So a few weeks back, I posted about my Home Depot customer service and was surprised/happy with it. My wife wants to put a couple flower pots out front. Idk why flower pots cost so damn much, but they do. We go into Lowes and Home Depot to find they didn’t have what she wanted. She’s online and sees our local HD has 4 of the ones she likes. We go in and pick them up with the potting soils and the plants she wants in these things. We can’t find thes 125.00 planters anywhere! They show it’s in stock. We show a garden associate the item we want, they check and say they have 3 in stock. Cool we only need 2! So after about 15-20 (added to the time we already spent looking for this item) of the HD employee looking for it (I guess people paying 125.00 for a stupid [BLEEP] pot aren’t capable of finding it in the store and realizing it’s in a spot the forklift is needed) we’re told it is in…. Overhead and a forklift is needed! Yeah, I don’t work here and I could’ve told you that. Another 15-20 minutes go by and we desire to leave. I know my wife wants these damn things and I know for even just 40-50 minutes it’ll get her [BLEEP] outside with me so I stop the garden clerk. She too takes 5 min and says it’ll be about 35-40 minutes before a forklift operator can get it. Says, we can wait but better off ordering online for curbside pickup. Wife is more impatient than I at times. She reluctantly makes an order online for these stupid pots. We expect it to be ready by end of day. She places an order for these two pots that we (us and the employees agree are in stock and need a forklift to get). Sorry horrible grammar. She’s waiting to pick these pots up. She for whatever reason is excited. As the day goes on she finally gets an email. Your order is ready, but we canceled part of it. These [BLEEP], cancel her pot order. But send her an email saying the plants and potting soil are ready. Why the [BLEEP] do we need that without the planters?

Betcha a dollar the lift operator dropped the pots off the shelf.

IIRC, if you look items up in-store they should also tell you where the item is, but not sure if that is just for items on sales floor or items out of reach as well. Would make sense if their inventory system told them where to find the extra stock when the shelves were bare, right?

I couldn't buy my Claritin-D today because the freaking system says I bought some less than 30 days ago. That's a lie because I bought it while on vacation which was more than 30 days ago. Now my husband will have to buy it under his ID so I'm not scratching my eyes out tomorrow. I hate our freaking government. 

I shouldn't be punished because others decide to buy and use it to make illegal drugs. Asinine jackholes.

Hey, just don't cook it all this month and save some for your allergies.  

Yes, there's too much government, but at least we're not getting as much as we're paying for.

Before we left the store we knew they needed a forklift and the associate even pointed us where they were.  They cancelled the order.  Apparently they had a truck come in.  My wife actually got a couple phone calls from the customer service dept.  guy left a VM said he knew she wanted them and will hold 2 for her for 24 hours and if she needed longer to call and let them know.  Like with my shelving unit, this store seems to realize they dropped the ball and try to make up for it.  I was surprised they even cared.  My wife just called me while I was typing this.  Turns out she talked to the guy that called, got her straight to the front of the line and loaded her car for her.  Now I have to unload it. Ugh.

Whoever decided to call it “easy listening” needs their head examined.  Pretty [BLEEP] hard to listen to, if you ask me.

I dont know what I’ll use it for, but yeah…lol.  What guy doesn’t like “heavy equipment”?  You got a bobcat for sale? I might be a buyer at the right price. I could really use it when I…..

As an Ohio U grad, I hoard Bobcats.

Those aren't for sale, friend.

This is the place to buy planters and pots. Why? Because it’s where I buy mine.

Thanks, I’ll have to save this for next spring when she decides the ones we have just won’t work.

I went into Sprawlmart and needed assistance to get a piece of merchandise that is locked away. After 3 pushes of the button to summon an employee and none showed, I walked around the store and realized that about 6 people were working the entire place. That's not much of an exaggeration.

I received an email asking for updated card info from Godaddy. My bank was sold recently. Makes sense. But I have a “website” guy that handles it. Maybe I’m dumb, but I’d think this guy would not use Godaddy. Perhaps it’s easier, idk. So I ask this guy for the login credentials to update the payment. He gives them to me and they don’t work. Also in the same email he tells me he sees coding errors on every page and asks if I want to fix it. I said have at it. Well, I had to personally retrieve my login credentials since his he gave didn’t work and I shoot an email giving him updated login info. He replies back that the site hasn’t been updated or serviced in 5 years…about the same amount of time since the previous guy retired and referred this dude. Now, I don’t need an SEO company. Between word of mouth, neighbors stopping us and Angi/HomeAdvisor, I turn down more than I take. So… what the [BLEEP] have I been paying for the last five years with your annual invoice??? That site was created for 1 reason and one alone, to accept online payments.

I don’t know computers or speak html, but I feel I’m getting ripped off here. Plus I had to wait a week to get the wrong credentials after emailing the original guy that took care of it and he had to contact him in order to get the bad info. If any of y’all are in that field or know a decent person that does this [BLEEP], I’m all ears. All I need is a stupid site that looks good and up to date to take in the money. Seriously, the payments is whys it’s there. Should be no reason I pay some guy money each year for at least five years, then tell me it hasn’t been touched and out of date for some while.

My kingdom for a telehandler

Could use it in so many ways at the new job - I use a borrowed fork and scissor lift frequently, but one of these with a telescoping fork and separate bucket or work-platform attachment would be gold for me

Telehandler? I call that my ex-wife's dinner fork.
