The Corner

Home Depot Hell

This darn place is going to the dogs. As if the aisle-closing business

wasn’t bad enough, I have now encountered a new annoyance.

The Home Depot has introduced self-check-out stations. Fair enough, and a

convenience, if you have just small items & no complications. However,

there are now situations — I just encountered my second — where Home Depot

employees apparently feel that the self-check-out business relieves them of

the need to man check-out stations altogether. If for some reason you can’t

check yourself out, there may be no regular check-out stations manned.

(Personned, whatever.)

I gotta stop using this store.
