I posted a "warning" so if you don't want to hear a mini rant (I'm not really that pissed, but it does piss me off), don't read further.
Anyway, did anyone get one of the Home Depot $28 Ridgid workshop vacs? They are on the front page of their ad. I don't get up at 4am to shop. I may as well tell you that now. I don't stand in line waiting for a store to open either.
So, my wife and I walked in Home Depot at around 8am this morning. The parking lot was about 90% empty. Wow, that seemed weird. I found out why when I walked in. As I got a cart and grabbed one of their ads one of their employees politely asked if they could help me. I replied "Yes, thanks, where are the advertised Ridgid workshop vacs?"
You would though I told a funny joke. Several associates laughed and laughed. "We sold both of them to the first two people in the store", more laughing. I asked about a couple other things on the front page and got the same reply. No wonder the parking lot was empty! I turned to walk out and my wife went to put the cart back and I told her to leave it. With Home Depot's bait and switch tactics I figure they'd spend the rest of the day putting carts back from about 30' inside the front door as everyone realizes what Home Depot has done.
Oh, if you want that vacuum, you can get it on their website for $79 plus shipping.
