few years and something needs to change.
It's a fuck you pay me attitude.
As soon as I get my fill I will tell them to go fuck themselves and the next thing you know the cops are there to give me a lecture on how the fuck to talk to people.
Example: I went into Home "I'll Fuck Ya" Depot to buy $5000 worth of hurricane shutters at 36 months 0% financing. I go to Customer Service Desk aka "The Who Gives A Fuck Counter" at 7pm when the store is not overflowing. I politely ask if what and how I will buy is under the promotion (Flyer in my hand) and it I will also receive the no tax on hurricane supplies the state of Florida is giving for the first week of hurricane season.
The big fat sweaty woman who is trying to help told me someone else needs to look into these absurd questions. Yes she said absurd. She called some other dude over that looked at said paperwork and mumbled, I'm not sure, when we ring it up we can see at that time and he went back to his important cell phone. (probably zoning).
I was not too happy with that response so I moved on and asked if they or if someone can go to the isle and wright up everything I will need (I already knew how much and how many) but I did not know the SKEW #'S and pull the 1500 pound order for load up.
That's when the fat cunt said Now you want us to shop for you too.
I freaked and told her to go fuck yourself. Next thing I know one of Stuart's finest came over and told me that is no way to act in public. Turns out the cop is a good customer of mine and after listening to my side AND talking to the woman he told me he may have said the same thing. She told the cop that her dinner break was coming up in 5 minuets and didn't have time to shop for someone.
Everyday I get older and everyday it gets harder and harder to deal with people.

Sounds more like a fat, sweaty cunt thing.
I try to support Mom/Pops when feasible. That being said, our local The Home Depot has had excellent employee retention and the service is good. Just don't go there on the weekends (yikes).
My recent experiences with Lowes have been awful, though.
Slight tangent: Why do people like to bring their dogs into The Home Depot? I always see their dogs peeing on stuff and getting agro, and the owners thinks it's cute.

I bought a backpack from EMS
I bought a backpack from EMS a few years back with a "lifetime warranty" which I though was great because I use it every day. So one of the zippers is blown out and one of the straps is tearing and I go back to the store. With receipt in hand I ask about the lifetime warranty on my purchase and was told "well we do not use the repair shop we had before and they have to evaluate the issue before we can replace the item therefore we do not honor the "lifetime warranty anymore". I tell them "when I purchased this item the contract states there is a lifetime warranty on the product and now you are telling there is not? What good is a warranty if you change the terms to screw the customer? It's as good as not having any warranty at all."
Response: "Sorry"
I stated out loud "well fuck me and every one else who shops here, that sucks!" and the clerk shook his head in agreement. It wasn't his fault but I felt betrayed and fucked over.
What is there to do in these situations?

I don't like seeing dogs at concerts because I feel bad for them but in general I'm ok with dogs being anywhere I've never seen one in Home Depot

home depot is fairly fucked
home depot is fairly fucked up - I agree
whenever you need something - or have an important "valid" question- they're never around- or they simply simpleton don't know the answer.
I'd say about 15% of their employees know what they are doing- or give a fuck.

Can you build your own
Can you build your own affordable home if you work at Home Depot and get a discount on everything?

I am in the midst of a battle
I am in the midst of a battle with Home Depot right now over a mat to put on my deck when I BBQ. I did this on line and it got totally f'd up.
Totally ruined my weekend and most of my week. They gave me a $25 gift cert and are paying for the matt. I'm picking up it at 1PM after I meet with manager for all the time and effort I put into this minor purchase SO FAR.
I like old school hardware stores.

I never go to those big box places - just ain't worth the trouble to save a couple of bucks. We still have several "good ol' " hardware stores, so I can usually get what I need.

We just used Home Depot, partnered with Tuff-Shed, to frame up our cabin in the mountains. It was cheap and they financed it (we refinanced that to a lower rate than the offered 7%).

Is this a publicly traded company?
Once a co. goes public it no longer serves its customers, it serves its stockholders. It's all about controlling overhead, i.e. payroll.
The stock market is destroying America and the world.

They took away defined benefits pensions, how else are you supposed to retire?

They took away defined
Almost all of the defined benefit pension funds were based on unrealistic stock market returns. Still, stocks are essential to pension returns. Get rid of the stock market and pensions pretty much have no appreciable returns.

I bring my dog to the mega
I bring my dog to the mega home stores because he likes it there. Heated in Winter, A/C in Summer, large aisles, lumber to sniff.
He doesn't pee indoors and the workers like H.I.M. They don't care if I load a cart with cement bags and mush around a while.
The stuff I get there on a regular basis is Salt for the water softener. Local Agway has about the same price, so it's about who I'm passing by that day.
