Our weed eater died (snapped the flex shaft) and it was being revived before every use anyway from rotten broken fuel lines and leaks stemming from hot weather and sucky gas, so I looked online and found the Homelight basic model at Home Depot.
I wanted this specific machine because it was only about 80 bucks, has an adjustable carb so I can adjust it to run decent and I don't need to baby or rig a damn weed eater into working every time I need it.
I can toss this thing in the trash next season without a thought to it.
So I pick up the box and put it in my cart.
At that same instant I hear a woman pretty much yelling down the long isle SIR!, SIIIR!, SIIIR! and I turn around to see who could possibly be doing what to get yelled at by this woman/employee.
Holy crap, she's talking to me. WTF?
She races over to my cart and starts to take the machine back out and I put my hand on it to hold it there while she's telling me "You don't want that, you want a Poulan or this Toro".
She say's "Homelight products are junk, and you'll be sorry if you buy that one".
While still holding the one I picked out down to keep her from taking it out of my cart I told her I knew exactly what I was buying and why, and that if I truly was "going to be sorry" I would just bring it back so please take your hand out of my cart and go away.
Hey I was smiling when I said it.
She say's "Sir, you don't have to be rude".
I told her I wasn't being rude in requesting she leave me alone and go away, as it was a politely stated request for the second time and I wasn't going to ask again. (still a smile on my face)
She looked shocked, like I was some guy being a jerk to her for no reason.
(But she went away)
What the heck is wrong with people?
