When I went USA 🇺🇸 in 1999, when USA 🇺🇸 was at its all time peak 🗻 from Pakistan 🇵🇰 a third world country at that time ⌚, I found home depot to be mini America 🇺🇸. Every thing you wanted to know how America 🇺🇸 and American people became the world 🗺 most powerful nation. ANSWER was home depot, It was the people who built a nation, not governments. ❤ Americans 🇺🇸 are perfectionist and to achieve perfection you have to do it yourself.

Worst service inside the store though

My son an Afghanistan war vet got hired at one. He's in 3rd year medical school but home depot allows him to work when he can.

I own two homes and had to buy a new sink, faucet and garbage disposal for the kitchen. All bought at home depot and installed by me in 3 hours!

What? No mention of the 12ft skeleton?!

I was overworked, exploited, harassed and abused by the Home depot management team on 23rd Street in NYC. The Human Rights division followed up my complaints and found that I was right and tge Supervisors resposible were fired however I have never been compensated by Home depot. Years later my incident of filing reports, there was a murder suicide by an employee who shot his supervisor in that same store sadly in the lighting department. I know this store management needs to be held accountable for a lot of problems they cause especially against me when I received a lot of great recommendations through the Voice of the Customer website by Home Depot.

Gotta love Craig Menear and his hard work

bs all that free money the government handed out

"Carly the carpenter" LOL

Lowes oven

Lowes over

HD is my second home when I fix/repair my fixer upper. I wished they let me sleep in my favorite sections - lights and gardening 😁

God I love that song. Home Depot keeps spinning up new jingles for 20 years

So this is IKEA of USA

I would like to know why this "largest Home-Improvement Retailer" doesn't have American citizens doing their installation work. I just wanted to have some tile placed in my bathroom and they cannot provide me with 2 English speaking workers to do it. So, is that how they got their reputation as being the largest retailer? With cheap labor?

"Over 2300 stores in north america" while showing only stores in the US. Typical.

Home Depot seems to be a good place to work, at my local store I can think of at least four employees that have been there 20 plus years, they are almost always upbeat and happy to help, I miss the coffee since the scamdemic hit

"try" is key word.

My dad is a GC and it’s wild to me that any homedepot within a 20 mile radius (15 stores) there is always a couple employees that approach him to just have a conversation. I think this is a big aspect a lot of people miss. Employees know their pro customers on a personal level, my father doesn’t have many friends outside of work & I think their are many old school family man immigrant GCs like him. That being said for any bulk purchase he has wholesalers to go to, homedepot mostly for tools and small items.

HD is the same !!!! Americans need to travel and see the world lol
they still live in 80s 😂

Menards is better

"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

If a contractor you hired gets all of their main materials at home depot, do look for another contractor.

The dangerous thing about HD or Lowe’s is the mediocre quality components they sell leading an entire generation to think that this is all that is available to the consumer.
Go visit a true electrical supply or plumbing house.
If you need barely good enough, the big box is for you.

Menards over Home Depot

Menards is king in the midwest

I believe you have it a bit wrong on why the pro sales have increased. They are not cheaper than specific suppliers, but are larger and have the material. The issue with the supply chain is why HD grew this base. Homes are being built out of HD because it’s the only place you can get material, not for any other reason.

Thanks for God Heavenly Father Jesus Christ Joseph and Mary Blessings United States of America vs Viet Nam Cong Hoa Country today.

What bothered me the most in the "early morning" Home Depot ad is that some of them chose to park at the far end of the parking lot even tho it's completely empty

As a pro myself (house flipper) I choose Home Depot over all others.

For a professional, home depot beats Lowe's hands down.

The economics? They charge customers a lot and in many parts of the country a customer has little choice. $$$ mo' money. Mo' money

Can’t seem to pay the employees Jack s

Isn’t it clear how they became successful…by stuffing their shelves full of cheap Chinese products and undercutting smaller rivals? Like Walmart. We need a video for this?

CONSUMER HARDWARE STORES WOOD SUCKS A@@! THEY ARE STILL WET AND WILL WARP

Buy more from walmart and amazon. HD is a joke of a company today. They were awesome some decades ago. Not anymore. As bad as Lowes.

I'm a licensed electrical contractor. I prefer HD simply because they usually have what I need - and not just electrical stuff either. I need shovels, garbage bags, garbage cans, paint, plywood, and a variety of other "things" to make my business work. Home Depot is good to me but I can see how a homeowner/ DIY'er can be frustrated with the store because they do lack in service when it comes to, "hey, what do I need to patch a leaky roof? Or, what size conduit do I need to run power to my shed?" Fortunately I know where everything is and how to use the HD app to find what I need and I very rarely ever speak to anyone inside the store. Lowes? Well, I rarely ever visit Lowes for anything. Also, Home Depot sells Milwaukee Tools and Lowes does not.

This is a commercial for a really bad business. You can buy water and Halloween props, but you can't find any of the hardware item that are not top sellers. They concentrate on the most popular 75% of the items in any product line. You always come out unable to finish a project. Plus the prices on many small items are atrocious. I have blacklisted HD.

Deadass they abuse their workers

I frigging LOVE home depot!! It's a manly place!!

Menards is wayyy better and cheaper.

They also indorse Trump and white nationalist 🤷🏿‍♂️

2008 COLLAPS WAS THE BANKS SOLD MORTAGES ON A PAYMENT ON DEMAND CLAUSE..THE BAIL OUT ON BANKS SHOULD HAD GIVEN HOMES TO THE ORIGINAL MORTAGES OWNERS. OR ALLOWED THE OWNERS A FULL REFUND INSTEAD OF FORCLOSURES.
