We had gone to buy some paint we had a great experience and the guy James at the paint section was nice and helpful.

You know what's fun? Trying to find someone to help you at Home Depot of Bellevue. The number of times I've looked straight into the eyes of an employee and they seem to look right through me is pretty bonkers. When I finally flag one down (and I'm there with some regularity, so this isn't a one-time occurrence) they always seem grumpy about being asked a question. It's also fun when they make me feel stupid for not knowing something. Today, I was asking for some help on the right drill bit and screws to mount a lock box in concrete, and he looked smugly at what I was holding and told me I would need a different kind of screw, and told me roughly where I could find it, but that was the end of our exchange. No offer to help me find the right anchor. No question of what kind of drill I had -- just a snide "Well, you can do it if you have the right kind of drill."
I know Home Depot really caters to pros, but they don't seem to take kindly to amateurs. Honestly, if you know what you need, chances are Home Depot is where you'll find it. But if you're an not expert-level DIYer, and you need a bit of helpful advice, best to avoid this location.
