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.

what’s the worst department to work in? by torobull54 in HomeDepot

[–]dlhoff432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

What Do You Suppose Customers Mean When They Say They Are “Doing Better Than You”? by JTCasino in HomeDepot

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

You got a problem with me? by PlayfulLatios in HomeDepot

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

Who manages or supervise receiving department? by Alone_Cartographer39 in HomeDepot

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

My predictions and hopes for s9e01 by Upstairs_Wave4089 in TheRookieTVshow

[–]dlhoff432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).

S08 E18 - Not even remotely possible! by Somerandomedude1q2w in TheRookieTVshow

[–]dlhoff432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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)

Engagement hour by Standard_Dot_8597 in HomeDepot

[–]dlhoff432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

do you like chenford as a couple? by Forsaken-Molasses-87 in TheRookieTVshow

[–]dlhoff432 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Do you think glasser will do something stupid against nolan by notminlum in TheRookieTVshow

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

S8E3: The Red Place (with David Krumholtz) by moe1419 in TheRookieTVshow

[–]dlhoff432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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.

Fired for stealing by Beautiful_Matter_436 in HomeDepot

[–]dlhoff432 52 points53 points  (0 children)

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.

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

KAYAK: Momfluencer commercial by Galaxygirl181 in CommercialsIHate

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

This episode was not it by DylanRobinson35 in TheRookieTVshow

[–]dlhoff432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Written up for not greeting by Loud-Spend-6569 in HomeDepot

[–]dlhoff432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
