Home Depot sucks shit

[JTEM]

I've just been trying to navigate the Home Depot
website and, well, and I gave up.

What a useless piece of shit...

I'll tell you what I was trying to do:

So I'm looking to buy a utility sink. What I /thought/
I'd do is log on to their website, compare prices and
sizes -- check for availability -- and then sometime
around 1pm in the afternoon zip in and buy one.

...home Depot had other ideas.

Now I wasn't expecting EVERY model to be available
in store, don't get me wrong, but I did expect that their
website would be on my side a little bit here, help to
to find SOMETHING. Here's what I thought...

I thought I'd go through the models and maybe see
a little notice/tab/icon telling me if a model was available
for in-store pickup. If it was, I expected to maybe punch
in a zip code or something and find the closest store --
or all the nearby stores -- which carried it.

No dice.

I could choose "My Store" (and for some reason it
kept defaulting to a store nowhere near me, going
so far as to "Correct" my zip code in order to justify
suggesting the wrong store), but all the website would
tell me is if the unit was available there, in that
particular store. If it wasn't I could choose a different
store BEGINNING THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN
(it doesn't return you to the product and tell you
whether or not it's available at that location), and I could
keep doing this until I've either given up, exhausted all
the possibilities within a day's drive or maybe -- just
maybe -- find a store that's carrying this particular
model.

If none are carrying that model, and assuming I haven't
wised up and shopped elsewhere by now, I can repeat
all this for a different model... and so on and so on...

A search which should take second instead can take
hours.

This is idiocy. Do yourselves a favor and shop Lowes.
