The Truth Was Deliverd This Morning at Home Depot

[rsmith6621]

Went to HD this morning to pick up some batterys for the flashlight and a belt/filter for the vacuum cleaner.

While I was there I took time to walk around and see some of the new items in stock. I stepped into the flooring department to look at a box of carpet scraps I though would work good for car floor matts and at $2 bucks for a 18x18 inch sqaure that is very cheap for something that will get dirty anyhow.

Went up to the sales clerk who was helping a couple to see if they could square a corner and WAHLA the couple is one of the community's wealthiest residents. They were looking at some tile that was $15 a square. While the clerk was squaring up my carpet the rich man made a comment to the sames clerk that if it wasn't for the fact he was going to pay more tax this year Home Depot wouldn't get their BIZ.

He basically made the statement that he works hard for his money and should be rewarded with a larger tax cut and told the clerk if he worked hard he to should not have to pay higher tax.

I lost it and said "SIR can you tell me in the IRS TAX CODE where it says you should be rewarded based on the amount of work you do?... I said I dont believe there is a paragraph that say work hard pay less..RIGHT.

He said he was going to leave the store when I said DONT..why are you going to punish the clerk for our disagreement and after all you wont find that tile any cheaper elsewhere and I walked.

1. What's it like, getting into a political argument every time you go anywhere?

Seems like every time you go anywhere, you run into conservatives who spout their every thought
just as you arrive, and you have to slap them down. Every time.

That must be exhausting.

10. Yeh, standing up for what's right and confronting RW bullshit. That's really terrible.

Better to just be a dreamer?

2. Debunking stupidity, one person at a time. nt

4. yes indeed especially when you leave them without them able to think of a comeback.

5. The only comebacks they muster with me usually are like this

"What are you a leftist"

Or my favorite!

"it's all you liberals fault"

I never bother to ask them why they respond that way. I don't give a shit.

7. You should sometime. Ask them what Obama has done that has been different to Bush?

[mikeysnot]

11. I could answer that one

sure it would be something to the effect of Socialism!

Actually Obama has done a lot different than Bush but that is another topic.

[southernyankeebelle]

12. Yep, that is about right. LOL

3. What are you doing at Home Depot they suck ass

And yes, whatever he's getting would probably be a better deal at Lowes, and better quality.

6. I have a Home Depot and a Lowes almost around the corner from my house.

Before I buy anything from either of them, I go online and compare prices. Usually Lowes wins out except when I had to buy a window A/C unit and Home Depot was cheaper for what I needed. I do not let politics rule my purchasing, but my bank account does.
