Dear Home Depot,
I never thought this would happen to me.
I went into your store the other day looking for a cashier, but couldn’t find one. They’d been replaced by self-serve checkout machines. You know the kind. The ones that can’t read my card when I swipe it, forcing me to go on a search for the cashier you replaced them with? Talk about a Catch-22 kick in the nuts, huh. Anyway, by the time I did find one, she had to start all over and ring me up the old-fashioned way. Awesome. You guys rock and I hope you keep up the groundbreaking innovations, like, having just one cashier open in the garden center–on weekends.
Speaking of gardening pros, where ever did you find that talented staff. The ones who told me to buy holly bushes because “deer won’t touch it.” Guess they didn’t get the message because Bambi’s evil clan went through that shit like it was dollar draft and .50¢ wing night. Oh, and if you could do something about that pesky two feet of space around the aisles out there, that’d be cool. Nothing better than having the skin ripped off your leg by the dickwad pushing the giant lumber cart through the
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Skinless in Seattle.

I gladly pay the local hardware store the small fortune they demand so as to avoid Home Depot. For all the reasons you mention. And the surly unhelpful cashiers.
Aw, toad, that actually really hurts. I work as a cashier at home depot, and I try to keep a smile on my face ALL DAY LONG, and be as friendly as possible. And you know what? No matter how nice and helpful I am, I have to put up with assholes who scream, insult, and ignore you. People who refuse to answer questions about how their day was. Cashiers put up with 8 full hours of bad language, abuse, and plain 'ole rudeness, and I think most of us try our best to be nice all the same.
So if a cashier looks surly - try being friendly, and they might perk up and be friendly back. Maybe they just had some jerkoff customer throw something at them (it happens all the time.) and just need a little kindness.
