So you've already lived fast and died young? Good to know they have broadband in Heaven.....or did you go somewhere else ?
He might have just ASSUMED it was an electric stove.
You plug the gas stove into the 15 (or 20) amp 115 volt plug to run the clock, the electronic ignition, and possibly the rotisserie, as well as the oven light and stovetop lights (if so equipped)
I got a call a couple of years back, from a woman that was having wall oven problems. She had had a single wall oven, and had it replaced with a double, and every time she tried to use both, the breaker tripped. I'm scrounging around the panel trying to find the breaker, and I can't find anything. Ultimately I traced the cable back from the oven. It was a 12/2 Romex. Improperly wired even for the original oven, made twice as bad with a double. One would thing the appliance company that connected it would have had a clue.

Give them credit ?? Surely you jest...LOL..What I find the most amusing is those that slam HD even go there...You HD haters know that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is a sign oif insanity , don't you...LOL ?? Don't like them then don't go there..Nobody is forcing you to...Shop where you want and let others shop where they want..No need to belittle some poor smuck making 10 bucks an hour probably working 2 jobs to get by or do you perfer him and his family be on welfare ???..Or are the horror stories even real ??? I think that this topic is brought up every few weeks for those with BBDS (Big Box Derangement Syndrome) can have a therapy session...LOL...Oh well , continue on..Don't let me interupt your therapy session....LOL...
I ended up using the same (Belden , I believe) unsheilded twisted pair cable the rest of the premises was wired with. I think it was
8442.? Black and red, single unsheilded twisted pair in grey PVC jacket. Similar to fire alarm cable but in grey jacket instead of red. Something like 6 cents a foot.
The last Cat5 I certified yesterday tested better than Cat6 and the speed tested better than 1 GbE in speed. It's all in how careful you are when you install it.

That works OK, it may confuse the next telecom tech who shows up but who cares, it works. 8-)

Twist 'em together, and then electrical tape.
Clare is humorless, today?
It would be nice, if the installing company did a thorough job, and was customer service oriented. Some (Like Mark Ransley's AC company) are not that thoughtful.
I sympathize, but it's not just Home Depot.
I tried to buy perfume for a Christmas present. "May I help you," inquired the matron at the perfume counter of an upscale store.
"Yes, I want that bottle of perfume - 'Woman' by Jovan"
"No," she said. "You want the one next to it, 'Man' "
"Uh, no, I want 'Woman' "
"Really, sir, 'Man' is the one for you" she insisted.
"You're beginning to sound like my ex-wife. I know what I want"
"Sir," she explained, but her patience was clearly being exhausted. "They work completely different. You're a male and 'Man' is the fragrance for you."
I fixed her with a steely stare. "If you must know, I'm having a sex change operation right after the first of the year and I'm trying to stock up on all the gear. Gimmie 'Woman'!"
I distinctly hear the word "Eek" as she hurriedly shuffled away to get a supervisor.

I trust Trader4 to KNOW what kind of stove it was.

I bought cabinet mounted double electric ovens when re-doing the kitchen. My nephew-in-law, a long time union electrician, hooked it up. He put in two 40 amp breakers, and the supply cable was about 3/4" in diameter and looked like a black garden hose. When using both ovens, the electric meter spins like it is turbo driven
I had the most unusual experience at a Home Despot a few day ago. I went in looking for a saw guide and had an employee to come over and show me how a product worked. He checked around at the the other HD stores looking for something I couldn't find there and offered to call Lowes.
Now, that is not the kind of service that I have come to expect from Home Despot! Don't expect that at you local HD.

A spark plug?
re: "Don't expect that at your local HD"
It was at my local HD that I was staring, slightly befuddled, at the assortment of Sharkbite connectors and PEX tubing. It was about to be my first foray into PEX.
A guy in an orange vest came over, asked me if I needed help and after I described what I wanted to do, he proceeded to gather all the connectors I would need and explained how to use them.
He included tips like "You can buy a cutter, but since you only need 2 cuts, just use an utility knife with a sharp blade and make sure you cut it straight."
When I went to grab the PEX I saw 10' foot strips and 100' rolls. I needed just under 20 feet, so I went to grab two 10' sections and an extra connector. He said "Don't do that. Nobody ever sees the 25' foot rolls in those boxes on the bottom shelf. Much cheaper than two 10's and the extra connector."
I was pretty impressed.
Just like in everyday meetings with various people, you can't judge all people by the one you ran into. The guy in the plumbing aisle at my local HD is a retired plumber. He helped me out a lot of times. I'm often surprised that any 'associate' you ask at HD or Lowes can often direct you to the right aisle for what you want. if he/she can't, they find one who can.
Now, that is either clueless or insensetive. Like she thinks no one buys stuff as presents. I also rather don't much like clerks who tell me what I need.
I had a similar experience attempting to buy a shock absorber for my vehicle at Sears. The clerk insisted to know what kind of vehicle, and refused to sell me the one I wanted. Actually, I have bought nearly nothing at Shears after that.
