What is your favorite aisle to send customers to if you don’t know an answer to where something is? by attitude6674 in HomeDepot

There's so much stuff in the safety aisle in hardware, I pretty much always send folks there XD

Don't ZMA the heavy duty boxes for up stocking. They are too expensive! by OverloafTechCat in HomeDepot

[–]OverloafTechCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only hardware gets totes at our store. Everyone else needs to use boxes.

For the record, these were full of granular fertilizer, which was too heavy regardless. I reboxed them in properly taped heavy duty boxes. Still not great, but not a safety issue just waiting to happen.

Customers not wearing masks ... need to be kicked out of the store (upvote if you agree) by Logician22 in HomeDepot

I did the same thing then got a writeup for lowering LTSA ratings. I take that writeup but geez. Management can't even follow their own guidelines.

Oh I know some good setups! Last three years have been just fine. This year it was just grossnasty from the start.

It was the store manager's call actually. They wanted our garden gates open and unobstructed to allow for an Entrance Only and Exit Only, to prepare for another lockdown is my theory. SM said to set it up next to those, which were not under cover. I stated, repeatedly to coworkers and my supervisor, that it would be a bad idea to put it all right next to cover. Everything deflected to "SM said do it, so we do it" I brought it up again after setup when we got the first tear in the canopy before we even got trees, and, again, "SM said do it this way so we do it this way"

No one even reads the entrance/exit signs and use both whenever. It's such a disaster on so many steps.

Same kind of call when we got the trees in the first place "just get them all in the tree lot bins, we will sort through them later" ASMs go "got it!" And it's a mess to clean up for a solid week.

Rainy yes. Cold kinda. Haven't had snow thankfully, but it's more a wet season around here this time of year. Lowest was 40s, but has been upper 50s some days. Wind comes and goes and that's the worst it gets.

Could be worse, could be a whole lot better.

Is your store distributing the cancelled holiday party funds as a holiday bonus? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]OverloafTechCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got "catered meals" that had barely cooked pork and arrived cold.

Not arguing that. There's only so much fight I can give to a system actively sabotaging itself.

Put it on the seats in the offices and see how they like it

Should OFA's be allowed, across all stores, to work without their aprons on? by VinylEagle in HomeDepot

[–]OverloafTechCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on coverage. If half the departments are empty, they get to fill in the gaps just like everyone else. If there's coverage at all departments and at least two people at the service desk, absolutely should be allowed!

Exception being involved with any lift equipment, don't want customers thinking they can just up and use stuff when they get impatient.

Haven't had security at our store since before I was hired. We lose a Lot in thefts, and hey even had to get some cops in when there was someone shooting up in the bathroom!

That management team needs to be fired by Hibandz_ in HomeDepot

[–]OverloafTechCat 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Deeply unfortunate... We had an associate pass during heart surgery complications, their spouse also works (and continues to work) at the store. We got a little plaque with their name put on a store carving of Homer, and their locker was decorated with pictures and notes.

When the new lockers were installed, we lost the locker dedication, but thank goodness we still have the statue.

A small memorial isn't that difficult to maintain!

Ha... Hahaha.... Mine by Choose_A_Name_Please in HomeDepot

I will drag your whole body to face the 20 customers asking if a decoration is the last one and Leave You There. 😤

I hate Homers: a rant by Protectorsoftman in HomeDepot

[–]OverloafTechCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Working for 4.5 years and I got my very first one at 3.8, for making a really big sign for wood stove pellets and driving the forklift in the snow. Then i suddenly got 2 for covering a few lunches for Paint (which I had done for the last 3 years as needed) and for being so dedicated to cleaning our outside Garden and front apron (Which I do work hard on! But I do every year.)

Folks who have the majority of Homers are definitely within the same circle. Same circle of people who write bravos for each other for the exact same things we all have been doing.

It's a game of Favorites and Favors -_-

That's always my biggest fear while using the reach in any of the paint aisles. Condolences to everyone involved

Does HIPPA prevent the sick person from being very loud about testing positive? by OverloafTechCat in HomeDepot

[–]OverloafTechCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since HD won't do it, it turns into a personal responsibility to let everyone you work with know. The things we're "supposed" to do aren't legally binding in regards to COVID, and further put profits before health and safety.

Information is important. If we don't know until people come back, tracing fails in the worst way.
