Two times now I have complained about employees on drugs and the related drug and alcohol refuse and the general garbage and filth around the area where they park and now around the store in general. Anyone who has worked with drug and alcohol users know they are very filthy people.
Home Depots headquarters is trying to correct what I have brought to their attention. They have told me they even have programs in place to help their employees with drug and alcohol problems for which I admire them.
They had the district manager call me and I had an extensive conversation with her. Unfortunately the conversation went nowhere and I finally ended it when she said she had no comment on the drug problem American business is concerned about. My entire conversation with her can be summarized in one word: denial. As Nancy Reagan said regarding drugs:" You are either part of the solution or you are part of the problem." I told her this and that she is part of the problem.
The next day I went to Home Depot and took pictures which prove all my assertions. The pictures also show that the debris people could trip over and hurt themselves is a potential source of liability for Home Depot.
While I was taking the pictures two young employees started to put the landscape logs in order. I asked if they had been told to do this and they said no. I told them I admired them for this and about my complaint to headquarters. One of the employees went into complete denial that any employee was a drug user. Having worked with drug users for years denial is always the sign of a drug user.
Hearing this I then left. As soon as I left the entire pile of landscape logs collapsed unto the exact spot where I was standing. I could have been seriously injured or even killed. The way they collapsed probably would have thrown me backwards with the back of my head impacting the concrete sidewalk.
I immediately took a picture. If you could see the picture of the employee looking at me you would have no doubt of what drugs have done to him. You are looking at a very, very scary person. He told me he had worked for Home Depot seven years and he is unable to safely stack landscape logs - that's what marijuana usage does - dope, and the picture shows what else it does - reefer madness.
Without menses-malice.
