Do Home Depot employees ever wonder what the customers’ projects are? More specifically, do they wonder about mine?
One of my brothers works at Home Depot and the other works at Ace. I can confirm that they DO wonder.
“So this customer just… went in and bought every single tube of silicone we had. It wasn’t many, to be fair, but then they also bought a bunch of dirt. They were really fussy about the TYPE of soil too.”
“They’re a reptile keeper and they’re making a new vivarium. I can guarantee it. Ask them what species they keep next time. I want to know.”
(a few weeks later)
“They keep crested geckos.”
I work at JoAnn Fabric and Crafts.
So many times people will come in and buy an array of items, and sometimes you can guess what they’re doing. But other times…I had one gentleman when I first started working there buy over $2,000 worth of cotton fabric. I asked if he was a quilter. He said no, and then just….Walked out with his purchase. He didn’t even want bags to put all the fabric in. He haunts me to this day.
