The absolute worst place going right now. Out of the two Home Depots and two Lowes between Stroudsburg and Easton, this one is the worst.
First I had to search the parking lot for a cart for plywood boards. I get the cart and go inside with some moulding I needed to return. I skipped that line because it was out the door and into the parking lot due to only 2 people working the returns.
I needed one plywood board to be cut down and had to search the store for someone to help. The 100 year old guy I find puts the board up to the saw to be cut and walks away. I stood there for about 3 minutes staring as he walked away, so i decided to walk away and continue shopping. I go back to the board and he has the nerve to give me attitude asking me where I went...Then the guy mumbles, "mark the board"...What??? Where??? What do mean??? He says tell him where to cut. I said, "I asked to take 2 feet off, you have the measuring tape." He gives me attitude again as he pulls out the tape in mid air (must be using some really old way of measuring). I asked for him to put the tape against the board then I will mark the board. After that 20 minutes waste of time I head over to the moulding aisle which they had blocked off with one customer looking at moulding. I asked the home depot worker (shocking to see one that available) if the aisle was for one customer at a time. Perhaps this was another stupid covid rule, but it was more sarcasm than a serious question. He said no, and that he didn't know someone was in the aisle. He said it was closed off because a forklift was being used in the next aisle over. After about 5 minutes I walk over to the aisle to see what could be taking so long, since the home deport worker said it would take 30 secs, and I see a guy who must've been 150. He had two stacks of lumber on the forks of a forklift which he took down from top shelf, set on floor, took one stack and set aside and the other stack he put at a lower level. This whole process took nearly 10 minutes. Aside from taking the stacks down I could have moved the stacks piece by piece faster than this turtle did with the forklift. Then I head outside to the garden section where another rocket scientist that works in this hell hole told me would be where I would find what I was looking for, only to find out from the guy outside to say what I was looking for was inside. I'm done...it didn't matter that I had more to buy, I was leaving. I took another pass by returns which did not look the line moved. I'm sure it did but the line was still out to the parking lot. So I trek on down to the opposite end of the store because I refuse to do self checkout since I believe in going to the person getting paid, and because I think self checkouts should give an automatic discount since an employee is not paid, and you do all the work. As I get to the other side of the building ONLY ONE person is working a cash register. This person was not as old as the other two, but close, and just as slow. Needless to say there was a line of about 7 customers...I almost fell asleep standing up...twice, since this wait was close to 15 minutes. I stated a lot of estimated times but it took close to 1 1/2 hours to buy one board of plywood, a couple pieces of moulding, and a barbecue cover. How this place stays in business is beyond me. And why anyone shops there is just as amazing. read more
