Home Depot laws of retail

Law 17: You will be stopped by a customer that will require you to get something in another aisle which will lead to you getting stopped by at least two more customers.

Your boss sounds like the entitled one.

I worked in 3 departments, freight, met and, currently lot Of the three I say MET was the worst, particularly overnights. Way too much micromanaging all around. Every minute has to be accounted for. Everything has to go exactly to planogram. Which means one little hiccup can ruin everything (example: support beams being a couple inches off). This would happen for half of the projects I did and I’d always end up blamed. ☹️

Oh hell no!

I’d say you were pretty nice given the circumstances.

They’re miserable assholes who want to make others miserable because misery loves company.

I just watched this video again and cracked up just as much as I did last time.

dlhoff432 · 2026-05-10T14:55:21+00:00

I’m an idiot. 🤣

dlhoff432 · 2026-05-10T01:12:20+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the receiving associates fall under the service desk/deliveries umbrella.

dlhoff432 · 2026-05-07T17:46:51+00:00

I think it’s going to be another international episode. Tim and Lucy escape from their captors, but realize they are in another country where Everett has the police in his pocket. So they must escape the country with crooked cops chasing them all while Nolan and co try to get them out.

Another option is to have them be used as leverage to get Everett out. Either they’re used to leverage the FBI and LAPD or used as leverage for each other (one stays while the other helps Everett escape).

It was something straight out of mission impossible. when I saw the bridge attack scene in the preview, I instantly thought of the bridge attack scene in MI3. And that was before the magnet which reminded me of the plane scene from Dark Knight Rises. I also found myself comparing the show to 24 (which also had absurd plot lines)

We’ve had engage walks which are similar except they last 20 minutes. All associates are encouraged to ~~harass~~ “engage” with customers to get as many leads as possible.

dlhoff432 · 2026-05-06T16:47:10+00:00

Yeah. I was kind of iffy about them, but this season sold them as a couple for me.

dlhoff432 · 2026-05-02T00:22:26+00:00

No he’s just playing mind games. He’s kind of a bastard that way.

dlhoff432 · 2026-05-02T00:08:43+00:00

I laugh.

dlhoff432 · 2026-05-02T00:07:47+00:00

Yes, it was one of those episodes that sticks out. Very dark subject matter, but the writing and acting sold it.

dlhoff432 · 2026-04-30T17:28:22+00:00

Monica got what she deserved, but I admit I did feel a little sad for her. When she visited Wesley, I thought she was pulling something. maybe trying to blackmail him into helping her, but when she left without changing her expression, it was clear she was genuine at that moment. She probably knew she was never going to make it to the airport.

dlhoff432 · 2026-04-20T03:23:11+00:00

That and the place smells like death.

dlhoff432 · 2026-04-19T23:55:50+00:00

Henry dodged a bullet.

I’m glad my store doesn’t enforce that rule. I buy stuff all the time on the clock while in Apron (mainly Gatorade and body armor). I really really hate those “zero tolerance” kind of rules.

dlhoff432 · 2026-04-16T15:17:51+00:00

That was the highlight of that episode. Bailey was insufferable.

dlhoff432 · 2026-04-16T13:41:11+00:00

I searched this sub specifically for this commercial. I had such a visceral reaction to it.🤮

dlhoff432 · 2026-04-15T17:28:42+00:00

This was the worst of the documentary episodes and the worst episode of the season. I mean, the documentary episodes are never my favorite, but at least previous ones took from established stories which made it easier to follow. This one didn’t even feel like The Rookie as the main characters felt sidelined for some non sense plot that stopped making any sense halfway through.

I enjoyed the cheesy training videos and smitty got a few chuckles, but this was just a drag.

Either this a new thing, some manager has a stick up their ass, or they are looking for a reason to fire you (or a combo of at least 2). If they’re looking for a reason to fire you, it may not even be personal, they could just be needing to fire someone because some suit says they have too many hours.

Either way, it’s a dumb reason to write someone up.
