Funny, I was just at a Sam Ass store earlier this afternoon.

So I'm looking around for the last D.I. port they got in stock, and I overhear some clueless guy who obviously has lots of money to spend, talking to some kid about $2,000 Neumann mics. He wants to get a pair to go with his new hard disk recorder.

I overheard him ask: "Yea, I understand they're $2,000 mics, but do they sound $2,000 better?" The kid was obviously pulling words out of his ass in response. I couldn't help it. I had to burst in. I said: "What kind of preamp are you using?"

He says: "Well, that's the thing. You see, I have this dbx 376, and it has a tube in it, so I'm sure I'm all set there." I just kind of laughed and said: "Do yourself a favor; grab one of those Rode NTK's over there, and plug it in to one of those boxes over there that say 'avalon.' " Much better way to spend your $2,000. And you might be surprized what you'd get for your dbx on ebay.

Poor kid. I couldn't help it.

Sounds like you needed someone at HD to overhear you and say "Hey, kid, get your own saw, and learn how to use it."


Oh, fuckin' A, a 2002 thread? WTF? Get a life, whoever dug this up.

I dunno why he signed up specially to drag up an ancient thread and then show off his abject illiteracy for all the world to see, but just to make him feel welcome I dunked him in the red ketchup vat that they make red chicklets in. :)

I too have had MANY bad experiences with Hom Depot, and I've learned a few lessons...

Home Depot is Good if,
-- You pretty much know what you need to do whatever task you're
buying for.
-- you need a wide variety of selection
-- you want the cheapest of anything
-- you have time to sift through thier stack of junk lumber to pull a
few striaght boards
-- are looking for convenience
-- if you are the habit of returing a lot of things- there pretty
good about that

Home Depot is VERY VERY BAD if;
-- you are looking for specialty items.
-- you think they will deliver anything but the junk off the shelves that
everyone else sets aside to get to the good stuff.
-- you need any type of assistance from thier sales clerks other than
to ask where something can be found on the shelves (even then its
hit or miss)- i mean- it is a pretty big store
-- you want to special order anything

Home Depot has never EVER successfully got any of our orders right and for that reason I will only buy things off the shelf that i can get home myself. Anything over a couple of hundred bucks or that would have to be ordered / delivered I WILL NOT purchase through Home Depot.
I'm pricing a new front entry door and garage man door for my house now with about $2k - $3k to spend and Im not even considering Home Depot. :mad:

For a while there (after they royally fucked up one of our orders and cost us a ton of time and hassle) I actuall refused to shop there at all- which is a bitch because Lowe's is like three time further away. But i came to the realization that I need to take Home Depot for whats its worth; a big box retail chain with little to no accountability for poor service.

My brother-in-law and I were hired to build a split rail fence for some people we know a year or two back- we placed the order with the closest Home Depot to the job (not the closest to where we lived) almost a week in advance- worth about $3,500- we scheduled a time to pick it up- first thing on Saturday morning- 6:30am. My bro-in-law called the day befor to confirm our order and our pick up time- so we get there about 6:45 am.
The guy is on the phone- trying to call my bro-in-law who is standing right in front of him- he tells us- "dude- real sorry- we dont ahve any of that material here". WTF!! So he tracks down what we need at another store- takes him 1.5hrs- while we are standing there waiting- he sends us to the other store many miles away- the other store said the would hold the rent-a-truck there for a 10 minutes til we got there. We get there and the truck is gone. WTF again- they said- "we cant hold the truck"- -turned out one of their fucking employees "borrowed it". Bullshit! They said- theres another Home Depot down the Highway a few exits- you can go rent there truck and come back to get the fencing here- so we go to the other store and they said that they will not rent the truck to us because we are not buying from THAT store.
Unfucking beleivable. WE eventually ended up renting a u-haul and picking the fence up in that- we got our lumber on site at about 2pm.

I've got a few stories like that one- but that was the last straw. No more ordering anything from Home Depot.

Do yourself a favor. If you are buying specialty type items or larger orders, dont bother with Home Depot. Find a reputable specialty supplier in your area (the kind that typically work with contractors that dont put up with the type shit that Home Depot dishes out). You might pay a few extra bucks but you'll save in the end.

P.S. hey framer! Do you work for home depot you douche bag. :confused: :rolleyes:

What's with The Random capital Letters and NO grammar To Speak of fRamer?
 
I've never known anyone worth a shit that uses the word retard on a regular basis. And I guess that still holds true. When I hear somone over using the word "retard" or "fag" its usually due to the fact that they are so insecure of either their own mental abilities or sexual preference that they have to project their problems on others.


P.S. I know nobody used the "fag" word, I was just using it as a real world example and it certainly wasn't mean to offend anyone, educational purposes only. I HATE TROLLS!
 
I think it is incredibly funny that people get ruffled over a joke made a COUPLE OF YEARS back.... :)


I even think it is possible that Chess has maybe even had some good experiences with Home Depot since APRIL OF 02!!!


but then...maybe not!!
