When I lived in So Calif-—the NEW local Home Depot had a crowded parking lot....
BUT with space to park a premium-—HD decided to erect a tent “shelter” for the ILLEGALS who were harassing customers in the parking lot. THIS “Shelter” took up 8 parking spaces-—in the middle of the parking lot.
I am female, and I wasn’t at all pleased with feeling so vulnerable when surrounded with all the young men pushing & shoving, trying to find day work.
The attitude at HD still keeps me from shopping there-—
They have become part of the problem-—not part of the solution.
I don’t frequent HD anymore, either; occasionally will stop into Lowe’s if there’s not a crowd. Parking at both stores was in the acres, so never a problem.
