Home Depot -- A Great Customer Service Experience

Last Sunday evening at 7:30 pm, my cousin and I arrived at Home Depot (Buffalo, NY - Store #1234) with the intention of purchasing a propane tank. When we pulled into the parking lot, we noticed the lot looked rather empty with the exception of a few employees straightening up outside. A quick question to an employee confirmed that it closed at 7 pm.

You know the expletives that were going through our head -- and there goes the BBQ.

Not so fast. My determined, but polite, cousin leaped out of the car and ran up to Sam, one of the Home Depot employees, and pleaded with him to sell us a propane tank.

Sam listened and told us to hold on while he checked if any register was open. It was our lucky day -- a register was open! The propane tank was ours.

A big thank you to Sam, who has single-handedly reversed my negative thoughts about customer service at Home Depot.

Give Sam a raise -- he is a keeper!

You are correct -- I totally did not need to add in that line!

The fact is that I have had so many negative experiences at Home Depot
that I was just over-the-top surprised when I encountered such a
fantastic employee.

Additionally, I was trying to emphasize the power of good customer to
Home Depot b/c I really will shop there versus Lowe's (which is just
down the block) in the future.

Thanks for your good point!
