Not the: WHINY-WANNA-BE... I used to work at HD, don't like the politics there...so instead of WHINING - I quit! As far as HD's status in the hardware industry, it doesn't get any better...quit you're crying and hire someone if you don't like the service. ITS A HARDWARE STORE...not a restaurant! Home Depot is mostly geared toward the:
DO-IT-YOURSELFER…

I used to work at HD, don’t like the politics there…so instead of WHINING – I quit! As far as HD’s status in the hardware industry, it doesn’t get any better…quit you’re crying and hire someone if you don’t like the service. ITS A HARDWARE STORE…not a restaurant!

If you need assistance in a certain department, you have difficulty finding an "associate", yet there is an abundance of "orange garbed" employees walking back and forth at the front of the store with their painted on smiles and rehearsed greetings. Meanwhile, if you ask them for assistance, the pat answer is " there is an associate in that department". As well, only 1 or 2 cash registers are open, and the "sheep, er customers" are duly lined up. You may also want to check the comments etc. on the "Better Investing Forum" as well as the link to the New York Times article regarding the obscene executive compensation doled out even while the stock is in a downtrend.

Emotion is an evil thing when it affects your investment decisions. If that was typical experience and not just at one store then it might be something to consider. However, going through the experience you had would definately make me choose to shop elsewhere. Not buying a company's products or services is probably the best way to show displeasure and/or make the business change their service.
