WOW, Let's begin by saying I went to the Home Depot in Cockeysville, Md earlier today. I was kind of in a rush, I had plans to be somewhere at 4:00pm. I strolled inside with everything I had to get on my mind. It was a simple list. 1 1/2" wooden dowel, one piece of wood, one bracket set to hold the wood dowel up and a stud finder.
I'm racing down the main drag towards the wood isle. Now mind you it's ONLY 2 isles... not really hard to figure out where things are. So I grab the first employee at the end of that isle, She was all about helping me, So i felt comfortable asking her if she could kindly point me in the direction of the wooden dowels, I described what i wanted and the look on her face, was telling me I picked the wrong person in the wood section to ask.
She tells me I have to go and see Tony. Just then she screams down the isle for him. Mind you there was a body down at the other end, but it was female... so I thought ok, she knows what's up. She screams again for Tony & asks if "HE's " down there, looks at me asks me if I know him. Just as I'm about to run away, I see a thumb pop up and she says, " there he is " At this point she should have just said, walk down the end of the isle, you'll see a cadillac with no wheels on it sitting on blocks, talk to the man inside and for $5 bucks, he'd give me directions on where to go.
So I walk down, Tony and I meet. He is a young kid, looking hungover as hell sitting on a bucket. I repeat my request... again understand there is only 2 isles of wood. This crack monster tells me that he has no clue what I'm talking about and to go to the " ORANGE " info desk down the main isle and he points in the direction. I just look at him like I want to kick the bucket from underneath him and walk down the magic isle. I say that b/c I walk the entire store length and the only thing orange I see is a HD bucket. This is where the hero of the day comes in.
As I made my journey down the magic main isle I spot 3 employee's in the blinds section, speak my request and low and behold, Jason says to me, Follow me, I'll take care of everything. This employee should be recognized 100% and given a raise and his picture put on the wall.. He got me everything I needed. Kept me on my time frame and hell, he even cut the wood for me and he didn't work in the " wood " dept. I made a decision to seek out his name on his apron, especially for this blog. If you happen to find yourself in the Home Depot in Cockeysville, Md. Don't waste your time on anyone else. Find Jason. He's about 5'8" wears glasses and can probably be found in the blinds section. Kudos to you my friend. You took real good care of me!!
