You are right: I noticed the change in customer service in Home Depot. I am not sure about the banks' loan departments. They sure are not cooperating, and most of them are downright rude.</p> Do you think maybe employees trying to keep their jobs figure they better change their attitudes?

Yet where I live my Home Depot is great and always has been. One can't walk in the door without being asked if you need help finding something. I've been walked to an aisle halfway across the store by an employee just to show me where that obscure item is that I was searching for. Jenny - what was the name of the eye product you bought? Maybe we should call this new era, Customer Service Reform :-) Your comment about Home Depot is one that I often hear. Yet where I live my Home Depot is great and always has been.

One group had aprons on, but I can't say for sure which. Last time I went to Home Depot the employees and the potted plants were nearly indistinguishable from one another.

A few weeks ago a lady came at me with eyes like laser beams fixed upon my makeup. She was very nice and spoke with an accent. "You very dry under eyes I think," she pronounced, and proceeded to pat a very cool and refreshing creamy gel underneath my eyes, right over my makeup! It really was astounding how much better it made me look. I went back a few weeks later and bought some ... so I guess this "bad" economy is paying off for everyone!

I think their stupidity has shifted to me. I had trouble adding 0+0! Anyway, I wanted to say that I am so glad to finally hear a piece of good news connected to our economy. I hope the news services find out about this. Drat! I think their stupidity has shifted to me. I had trouble adding 0+0!

I think you were a victim of coincidence times three. Just to be sure, I'm going to visit my Home Depot today. I don’t share your optimism. I think you were a victim of coincidence times three.
