What makes you think any HD employee is smart enough to make any home improvement? There’s a reason they’re doing what is essentially the bagging job retards get paid to do at a grocery store.

He already did, numb nuts.

People with PhD’s? Really? Name one, because my bullshit meter just went off the charts. Maybe unless you were an idiot and got a PhD in something stupid like English or Anthropology or Philosophy.

Careful now, you’re going to stir up the hornets’ nest of socialists around here.

There is no evidence of that, however, so your hypothetical is kinda pointless.

How is it coercion? Most of those people are immigrants (Illegal or not) and send money back to their home country every month, where it’s worth 3x as much at minimum.

That’s about the right amount of time you should be working these type of jobs, during that age range, assuming you weren’t in an internship. However, your problems are really due to the franchise model - which I can agree could be a nightmare. In this case however, Home Depot doesn’t franchise (Likely due to the size…

Man, you have to realize you’re talking to what equates to slabs of marble. People that think you deserve a “living” wage for what is essentially mindless shit that could be automated within 10 years are clueless. I make about as much as you to do contract review and negotiations, which I went to university AND a…

Buddy, I think you missed the sarcasm in the OP.

Do you..Do you not understand how businesses and commerce work?

Incorrect, the contract involves offer and acceptance. Even with a refund, those goods belonged to Home Depot the moment the placed and paid for the order. You are not a lawyer, paralegal, or even a legal assistant, because they would all know and understand that fact. Please, kindly let yourself out.

Exactly how stupid are you? “If the goods aren’t delivered, but have already been paid for, they don’t belong to Home Depot!” Jesus it’s like you’re intentionally obtuse. I guess you won’t mind me stealing packages off your doorstep either, you pair of clownshoes.

Oh FFS give me a break, they are a commodity - they’re immediately replaceable. You can literally make $17 an hour doing menial data entry with nothing more than a college degree - and some places only require a GED. If you can’t meet those requirements, I’m sorry, that’s your own damn fault.

HamNo is basically a tabloid writer - except tabloid writers know they’re writing drivel, and HamNo thinks he’s writing some real deep diving social commentary.

What does capitalism have to do with it? They applied for this work, they accepted the job, they get paid for that job. They could walk away, too, but they don’t. They just want to sit and gripe.

How many more articles do you think HamNo is going to milk this Home Depot stuff for? It’s like he thinks most people feel bad for the people writing these letters, when in reality I think most normal individuals are smart enough to know “retail” isn’t a lucrative or glamorous career path.

You horse people are the worst.

They sign it away when a team picks it up, obviously. You generally can’t be expected think you have an expectation of privacy when the basis of your whole employment rests on your physical condition.

God forbid someone has a differing opinion and it causes you to ignore a perfectly good game.

Good one.
