You Can Do It...?

Home Depot. You can do it, and we can’t help. I can’t believe the freakin huge conglomerate called Home Depot has little or no selection when it comes the very things that made them so successful. I’m ranting about the fact that when I want to get information and pricing details on a certain band saw this freakin store only has two options. So, I go and look anyway. When I walk into the crib area there’s no one around to talk to. Shocking. Hey here’s an idea let’s put every available “Home Depot Rep” in the gardening or toilet paper section because that’s where all the people really shop anyway. After searching through the tool crib to find what I’m looking for there’s only two options. The first one is the top of the line 500 freakin dollar, 200lb saw that only a school, fab shop or a prison is going to buy. My second option? Hoping to find a step down from the hernia maker I’m hoping (and the key word here is hoping) to find a saw in the 200-250 dollar range that’s suitable for a garage. And what do you think I find? Fischer Price has invaded Home Depot. The saw is brightly colored ,plastic covered and is priced @ $98.00 and weighs in @ 90lbs! Give me a break. I guess it serves me right to think that a warehouse type franchise monster like Home Depot would want to spare the square footage to actually store tools that matter. And forget about complaining to anyone. The only way I could complain would be to go outside to the Allan block center, make my way through the manure bags, and the 400 freaking gallon planters, catch a seminar on weed eaters and hopefully (there’s that word again) talk to someone before they run off on their break or shift change or smoke break or whatever Home Depot people do when they’re not actually on the floor. Maybe I’ll go to the toilet paper section next time.
