Needed to move something heavy upstairs from the garage. Perfect job for my brothers from down south.

So, I pulled into the Home Depot parking lot and headed towards a tree that had 3 work seeking individuals huddled beneath it. As I approached, the 3 ran up to the car but then all of a sudden, there were about 18 of them swarming around, trying to open the doors, and talking through all 4 open windows.

Where the fuck did the other 15 of these bastards come from? Were they piled in the small truck that was nearby like it was a clown car or some shit?

The chosen 2 "worked" a total of 5 minutes. I gave them each an ice cold bottle of water and asked what I owed them. One guys says "Whatever you think is fair." At this point I handed each of them $20.00 and the other dude asked for 20.00 more each.

WTF man? You hang under a tree all morning, I pay $40 for a 5 minute job & give you water and you act as if I still owe you something?

Next time I'll stick with the Croatians down the street. They work harder, never complain, and charge less than they should.

I know..."Cool story bro."

Is there a part of the story you're not telling about how your home is an hours ride and so they actually spent the whole morning with you? If not, here's something to consider -

Maybe those two guys felt they were being overpaid already, as 20.00 buys a lot of rice and beans. And so they thought, why not try for more from someone who would pay $20 for 5 minutes work?

EDIT: Oh, and, next time negotiate your price beforehand. Only suckers wait til after the job and then ask 'how much'.

Wow. We don't have anyone hanging out near our hardware stores waiting for quick manual jobs like that...

Count your blessings before they end up headless in the desert!

:D

I've never seen this either. We have both a Home Depot and a Lowes, and I never see groups of anyone hanging around.

Yawn. Mr. tough guy has spoken.

Be sure and have Christina T post for you while you are away sucking dick at the show for hosting accounts. Kinda hard to send a fake nic in to do that. Oh well, at least that's one part of your business that you're actually good at.

I live 3 minutes from the Home Depot. You're probably right about their thought process though. I had already made up my mind what I was going to pay them before I even picked them up. Just wanted to see how fair they were. They failed that test.

I've been to quite a few Home Depot stores in different states. Never seen one that doesn't have some sort of manual labor workers standing around outside.

Mine is about 2 miles away. And yes, they have workers standing around.

This thread became beyond bizarre.

I should have titled the thread: "Home Depot Day Labor Workers: Guess the Race"

We would be on page 3 by now.

Pretty sure I have seen tents set up at Home Depot during the hot months so the day laborers can stand out of the sun and have a little shade.

Would it be PC for me to ask what Nationality they typically are in your neck of the woods?
