Default Response to WC on HD Nursery Consultants (Hound Dog post)

See my response to 62205 HD nursery consultants...
Stress free???? You gotta love gardening to work at a box store
nursery....I'd sat 4 in 10 customers are very appreciative if you can tell
them what to do right now in their yard....Most are so intimidated by the
"unknown" that they will literally sit and watch weeds invade their yard
because they are afraid they are gonna kill something.....Then you have the
batch that have been doing it this way for 35 years and you're not going to
change their minds...So don't...Learn from them as well...Then there are the
customers from hell....They just came from your desk at the computer
programmer place and had ripped you a new one...Before you they got gas and
left the cashier at the gas station in tears because she couldn't control
the price of gas and she got their Va Slims wrong, and after they leave the
Box store they are going out to eat and you know the waiter ain't gonna get
the meal exact to their specs....At least the waiter can spit in their food
for us..... Then theres this bunch in here (rec.garden folk) God love
ya's.....What would we do without this NG...So much info so little time so
much fertilizer flung in here...But the fun is a poppin in here...A lot of
respect for most, plain ol thpppp for others....
Apply now at Home Depot or Lowes at the employment kiosk at the front of the
stores... Most gardening centers are slowing down a bit but it will pick up
again in a few weeks....The new hires from the spring crush are weeding
themselves out now and the weak are quiting......Theres room.....
