Home Depot Mexicans
 

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."

So your lifetime ban from GFY has expired? GFY is the new California prison system.

Should've hired one of them and exercised your own fat ass with him.

Excuse me? I've never had a lifetime ban from here. In fact, haven't had any sort of ban from here for probably 8 years.

Mexicans, Croatians...

What an asshole...

Sorry, please tell me the PC term for those from Mexico and Croatia.

Most of the Americans I know are too fucking lazy to work at all. They love milking the unemployment system almost as much as the Africans. :glugglug

Should have gun clapped em.

They should all be arrested and/or deported for loitering and/or being illegal immigrants. I can't stand the Home Depot Mexicans.

They should ban you, you're a fucking racist moron who picks fights with women. What a stand up guy! :321GFY

Let's hear Christina T's opinion.

This was my first time dealing with them. They moved the shit quick and didn't mess up my stairs or walls but I feel $40.00 was more than generous for what they did. I've been told by others that they usually charge $20.00 per hour.

I should have pulled the "Amazing Racist" thing and dropped them at INS.

It's not about nationality, it's about your fucking racism and how you feel like you're some kind of superior being talking about people like that.

LOL, You mad bro? :1orglaugh

Here's an idea, how about if you go handle some of those support tickets that people always bitch about?

I'm a racist because I hire immigrants for manual labor? Troll on cracka.

Talking about people like what? Saying they did the job, did it fast, and expected too much? OH GOD NO!!! What a horrible thing to say!

Seriously dude, start making some sense or shut the fuck up and get out of my thread.

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

Hold on....Mike needs to log out of his webair account and into the Christina nic...

Says the fat coward, no talent photographer with 10,000 fake nicks!

Your'e too much of a moron to ever effect me my friend. I'll leave you now to carry on with meaningless life. I have a show to attend...HOPEFULLY I'll see you there >;) :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

Whats up alias.

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'.

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

Sup supz.

Yawn. Mr. tough guy has spoken. :1orglaugh

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. :thumbsup

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.

you in phoenix? you have to live near the barrio. 35th ave and van buren or 32nd st and thomas the one on deep 43rd ave is one as well the land field on 35 th ave and lower buckeye

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. :winkwink:

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? :)

Could always pick up the yellow pages and take your pick from your local movers. Guarantee they'd have moved that thing in about the same amount of time but charged you their "minimum" which is probably at least $100.

Chalk it up as your good deed for the day and move on ;)

LOl, cool story, bro.

But seriously:

The local movers stole a bunch of shit from me and put this particular item in the garage when they were told to put it upstairs. It's been sitting in the garage for far too long.

You overpaid.

Here's how I do it....

Tell them about the job and the pay b4 they get in the car.

Get 3 workers.... fire the weakest one after 20 minutes of watching them work.

The other two will work twice as hard now..

At the end of the day pay them. When they ask for more and they always do every time BTW. I say no

for 5 minute jobs tho might be tough to do this

No doubt about that but on the flip side, the $40 was totally worth it to me to finally have it done. No way in hell I was gonna attempt it.

:1orglaugh oh man

What a way to rep a company.

Wow.

Fucking moron.

:2 cents:

Advertise on Craigslist. tell them how much and how long and where.Less hassle

Another Webair success story. :thumbsup

No shit. I moved out of a huge house outside of Toronto to a downtown apartment about 20 years ago. I rented a 3 bedroom storage unit to hold my stuff.

Six months later, turns out the movers had put SOME of my stuff in the unit I rented, and the REST of my stuff in some random unit that no-one could find. By then the movers were gone, as was my stuff... and that's how Storage Wars came to be...

Of course, the only southern brothers I have camping out at Home Depot are Americans. By AaronM's own admission, those fuckers are all useless and lazy. The movers might have lost my stuff, but at least they moved it... The funny is - they were Mexican.

so did you pay them $40 total or $80 total ?

if it was $40 its not that bad if its $80 they got you bad.

rubbing my hot balls

the 33 cents of water was a nice gesture but doesn't really make any difference in the negotiations of course

I see groups of them all the time at Home Depot, I always assumed they were just waiting for a ride to the jobsite.

nice to see people willing to work for their money anyways :thumbsup

Ok so let me get this straight, you hired some mexicans to move an item, discovered you are apparently racist and don't host with webair.

Did I miss anything?

Wow! What a class post from someone repping a company. Unbelievable. Now I do believe the negative comments about your customer service.

.

Good to know. I need a bunch of stuff done
