Halloweenie is alive and well at HD
Orange Aprons rejoice!!!
Just in time for the annual Spook Festival is all us underpaid, overworked, highly ambitious Orange Apron look alikes...I often find myself, standing in front of the Halloweenie Display, face contorted, arms outstreched, trying to scare the heck out of unsuspecting passerby's.
Looking more like one of the evil, yellow toothed, grey haired old men, whom pop out regularly at young children and adults alike-from atop a display shelf, I find myself both amused and horrified.
At one side of the aisle, is the Halloween display. A mummy stands guard, high atop an...
Take it off-Conclusion
About fifteen minutes later, I spotted the elderly gentleman and his wife, as they came back out the front door of Home Depot. They immediately headed back towards the weedeater.
I watched as the old man, lifted up the machine again, some twenty minutes after his initial inspection. I focused on his movements as he swapped the weedeater end to end and inspected the line.
Finally, I couldn't stand it any longer. I left the comfort of my shade and sauntered out into the hundred degree sun to get a fix on the situation.
"Did you find a similar weedeater inside?" I asked.
"We found some...
If she takes that off....Part 2
At some point, I spotted an elderly gentelman pushing a shopping cart, his wife in tow. Opposite the tent I was in, was an open display with such things as lawn mowers, power washers and a lone weedeater.
Between giving away coupons for the Tuff Shed BBQ drawing, and watching to ensure product did not "WALK" off from the lot, I kept an eye on the interesting couple next to me.
The elderly gentleman bent down, picked up the weedeater, turned it this way and that, then turned to his wife asked her a series of questions.
"The tag says it was $89.00 but now it's listed for $59.00. Do you...
If she takes it off.....
Home Depot, Adventure #1:
The other day, while hiding...er....sitting in my self-imposed four walled cell of a Kitchen cabinet design center, I was handily dispatched...or what they called in the Air Force, "VOLUNTEERED." for a special assignment.
"Hey Pops," Bob-one of our esteemed department heads asked. How would you like to sit outside in the fresh air and get a suntan for a few hours....?"
Well...you didn't have to hit me over the head with a shovel, or ask me twice. Being an old carpenter and fisherman/hunter...I always love a chance to get outdoors. It hasn't been in my nature...
