The Home Depot

Just locked the door on me at 9:50 and said your closed?!! Posted store hours are until 10:00. Just because you want to go home don’t mean you can interrupt normal store business hours! I had one item to buy…

Sure glad I went to get my project supplies at this store. I didn’t have my plan ready but, when I explained it to an employee he lead me straight to the solution. Big thanks to Mike B.

Good place for garden and home supplies. The prices are decent. Staff is friendly. They could be a little more knowledgeable in the garden department about their stock. When it really busy they could be staffed a little better in the garden section. Store location is right in the middle of a shopping plaza. Not the best location for loading cars. Area is very congested.

I’ve been to plenty a Home Depot in my day. I’m from Atlanta– just like them! Goodgrief– that reminds me that their head honcho just did some really crappy stuff back in the ATL and I probably shouldn’t shop there anymore anyway. I’ll save my politics for later, though. SO– I’m at Home Depot. I needed some boxes because I’m moving (yeh, I swore I’d never pay for boxes but stores crush those things before you can get them!) and I know Home Depot sells them for a decent price.
I stopped by the other day after running some errands, and; mind you this was not anywhere close to closing time. I know when it gets close to closing time people just want to go home! I’ve been there– don’t go into stores when they’re about to close people. Don’t do it!
Unlike some hardware stores that have a store layout by the entrance Home Depot does not. They should especially considering that if you’re female in Home Depot you may have to do some serious work to get some assistance. This has happened to me far too many times to count since moving to OH. It really makes me miss the Atlanta store in Midtown on Ponce de Leon.
My observations have been that if fully staffed they might have a woman working up at the front near the door and then working as cashiers as well as in the decorating and home renovation center in the back. And maybe the garden center as well. I overheard a woman stepping outside saying that someone had made the schedule for the week who doesn’t usually and that she’d been there without a break since noon and was supposed to close (gladly she was headed out on break then around 7−8pm). At least that partially explained why no one was helping me. But not really.
I’ve become the jerk that yells, «Hey! Hey Mister!» — I don’t yell! I yell for some dude in an orange apron to help me. Really just to direct me. When I’m schlepping the giant boxes they’re not even looking my way as a pair of orange apron dudes walks by me. I might have bought more but they hadn’t restocked the shelf so I was having to do some crazy lifting. The store itself is a nice size and has everything indoors for the most part (I understand that’s better for the environment because of chemicals during run off following rain?).
If you really need to go to Home Depot I suggest you head to 10 800 Brookpark Rd, Cleveland, OH 44 130 and they’re far better at customer service than I think just about any other Home Depot I’ve been to in the area.

This is a great HD — extremely big, but a wonderful and well-​trained staff. The associate in appliances was super-​helpful, he even pulled out the freezer we were looking at so we could measure and figure out if we could get it down our stairs.
