I needed a nut splitter, it's uncommon but not really. The only place in the major metro area that has one is a single Lowes that happens to be close enough it's not a bad drive. I order online for pickup, get there and....

They still have giant plexiglass shields up over all the desks, and they're covered with fall decorations. I can't see or hear the person I'm talking to. Lots of diapers, so they must still be terrified. I manage to convince them I have an order, and they go what's the order number. I say it's for me and hand them my ID. Well, turns out they can't locate the order unless you give them a phone number, or have the order number. Their systems are so obsolete they can't search by name. I say I just put garbage in the phone field, I don't even know my own number. Mind = blown, and the drone locks up for a second. Who the hell gives out phone numbers these days? I dig through email and fortunately the server hasn't purged yet and it's there in the trash. I finally get my tool. This is after waiting behind a guy that was trying to do something, all I could hear was part numbers didn't match, and some old fuck that wanted to pay his credit card? bill with a paper check. Go fucking die, old man.

I want to buy a couple of other related items while I'm there, so I have them on the desk and I say "I want to purchase these as well." "Do you have a receipt for them?" Uh, no, I just told you I want to buy them, what part of that did you not understand? Drone lockup again, then oh you want to buy them. I make the purchase and leave as quickly as possible. It would have been quicker to just go in and get the parts and leave.

Paper checks backing up lines everywhere lol.

Paper checks need to die. Now. Since Moshe is scared, you should use cash instead. Or trade when possible.

when the EMP nuke will hit, paper will still work

you want a plan B, do you ?

[–] • 1 pt

Paper checks rely on a clearinghouse to do their work. The manual backend is gone, so when the EMP hits, checks will be as worthless as credit cards.

No "BustaNut" jokes, OK, guys? We're more mature than that, just, don't go there... m'kay?

t would have been quicker to just go in and get the parts and leave.

That has been my experience, after verifying that they have it in stock, noting the aisle and bay #s, all on line. Walk in, go straight to what you want, grab it, cash out ... no idiot discussions.

what race were the employees?

[–] • 2 pts

White. No niggers in this one.

shame on the idiot Whites

It wasn't really their fault, it's Lowe's fault for not having a system that was built in the 20th century.

I went to home Depot looking for a replacement pneumatic screen door closer. Not only did they not know where they were (not with the screen doors) they acted like they had never heard of such a thing. I finally found it on another aisle totally unrelated while looking for something else.

Homeless Despot didn't even list the tool I needed. They have video splitters, staple removers, nutcrackers (christmas decorations,) drywall screw setters, nutdrivers...

These stores are full of stupid.

Auto parts stores have nut splitters, common item. Not really a home repair tool..

[–] • 0 pt

Yes. That was pointed out, I didn't even think of it at the time. I guess I'm weird in what tools I need.

[–] • 2 pts

Hold on. YOU FOUND AN EMPLOYEE AT HOME DEPOT TO ACTUALLY TALK TO?

The problem is when someone becomes competent with running their department, they are then promoted out of the department, and replaced with someone new who knows nothing at all.

The result is you are lucky if you can find a single employee in the entire store who knows what they are doing.

This adds adventure to your shopping experience.

A classic example of why I buy EVERYTHING online. Once a week I get a gallon of milk from the gas station.

[–] • 0 pt

I've found I don't buy as much online as I used to. Prices don't seem to be as competitive as they used to be, unless it's something specialized I can't get anywhere else.

[–] • 1 pt

I don't care about prices, I care about not having to go to stores to interact with incompetent people and niggers.

Try auto stores.

That's a good point. I did get what I needed, but I need a set of multiple sizes. Will check around next week.

Yeah I feel for you man, i really do because it's the same thing where I live, especially with the non-white people. I always have to repeat myself or they don't understand what I said or they repeat the exact opposite of what I said. Fuck me. I mean I understand if the person is doing 3 things at once but these retards are looking at you and can't remember what you said 4 words ago.

I think I may be an angry old man, but I've noticed that the youngest generation in the workforce seems to have an attention span about 1 TikTok long, and it's not enough to gather details and act upon your request.

I needed a new culvert to cross the road ditch at the end of my driveway. The creature at the service desk, who got her job through a program devised by the US Supreme Court, had never heard of a culvert; didn’t know what it was.
