Can't believe I'm about to defend HD. If you go during 10 and 2, its power hour, so we aren't allowed to do anything besides annoy the customers or as the managers say "attack and tackle the customers". But I absolutely agree its annoying, I hear about it all the time from customers, which is why I just say hi and nothing else. The day we don't have to do that, is the day I start to celebrate for a long time!
