This week I went to the garden center at HD twice...what an eye-opener! First of all, there were 10x the normal number of DL's because of the downturn in construction. They all had a lean and hungry look and they were a bit threatening, to say the least. I filled my cart up with plants and the minute I left the cashier, I was beseiged by 3 DL's trying to grab my cart and push it to my car. They kept saying $5.00!!! Of course, they couldn't speak or understand English...as I kept telling them to get lost. They trailed me all the way to my car and, as I was loading the plants, they tried to "help" me, in spite of my protests. I refused to allow them to touch anything, but they wouldn't leave! Finally, as I got everything loaded into the car and started to leave, they stood there swearing at me in Spanish and making obscene hand signals! I just raced out of the parking lot!

The next day I had to return but this time I sat in my car for a few minutes and watched the same routine happening to other customers; except they were preying on the elderly customers. I saw these customers reach into their wallets and hand them money...just to get rid of them! It was infuriating!!!

I marched into the store and asked for the store manager ,andtold him what was happening. To my utter shock, the manager just shrugged his shoulders and said "They have to make a living somehow! They're just trying to help!!!"

Well, needless to say, I am furious! I'm getting a posse together to demand that HD bans these disgusting IA's from the parking lot! How dare they allow these criiminals to assail customers! The manager should be fired for putting the well being of the criminals ahead of the well being of the customers, and I'm not going to stop until he is fired!

The barbarians are at the gate...and in the parking lot at HD!
