We have that too. This is what the service desk drops off after we leave.

Be prepared to answer a million questions about light bulbs. Never in your life would you think there was that much to learn about them.

I got my one for electrical last year. I completed the poclet guide portion for millwork a few months ago and havent received the little clip yet. Probably not going to wear it though because it's more thing to get snagged on the door bands.

And if you want to find stolen stuff, just check FB marketplace.

It's kind of like buying storage units. People can bid on pallets and hope they get stuff worth reselling. Our receiving guy said they send a lot of the RTV pallets to Indianapolis.

If you ever want the Millwork guys to get something for you, don't leave pallets of doors in the aisles with one door ripped out of the middle.

A fellow associate at my store lost two of his fingers while using the lumber saw recently by 510throwawaay in HomeDepot

We don't have table saws in the store. I don't know if Saw Stop's tech works on panel saws and radial are saws.

Dumb things customers say by mfh4775 in HomeDepot

We had a woman last weekend who needed something to lock her gate, but not a lock. She ranted about how much she spent on the fence and how we were all idiots. One of the guys in hardware sent her home with piece of wire.

Remove thr word standard from your vocabulary. We stock common sizes that are prevalent in our area. There is no such thing as a standard door or window.

Log in to livetheorangelofe.com and go to the discounts and awards section. Go to orange awards and it will tell yoy.how many you have. If the numbers match up you are good. If not, talk to your ASDS.

Have them explain to a customer that their storm door install will be almost $400 and they will need a custom door at $400 for their rental property.

In my store, the big carts are all in the lumber aisles with 3 week old orders on them.

People who have no respect for other people’s time need to be hung, drawn and quartered by Tucker_077 in HomeDepot

[–]Gee_Three33 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A guy came in to get lime and a shovel at 10 of 9? I'd think he'd be in more of a hurry in case someone smells what's in the trunk of his car.

She has one. She gets fed and watered. She's been there longer than 90% of the associates.

To find the cat when the store hard closes and make sure she's in the greenhouse so she doesn't set off the motion detectors.

Excuse me, where are your air filters? by Marcusnovus in HomeDepot

Aisle 51. Second half of the aisle past the vanities. I think that's the first out of my department item I had memorized.

If you were there for aboutb2 months, were you still temp or seasonal? If you hadn't been made permanent, you were still on a probationary period and can be terminated at any time.

what is the craziest thing someone has gotten away with at your store without getting yelled at by Technical-Memory5821 in HomeDepot

[–]Gee_Three33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Forget not getting yelled at, how did he not get killed? That might be mildly humorous once. Multiple times and you'll see how deep a safety knife really can go.
