Was a bit surprised until that part. No way my moms shopping would seem like an equitable split between them. Granted, one of my moms is regularly assumed to be a guy (I've had my high school's front office tell me to go to a remote parking lot to see my "dad" before - had fun messing with my teacher by pointing out I don't have one as I left the classroom). So people might not even notice they are a lesbian couple and many probably assume she's a dad when with us. Home Depot has always been far closer.
Nice. Curious if this is mostly younger couples. My parents grew up in a time less accepting (and we are in Texas), so that seems foreign to me.
Tell me more about this family discount.
All right then, keep your secrets.
"family discount" as in "oh look the box has a tiny ding in it - guess this damaged stock and therefore I had better ring this up at cost plus"?
That's interesting - thanks for explaining. I guess this is baked in, and designed so people feel like they are getting a great deal?
The Robin Hood of hardware stores! As a middle aged dude this impressed me more then the iPhone thing we spoke about earlier. This is careless heroism if anything.
It's honestly an admirable struggle.
Family discount...do single people often buy appliances? And why would single people be better off than families for there to be a need for a family discount? Lol
... people who are single generally still have family members of one sort or another. Humans are generally not reproducing through parthenogenosis.
True, but the birthday discount only happens on the customer's birthday; not just because they have a birthday!
"~~Kirk~~ @[email protected], ~~crackers~~ appliances are ~~a~~ family ~~food~~, devices happy families. Maybe single people ~~eat crackers~~ buy appliances, we don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know."
Discount Speed Queens for queens at your local Home Depot.
The two brands that have high reviews and moderate pricing. I swear Samsung pads their reviews.
They could be sensible and spend more on a more reliable product, but no.
