Sorry I've plucked a nerve with my dislike of Home Depot - but at the end of the day this thread was started to talk about where as consumers we are being pinched on the products and services we purchase and if we were going to get on the bitch wagon and do something about it.

I've done something about it, taken my business elsewhere. There are certain things I expect when I make a purchase and if it is not someone's (in this case Home Depot) business for whatever reason to provide the level of service I expect I will take my business elsewhere. That's the lovely thing about a capitalist society, there are plenty of places more than willing to take my money.

I'm going to end it with this... isn't it interesting that at Home Depot the "delivery of the carpet" is a built in cost ... oh I'm sure I paid a delivery charge its just factored into the install cost ... but for hardwood and tile it is not pre-factored into the install cost it's a seperate charge. And just for the record I wasn't asking for a significant "discount" it was less than 1%, which if I would have liked to sign up for a credit card I could have received a 10% discount. Clearly cash is not King anymore but I imagine that's another topic that we can vent about.
