home depot unacceptable (50 traders way)
Living in Salem I have a tree root problem which is actually probably town jurisdiction and problem. The tree in the front on that little strip on the other side of sidewalk has roots going into my sewage pipes so every 6 months I had to pay a plumber 600 dollars to open the main sewer pipe and snake it to the road. I figured I'd get a friend to rent a machine from home depot and save me money (I work 40 hours at a hospital as a Phlebotomist I bust my rear) so I sent my friend down when this happened 6 months ago we got the machine (I was with him I'm white and he's Egyptian ) they gave us the machine nice enough we got it home it was too short, we called no problem take it back, it was kinked, we take it back AGAIN. and finally got a Machine and cleared it. These machines are HEAVY, my friend d is 65. This time it happened I was on the night sift til 11pm our sewer was blocked again we could use the toilet or shower or wash clothes. So while I was at work my friend agreed to go pick up the machine, I gave him my card and he went and signed the deposit. As he was WALKING IN he sees the guy hastily scribbling a paper that the machine had been checked earlier that month. As they put in in the car it starts leaking water. He asked if this was cleaned and inspected why us it still wet. The guy gave some excuse (robert) I think was the manager. So we get it home, our neighbors had to help carry it and it fell on my friends leg .. we get it to the basement and start to unwind it and he finds its kinked LIKE LA ST TIME. also it's missing a little tool so he IMMEDIATELY calls to tell them and the guy very nasty white trash says oh so u broke it and lost a piece . No it was broke he said and I want to switch it no they told him they were taking his deposit (MY DEPOSIT IN MY NAME) AND we're going to charge extra for breaking the machine. He calls me right away at the hospital I had to rush and call in my card as stole, causing numerous damage and bounced fees for thing I have automatically debited. The next I ran to my bank and they told me in fact they got the 125 deposit and we're trying repeatedly ALL night to deduct 127.00 more but it kept being declined as I shut my card THANK GOD. The hold lasted another 3 days for the 127 causing me to further go minus. We called customer satisfactIon and they told us in so many word to (go to h*ll). When they went to bring the machine there were the typical 3 white trash high school dropouts waiting for us like they wanted trouble with my friend because he's foreign. Also they have stopped him with his brother and made them show their receipts before while the white people just passed by. ALSO a girlfriend went with her son to customer service and the woman started SCREAMING at this 8 year old making him cry. After her screaming rant she started pushing a bed full if cut boards and the board were sticking off the end. The woman was so busy ranting at this other kid she almost poked my friends kid right in the face until my friend SCREAMED at her to stop as she was not stopping. For my friend to have to scream is a HUGE deal she is so mild mannered .this company is racist, they are crooks, and they hire people who I'm surprised barely graduated 8th grade and for CORPORATE to side with these losers and take my hard earned money and leave me in shit "literally" I want them put out of business they are a disgrace to our community and white trash should stay in the trash where it belongs. I guarantee you If I had been with my friend that night they would dare open their big fat trailer park beer swilling Faces
