Default Highland Road Home Depot

In Baton Rouge

Is a bunch of **** washes!!

Last night I went to the one in the hood on Airline and saw a little starter compressor setup for $279. Came with a paint gun and some other air tools. Well The boat Im getting built will need to get painted, and I figured I could do it myself and cover the cost of the compressor and get a new toy
Well My new weed eater sucked, so I took it back to Lowes and got a Husky instead, and looked at their compressors. They didnt have as good of a deal, so I went to the closest Home Popot they had the same compressor rig as the one in the hood, but it was $299. They said they would match a competitor, but not another Home Depot. WTF. I called the manager, and the 1800 number and they can all lick my sac. Guess Ill be going to Lowes or any other Home Depot from now on.

All over $20. Since they wouldnt match the $20 cheaper price, they lost a bunch of sales from me.

Corporate BS. Customer service is all but gone in most places.

They don't care about the single customer. You gotta get mass sales down with your rant and neer allow the home depot rage end within you.

It is probably a blessing in disguise Matt! I got a 30gal Husky compressor from HD for Christmas last year. The specs on paper are as good as the Craftsman I was looking at but it damn sure dosnt perform to spec. They are CHEAP compressors and I will eventually be upgrading to a 50gal Craftsman in the future.

There is a store in the Midwest named Menard's, words cant describe how much I wish that I had one close. Now that I live in FL I have no choice but to go to Home Depot or Lowe's and its like they don't even care about the costumer, half of there products suck, customer service doesn't exist and the prices are high. I flat out wont buy anything from Lowe's anymore and I'm getting close to boycotting Home Depot too.
Lets Burn these Motha *****'s DOWN! lol!
