The Truth Was Deliverd This Morning at Home Depot [View all]

Went to HD this morning to pick up some batterys for the flashlight and a belt/filter for the vacuum cleaner.

While I was there I took time to walk around and see some of the new items in stock. I stepped into the flooring department to look at a box of carpet scraps I though would work good for car floor matts and at $2 bucks for a 18x18 inch sqaure that is very cheap for something that will get dirty anyhow.

Went up to the sales clerk who was helping a couple to see if they could square a corner and WAHLA the couple is one of the community's wealthiest residents. They were looking at some tile that was $15 a square. While the clerk was squaring up my carpet the rich man made a comment to the sames clerk that if it wasn't for the fact he was going to pay more tax this year Home Depot wouldn't get their BIZ.

He basically made the statement that he works hard for his money and should be rewarded with a larger tax cut and told the clerk if he worked hard he to should not have to pay higher tax.

I lost it and said "SIR can you tell me in the IRS TAX CODE where it says you should be rewarded based on the amount of work you do?... I said I dont believe there is a paragraph that say work hard pay less..RIGHT.

He said he was going to leave the store when I said DONT..why are you going to punish the clerk for our disagreement and after all you wont find that tile any cheaper elsewhere and I walked.
