Everyone's got a favorite, right? Today I heard someone talking about how wonderful Home Depot was and I just had to set the record straight!
Let's get right to the heart of the matter..........I vote for LOWE'S!
First, let's just talk colors......ORANGE? Really! Not a real classy color in my opinion - makes me want to hurt myself.. Blue - soothing AND classy. (It's a chick thing, guys)
Moving on to points with more substance. Know what happens when I go to Home Depot?
I walk in and yell, "Yoooo Hoooo"..."Helllllloooooooo"..."Anyone home?"...uh-umm,
"Could I get some help over here anytime this century?"
Eventually I find someone - they are usually very grumpy and put out that they have to help me. Why? I think I'm nice, patient, usually have a legitimate need AND money. It doesn't matter though.......they're scary mean - like they would rather be having chemo. (I think it's because they have to wear an orange smock, but then that's just my opinion)
I usually leave Home Depot feeling like a stupid female and that makes me grumpy.
However, Lowe's is a different situation. It's crawling with help and I've never gotten help from anyone who wasn't kind and patient with me. Why write a blog about it? Don't know really....I guess it's because I've lived at Lowe's the last few months. I've been there so much I'm almost embarassed. I worry that the staff at Lowe's is going to sigh and say "Her AGAIN?!" the next time they see me walking down the aisle. Hasn't happened yet though.
So, go to Lowe's. Tell Home Depot to stuff it. Best Lowe's location? (And trust me, I've been to all of them) McAlester Lowe's........great, kind people. A few, I wish were my friends as psychotic as that sounds. (I know, I need to get out more often)
Thank you Lowe's for making my first home buying/improvement project (which has been a NIGHTMARE) tolerable.
IF I get into my house, I will post before and after pics of my house. Everything you will see is from Lowe's.
I think they should hire me in marketing, what do you think? I'd wear a blue smock anyday!

I occasionally frequent Home Depot, but it took years for me to be able to do it, because when I worked in Customer Service at Seabrook Wallcoverings, I had to deal with Home Depot a lot. They NEVER knew what they were talking about, and, as you have mentioned, they were ALWAYS rude!! One of my co-workers drew a cartoon of one of their workers with a sign above her head that said, "Home Dippo." She distributed them, and we ALL had a copy hanging in our cubicles!!
Home Dippo...that is about right. Love it! Thanks!
AMEN SISTER! and I do mean sister. :) Its the staunchwomans sister...lemonhead. Ha Ha Ha! Home Depot SUCKS! I have had only one good experience and it was only because she got me a credit card...I am sure of it.
Maybe it is really Home of De Pot. And all of the employees are ex pot smokers and they get some great deal from the government for hiring them.
LOVE YA!
