    This will serve as historical evidence that Home Depot employees were once willing to help customers

      Worked at hd for over a year. Really just depends on the employee you get.. some are slackers and some really do love customers. Their problem is they hire a random person off the street, then throw them in hardware lol. They make them watch training videos about hardware but that's it...

    Home Depots haven't changed much since then. I remember going there with my dad back in the mid 90s and he would let me ride on those large metal carts that you push around to load large items on. He would occasionally purchase concrete and wood planks from Home Depot and sometimes Lowe's.
    That employee Jon reminds me of a young Ray Romano. The thumbnail of this video got me laughing. Customer asks, "Do you work here?" Employee responds back, "No. I wear this apron to pick up b**ches." LOL!

    Seeing footage from 2000 gives some good perspective of how long ago it actually was,though it might not seem so at times.

    As much as I appreciate stores like Home Depot today, I absolutely hated being dragged to places like these as a kid. Pre-smartphone era so I had to stand there bored out of my mind while my dad was trying to make his mind on whatever piece of lumber he wanted to buy. Fun times.🙄

      @@kdaltex I didn't start appreciating these stores until my late teens when I gained a hobby that involves using lots of tools. (Collecting and restoring antique music players) now I love going there! But as a kid being dragged away from TV in a pre-smartphone world, nuh uh.

    Peak Home Depot was the mid to late 1990s. Back when they had experts on the floor and didn’t have an astronomical level of employee retention like today. The acceleration of high tech is partly to blame.

    And that was the last time you would ever see a day shift person helping someone. I worked there and I was overnight. They started making us come out onto the floor at 8:00 and help all the customers because all the daylight customers were too busy out smoking or in the break room.

    Thanks for posting this mate! I worked at home depot from april 2020 to jan 2021 and wanted to see what a home depot looked like prior to the year 2000! My earliest memory being at one was with my dad in early 1998 when he was looking for a new door knob for my brothers room.

      @@Griffin09275 It was a pretty good job. I worked as a lot tech(a cart attendant) where I collected the shopping carts outside and helped customers load stuff in there car. It was pretty easy apart from the very heavy items. And at the time the only other thing that bugged me was the few older/fatter customers who told me to "WeAr YouR FucKInG MasK!!1". Even when it was like 85 degrees outside. But overall it went pretty well. I couldn't do it now because it only pays about $12 an hour but if you have another job and want to make extra cash then I think it's a good place.

    I remember being forced by my parents to go to Home Depot with them early Saturday mornings to buy products to remodel our home. No cell phones or gameboys so my bros and I would play with screws and metal objects to entertain ourselves lol

      The one Home Depot had a security camera system on display for sale.
      It was on the rack shelf end with a camera pointing down one aisle and another down the other.
      There were speakers on the cameras and a microphone on the monitor or control unit.
      I was using it to yell stuff at customers.

    Back when Home Depot used to have employees that actually gave decent advice and knew what they were talking about. And actually helped you out. Now it’s either a bunch of retired lacking old people that work part time or high school/college aged kids that you have to tract down to open up a cage to get some freaking wire plus they don’t even know how to do that! Wish I could go back even just for a few days back to the early 2000’s or 90’s man!!
