They have the worst customer service in the world. Everytime I go there, it is always filled with people who know nothing about the products they are supposed to be selling-that is if you can get a hold of one.
\nLast year, they were supposed to repair my husband’s chain saw that he purchased there, and was thankfully under warranty. They fixed it wrong, and when they fixed it again, they lost it. Finally they called a week after he went to pick it up, to say they found it. When he returned, they could not find it for a half hour. I have tons of HD stories like this, so it is my fault for returning there.
\nToday I had a cut and simple chore. I went to the customer service desk, and when I finally got the attention of the woman behind the counter:
\nPansy<\/b>: Hi (smiles<\/i>), do you have lye in stock?
\nCSR:<\/b>(bristles and speaks very loudly and very slowly<\/i>) IIiiii don’t know. That would be in the garden section which is mostly empty now, and I can’t guarentee it would even be there…
\nPansy:<\/b> Um, OK.(baffled…considers walking away, but just had to ask<\/i>)Why would lye be in the garden section?
\nCSR:<\/b> Lye! Lye! Isn’t that what you put in a garden?
\nPansy:<\/b> (Even more baffled, and resists the urge to say “no, you are thinking of lime<\/u> which is calcium chloride, I am looking for lye<\/u> which is sodium hydroxide” but figured I would sound like a smart ass, because if I said that, my purpose would to be a smart ass…<\/i>)No, it is what you pour down a drain…
\nCSR:<\/b> Well Honey, what you are looking for is (long, and slowly again<\/i>) draaaaiiinnnn cleeaaner<\/u>(at this point, the woman thinks I am nuts for wanting to put calcium chloride down my drains…<\/i>). That would be in the “plumbing” section.
\n(Incidentally, I looked down the wrong aisle in the plumbing section, but with my husband’s aid, not the CSR’s I did find the right aisle.)
