In a recent Reddit post, OP shed light on a concerning issue that many customers face when shopping at Home Depot – the challenge of finding knowledgeable and reliable employees. In this gripping tale, OP recounts their experience with a misinformed employee at the popular home improvement retailer and the potential dangers that ensued.
As a frequent visitor to Home Depot for job-related supplies, OP has often witnessed employees providing customers with incorrect and, in some cases, hazardous information. The post begins with an alarming incident involving a customer seeking assistance in connecting their new hot tub. Unfortunately, the Home Depot employee, clad in their distinctive orange apron, was about to lead the unsuspecting customer down a perilous path.
According to OP, the employee suggested using a standard, non-fused disconnect typically used for air conditioners and an unspecified “yellow wire.” Recognizing the imminent danger, OP intervened and probed the customer for information about the hot tub’s electrical requirements. Armed with the correct ampere rating of the tub, OP swiftly guided the customer towards the appropriate wire size and a fused disconnect, essential for safe electrical installation.
