I would give this store a zero star rating if it were an option.
My husband and I went to this store to buy a microwave. We knew which one we wanted and just need to go there to buy it. When we arrived, we went to the appliances section and found the microwave we wanted. There was no one working back there to ask for assistance. We waited and wandered around for almost 30 minutes before I finally took the tag from the display up to the front for assistance. The store associate named Michael said he could help and asked if we were interested in saving $100. I said that I was. He told me if I signed up for a Home Depot card, I could save $100 on my purchase. After I agreed, I signed up for a card and was approved, Michael then quickly told us that the discount would only be for $50 instead. Irritated, I figured that was better than nothing, there's always a catch. After he tried to ring up the microwave, he said he was going to give us an additional discount for our trouble. He was unable to ring up this item correctly and had to ask for assistance from a manager. Needless to say, there was no additional discount for our trouble. The manager took another 15 minutes or so to ring up the microwave and then left. When I saw the final price, I asked Michael where the $50 discount was for applying for the card. He actually frustratingly told me that the discount would not be applied to the purchase and they did not handle that side of it, that it would be discounted on the financial side when I received my first statement for the credit card I just acquired. Angry, I said fine and he then proceeded to ask me for a good review as he was trying to get a gift card as a prize. I waited for my statement from the credit card company, and when it arrived, as I suspected, there was NO discount. I was suckered and taken advantage of, lied to, and to make matters worse, there was only a 2-week period of time you could take a survey for the Home Depot website which has obviously passed. I am cancelling my card (unfortunate to have to take a credit hit because of it) and will NEVER return to this store. I was very naïve to think I could take these people at their word. Buyers beware of the store associated named MICHAEL as he is lair and a manipulative salesman who will take advantage if you give him the opportunity. There's no such thing as a free lunch!! Also, be prepared to not receive any service or help anywhere in this store. I am going to make sure and let everyone I know to stay away from this scam place and that Home Depot encourages its staff to take advantage of their customers for a chance at a gift card.
