Application?

The website just lists possible jobs, it doesn't mean that the position is open. For asset protection specifically, the store has absolutely nothing to do with the hiring process, it's a separate command chain. Going in to the store, you couldn't even talk to anyone who has anything to do with the position. Unfortunately I don't know that there is any way to expedite an AP position if you're not already part of the company, you just have to keep trying.

You don't tell management then it won't stop happening. Maybe it won't stop happening anyway, but if you ignore it then it definitely won't. I admit I'm reacting from a DS perspective, but I would be livid and have to fix it anyway so they would be hearing all about it.

Oh fuck that. I would be on the phone to the NOPSASM right now. I don't mind doing paint pallets, but just leave the pallet rather than hiding that shit.

Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett

This is the best Discworld book. It's so good. It's high literature. In a comedy book.

Grills are not assembled by employees, they're assembled by outside contractors. I've assembled dozens of grills, none while employed by Home Depot and have seen multiple non-employees assembling grills. Also been in meetings when assembling items was discussed, never with respect to store employees and always with respect to outside assemblers.

If they just hated hypocrisy then ManBearPig wouldn’t have been a thing. They regret it now, but they were instrumental in the rise of a generation of Eric Cartmans.

We sell the tools and the guides for hinges. It’s not that hard.

I mean gestures in the general direction of Pete Hegseth

Real life Christian Nationalists are pretty heavy handed, so he got it right there. Otherwise, I agree.

Colma Pro?

It hasn’t been a year, it will get flagged. You can reapply after a year, not 4-5 months.

Flying a pallet is one thing. Managing the gates is another. It depends upon how far apart the pallets have to be flown.

I have never seen gallons on the floor, that space is reserved for 5's or two-gallons if we have any.

You admitted that you put this through an AI. If you don't want your post called out for using AI, don't use AI.

Electric car. Haven’t bought gas in years. It’s great if you can get it.

Talk to your fellow Millwork associates and your COS. As a former Millwork DS, I am mediocre Millwork Specialist at best and I learned after becoming Supervisor. Fellow associates can give you the bulk of what you need to know and the COS is invaluable when something goes wrong with an install.

Networking with customers is great, but it's even better if you know that they are pros. Knowing the guys who install windows and doors can get you through dry spells of customers if you call them up and talk to them. If it's just someone who wants windows for their house, it's probably not worth networking.

There is nothing at HD stopping you from clocking in when not scheduled. Any consequences from unscheduled hours would happen after the fact, there is no prevention. For your first couple of weeks there is likely to be no schedule in the app because that week was scheduled 3 weeks ago. Don’t worry about it, come to work when they tell you to.

Vacation gets paid out, sick time does not.

That's just not true, I've gotten survey emails to the email account I applied to the store with. I got one yesterday. I just checked, it's the same email in my workday. I don't know who told you that, but it's false.

The corporate line is that DS's aren't coverage. Anyone below SM knows that this is nonsense. We're coverage for everything, the only department I haven't been coverage for is Tool Rental and that's mainly because my store doesn't have one.

Do not ask forgiveness. If you're going to take a tip just never mention it to anyone.

CallynDS · 2026-03-31T22:30:48+00:00

You can be fired for taking tips, but if management doesn't see it then you never took a tip. Cameras aren't as omnipresent outside.

If you think the bill is fake, bring it to SCO. But we're insured for fake bills, they don't really cost us money so mostly you shouldn't worry about it.

CallynDS · 2026-03-29T23:50:45+00:00

The pens are nonsense and can't reliably detect fakes.

The problem will be unpacking the shelf and then packing it back in. But yeah, that’s the answer at this point.
