I know a boomer that refuses to shop there. Will pay more for the same item across the street at Lowe's.

He despises Trump and loves Biden too.

True story.

Really? Boomers are so cheap you'd think the boomer would be going to the cheapest place? Most millennials won't shop in bj's cause of something about them being non union.

Re: Home Depot plunges after worst revenue miss in 20 years
The Lowes in Martinsburg West Virginia was running store announcements in Spanish a couple weeks. Seemed to be 70% Spanish, then some English.
This town isnt know for a large Hispanic pop, so i dont get the purpose.
Maybe the store announcements were to hire spanish speaking employees, to be ready for Traitor Joes big invite.

Re: Home Depot plunges after worst revenue miss in 20 years
Not surprised at all. I boycotted Home Depot a long time ago, it was just too difficult to get any help, bunch of lazy asses working there.

I was always told they don't have the thing I was looking for. When I said I looked on their website and it said they had a million of that thing, got the same answer every time, you must have the wrong store.

So I started printing the page from their website (before I had a cell phone) and then it was just a different excuse. I asked for help from the manager once because nobody else was interested, and the floor person got snippy with him! In a whiny voice, "yeah we have that but I'll have to go dig through the warehouse". Manager says better get going then.

Once I asked where the yardsticks were and not one person had a clue what I was talking about and suggested I go to Staples.

Just how bad things are financially won't be accepted by the masses for another 2-3 months (just a month or two after the new Federal Reserver FedNow digital currency is put into service).

Then it'll be a catastrophic dive to the bottom.

No it won't. It's just the same old crap. Part of Home Depots problem is they sell poor quality items. Wayfair and Loews and Amazon is way better. HD can't compete on line. If you can't compete on line you're done for.

Amen to that! They don't know a yardstick from a hole in the ground. Never go there with questions.

I'm referring to the economy as a whole.

HD is a small ripple in the upcoming tidal wave of woes.

Home prices are dropping like a rock throughout much of the country, the government is out of money, inflation is out of control, and we're dancing with the very real possibility of WW3 with China and Russia.

Things are NOT looking good.

Temu has cheaper prices than even Harbor Freight. Been making tool bags for the young men in my family.

Orders take ten days. Since Temu was in the Superbowl ad, theyve been taking a lot of business away for sure

meh just means time to buy, when I left Home Depot 16 years ago the stock was 42 a share now it's 288
I am not cashing out any time soon
 Quoting: wattsun


shit...that's a long time but i would think about cashing out here lol. nobody owns their houses to even need to go to home depot
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83752837


I don't think Home Depot is crashing and burning anytime soon, One Giant hurricane and it will level out.
Although I may get when after my daughter graduates.
A lot of folks including myself have been waiting for lumber to drop so I might be able to finally afford to repair my deck.

I did learn a lot about commodities and markets working there. They really only make money on the Chinese crap they push. The markup on that is insane
Ran about every dept then went into Asst Mgr position but once they cut bonuses it was not worth it.
I ended up getting a better-paying job in IT Engineering right out of the gate.
 Quoting: wattsun


Yes, I have projects on hold too. Prices are crazy and quality is low.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85437888


Had no choice but to fix a deck. Had to buy the lumber from a local lumber yard. It cost three times more than the wood we bought last year and it really hurt to have to spend that money but, we didn't want someone to get hurt walking on it.

This makes sense.


I spend alot of money at Home Depot. The one in my rural area is actually one of the best hardware stores I've ever been to and I usually don't like Home Depots.

Anyway the store manager has been coming out and greeting his big ticket customers offering free deliveries, free hot dogs and sodas, and even said I could come in before they open and shop before the store opens to the public.

I'm sure I'm not the only one he offered it too.

Yep, Lowes is libtarded pedo lover heaven.

They are in process to covert their workforce to 50% women, and 50% (or more) LGBTQ, and 50% (or more) black/Hispanic.

The good news is that corporate report cites statistics saying that the US workforce is still 63% white.
