My wife and I are both auditors ans we agree all you need to do to clean out a Home Depot store is to bring a large enough truck.
Today I went in there to purchase a lockset for my new front door. I swiped it on the self-checkout, stuck it in my basket, swiped my credit card in the machine, and started for the door. Who stopped me? My wife did. She pointed out that I needed to put the lockset in the bag and proceed from there.
Well it turned out this lockset had a security device that needed to be neutralized, and, of course, it did not get neutralized and an alarm went off as I left the store. Who stopped me? NOBODY!
I wish Home Depot ran a liquor store!
