Are they preparing funeral invitations yet? They get worse and worse. There is hardly ever any help around anymore. I thought they used to have walkie talkies to get help with questions but none of them have them (did I imagine it). I went to get a shower valve and couldn't find it, first guy I asked didn't know what one was and pointed me toward the "plumbing guy". He figured out that they were out of them. I asked where another HD was and he told me but didn't offer to go check and see if they had them in stock. Went to the other HD and they didn't have any either. So I went to a Lowe's. Asked the Gal in the aisle if they had the valve I wanted and she had never heard of it but said she would call and have a plumbing guy come over. While waiting I found one in a packet that had been cut open. The valve inside was a used valve. When the plumbing guy arrived I showed him the used valve, he checked and said they had no more in stock but that another store had 12 in stock. So I went to the other Lowe's and got one there. Four stores to find a $12 valve, ridiculous.
