There Was A Youngster Invasion at Home Depot

Great idea Home Depot has to create a new generation of folks who know how to use a hammer.

i hope the entertainment was worth the delay in getting your sheetrock.

Good morning Tom. Home Depot is very smart to off these events for kids. You talk about building loyalty, they have figured it out for sure.

Such a cool thing that Home Depot offers and great experience for the kids....for you, not so much when they were set-up in front of what you needed.

Oh gosh, what a pain.

What a smart marketing idea for HD to drive in-store traffic.

 Good morning Tom. I have seen several of these workshops set up in the local stores as well. Talk about marketing genius.

I don't believe we have any of that around here.  At least not that I've heard of. It would be nice if we did

Great, Tom, your future employees are keeping you from getting your current work done!

Poor planning on the part of the store management.

My daughter takes Zack to these events all the time.  He loves them.

Tom,  It is often those "easy" "simple" and "quick" tasks that end up at a road block. Boy, yours certainly did.  Now the bigger question is:  Why did the project planner at Home Depot not allow for the fact that someone might need sheet rock that day ... and move some to another location to be easily accessed?  Never-mind ... lets not go there.

Tom, how log did it take for you to get that sheet rock?? Did you have to wait until the class ended??

It is great to see the kids learning new skills. Consumers may not fully appreciate the activities that disrupt their shopping if they wait until Saturday morning.
