Why Don’t They Just Pay Their Employees Better?

So instead of paying for good employees at Home Depot that will actually help people and not be jerks (which is why I primarily shop at Lowes locally), they’ve decided to create TV Show where Andrew Dan-Jumbo (yes, the guy from “While You Were Out”) shows up to help them shop and then helps them at their house.

I keep seeing news items on how Home Depot rips off customers who use their home improvement services, like charging for options that aren’t installed, or doing shoddy service and not resolving the situation.
I have also seen news items about handymen having their tools ripped off from their trucks by thieves when they visit Home Depot, which isn’t really their fault, but they don’t post warnings about it.
