Home Depot's $350M Vow To Improve
I guess the customer service bug is catching on!  I just read about Home Depot Inc.’s (HD) $350 million vow to improve its stores and customer service.  Included in the plan is the addition of more workers, more merchandise, and call boxes for shoppers to contact a customer service rep when needed. 

With home prices going down there aren’t too many people heading

It's about time! I do a fair amount of hardware/home shopping and never shop the big boxes because of their crummy customer service. I remain skeptical that can change but we shall see.

Lewis,

Yes, it'll be awhile before we even see any true changes. Am I skeptical too? Yes, somewhat. I still think that big companies are all about the "bottom line".
