month ago, we went into the Placerville Home Depot to look for door to replace the our . We found the Anderson 300 series that looked exactly like the one we had and decided that would be the one we would choose. Unfortunately, none was in stock. About 10 days ago, we went back into the store and again tried to purchase the storm door. At that point there was yet a shortage, but we photograph of the item information as posted on the product on display, see the attached photo. The price time was $219. So last Friday we went in For the third time to pick up this item and again, it was not in stock that time after literally hunting the gentleman in charge of the millwork and door area, Jose, we asked if we could just go ahead and order the door, still at the price And would pick it up whenever it was delivered to the store. Jose, who clearly did not really have an interest in helping us much, suggested that we shouldn't purchase since there was no guarantee this particular door in the color combination we wanted, would actually show up and it would be best to come back in after Wednesday when he expected to have a shipment arrive. At that point we did note that the price in the storage rack behind the display door had a price of $259 and when we pointed it out to Jose wasn't sure what to say about the conflicting prices as the display door still had the $219 price. At that point Jose removed the $219 price tag from the display door and handed it to us stating well when you come back in, you may have to talk to the manager about the price differences, but they should honor the $219 price Which of course, he just removed from the door. So on Friday, yesterday, August 28, I went into the Home Depot, found a cart capable of handling the door from an elderly couple loading lumber outside and went back to the door section where I started looking for The door in the supply rack. There was some confusion, although the rack had been refilled and again I went in search of Jose, who is nowhere to be found. I went back to the rack again carefully looked at all of the labeling, and to my dismay I found the exact door filing And wrestling the door out of the tight rack. It took several minutes for me to work this door out of the stack and as I got it out sales floor, I turned around to put it on my cart only to find some SO had literally taken my while I was wrestling the door out of the , which only made my experience more irritating, but the best was yet to come. So I had to go hunt down another Srt
And back to the window and door section where I wrestled it cart and headed to the checkout area. So when I got to the checkout area, the lady checker was pleasant enough initially and I said we're probably gonna have a discussion about the price on this and could you please call your supervisor over as This seems to have gone up $40 since last week. I jokingly said I didn't get a $40 raise this week did you to which she responded with a snotty 'no'. So I handed her the tag that Jose had taken off the display window the week earlier and what was handed to us by Jose back in t he door section literally a week ago with Jose's instruction to ask for the manager re the price difference on the door..
So, with that, the clerk started looking at the tag on the display a week earlier that had been provided to us by Jose and scan it, she has, "this isn't even the right of is there a light on door?". I said no, this is a simple storm door, and this was on the display which he started to give me the look like I was trying to and then went over to the door that was in my push cart and tried to scan the code that was on it and she said well look somebody has torn. This tag off too suggesting that I had done it. I said this is exactly how it came out of the rack lady but here let me flip heavy door over and maybe there's a tag on the other side for you, which I did and there was and she said see this is this is $259.. I said yes that is the issue here a week ago when we wanted to buy it and they didn't have stock. Jose told us not to because he wasn't sure we would be able to get in and now that one's in but the price is now $40 higher. And I again requested her supervisor. She really tried to do everything except suggested. I had somehow switched the tags and called a supervisor over who had a discussion that I could not hear with her and his response was this is the price 259. I explained to him The whole scenario again showed him the tag because of doesn't mean me show you the photograph of this item on display with the $219 seven days ago. He said I don't care where that photograph came from or when it was but the price of this is $259. He declined to call Jose up saying he wouldn't believehe
At that point, I said you know you guys are really freaking amazing, I my Home Depot card, which is now in pieces in the garbage, paid for my $259 /219 door And left the store for the very last time. read more
