A little while ago, I noticed that almost all off the Ax/household/non-specialty bulbs at Home Despot were marked with yellow clearance tags on the shelf. I would have picked up some spares, but the discounts weren't that great.
Fast forward to yesterday, all the shelves were bare except for Feit products. I asked one of the associates what was going on, and he said Philips/GE and the other brands were being replaced by Feit and another brand. Anyone know what the story is, or what the other brand will be? I haven't been back since.
It also appears they're revamping the stores, eliminating the customer service counters in favor of stations with terminals.
The checkout stands are also gone, in favor of table-like self-checkout stations, none of which were ready to take cash. I wonder how that will work?
I had to have the attendant corral a guy to check me out. Sorry dude, I'm not going to charge an 88 cent light switch, and then have corporate spam me for a review because I had bought something online from your with the same card in the past, courtesy of your unwanted big data analysis, so drop the pissy attitude.
Ugh.
