		<description>That's jacked up, yo. I will continue to shop at HOME Depot just to spite them. Maybe I should make a shirt that reads "Flagrant Vagina!"

Then again, someone might think that it said "Fragrant Vagina," and that would just be weird. Maybe I should just go to Lowe's.</description>

		<description>I know this isn't the focus of your post, but I wish they would abandon the orange color scheme. It's really ugly. I would prefer that it *not* be pink, but I guess I'm being picky here. :)

Adding an accent color, such as navy blue, alongside the orange might help, too. Oh, wow, maybe I am evolving right into the "Her Depot" secondary demographic. LOL</description>

		<description>A comment left in someone's LJ regarding this very thing. (Please note, this is a reflection of my Home Depot experience.)

I'd like to take Home Depot's marketing people and hit them on their collective heads with a cricket bat and then sit them down and say, "Listen here, fellas! (And, call me sexist, but I'm betting most of them *are* fellas!) You want customers? Give them some f*cking customer service!!! You know that OSH commercial where the woman is in there, trying to get some help, driving the forklift herself, dragging her cart around in an empty 'warehouse store' (which looks like every Home Depot I've ever been in), hopping over the counter and checking herself out? Wanna know why that commercial is so effective it has weekend DIYers nodding their heads so hard their teeth are clacking? Learn from that!! That's your problem!! YOU HAVE NO F*CKING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!. Ahem. We don't need any twee, 'Home Depot for Women', let's make it all soft and clean and shiny for the girls. Just have a few people in the store who are trained to ask people if they need help, and can actually answer a question, and who have a modicum of knowledge of what they are selling. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt if, say, when you sell something like Pergo flooring, you actually carry the matching baseboard. I know, *gasp*, what a concept, but, hey, maybe if the company got rid of all you college-miseducated suits and hired a couple of actual customers to tell them how to cater to customers, Lowe's (which, by the way, has really good customer service) wouldn't be kicking your ass back and forth across the street."</description>
