Home Depot v Lowe's

[PawJourney]

I contrast this with my visit to The Home Depot. Cashier lanes were closed so I had to use self-check. I was the only person so the HD employee watched me with eagle eyes never offering help. I quickly scanned my flatbed because I'd placed the barcodes face up.

$500 poorer, receipt in hand, I rolled forward. The HD employee ordered me to stop. I complied. She started pulling things off the cart.....so I decided why not help her. I drug the large bags of grass seed and topsoil off, blocking the area. Customer had come up behind me, so the HD employee was forced to open the cashier lane. Guy laughed at the situation and helped me load the trunk.

Guess if I'd bought this at Lowe's I could roll out the door without paying.

They hired her back due to the backlash. But the company policy is to NOT chase them into the parking lot. Safety thing. Look what the criminals did to her. Understandable policy, but actually firing to enforce it is a bad look.
