Sales counter man told me he would not sell to me as it is a wholesale store and they only sell to registered contractors

I was on the way home from Home Depot after buying what they recommended to install a 220v breaker and outlet for a power tool. It seemed quite straight-forward, according to them. They handed me everything that I would need and I was on my way, a bit shell-shocked by the cost however. I texted a couple of friends from the Home Depot parking lot to ask if they knew of an electrical supply near me (I was on my bicycle) and they both recommended United Electric Supply. It was on my way home.I told Kevin at the counter what I wanted to do. He asked me a battery of questions. I confessed that Id already bought everything at Home Depot but they didnt ask me any of the questions that he did. I quickly biked home to get the info from the breaker box and rode back.It turns out that the HD associate sold me the wrong breaker. Really?! I mean were not talking garden plants or a window treatment but working with electricity!!Needless to say, I bought everything I needed at United Electric--for 15 dollars less!! Another Home Depot return on the way...

Kevin, who works the sales counter is always extremely helpful. This is one of the reasons I am a return customer. Good selection of in stock items and if they dont have it, they can have it by the next day.

Love shopping here. They always have what I need when I need it making my life easy.

Great people awesome service
