### Comment:
Was just in HD last weekend trying to order a garage door.  Process was hours long and painful and the bodies working didn't understand their own terminals.  While trying to understand their own terminals, they also intimated that HD are on an all-out attrition spree to cut down employees per store to about 2.  Everything will be online, nobody will be there to help in stores.   
  
 Good for overheads I guess.

### REPLY:
Interesting observation. They installed a gang of self checkouts near mine recently and have a clueless greeter/farewell wisher standing there who occasionally provides a meaningless override. If they installed kiosks throughout the store to answer “where is this widget” then you really wouldn’t need anyone working there. Hell, 9/10 times these people are running around apparently doing something since they act like you’re invisible if you have a question.
