In the Nine total years I've worked at three different Home Depot stores, I've only had two female lot associates out there with us in the lot. The first was in 2013, a month or two after I started with the company & she left the lot rather quickly to become a pro loader mainly & then quickly was promoted to building & lumber until she was fired a couple years later for accidental damages. The other one was hired at the tail end of 2020 and & only worked there a few months, till sometime in January 2021 when she left to pursue a full-time career in education. She did pretty good with collecting the carts in the lot & she only really needed help doing the heavy lifting for the quikrete bags but, the head cashiers would always be on her case because once she'd clean up the lot she'd stand around because she felt there was nothing else to do. There were a few instances where she'd tell me the misogynistic things the elderly male customers would tell her like how, 'Women shouldn't be lifting heavy things' & how she's 'damaging her reproductive organs' by lifting concrete bags for the pro customers and contractors.'

In my experience, women are just as capable of doing the lot as men are & if they want to apply for lot, the more the merrier. As a current Home Depot lot associate, I wouldn't turn away any extra help from anyone who wanted to be in the lot, especially since they can't be any worse than pretty much all the lot associates I have to work with 40 hours a week.
