You know why their sales are in the shitter? Because contractors have been going elsewhere. They’ve locked so much product behind lock-and-key, it then takes an hour to find someone to get it for you, and then you have to wait for that associate to zigzag through the store to bring it to the register, and then you have to wait while the poor cashier hands you three other people’s items before giving you what your items. Ain’t no one got time for that.

It’s 4 days a year, making them see what it’s like is a pretty good idea

Eh, with 4 days a year they’ll be essentially perpetual new employees who don’t know how anything works and who aren’t given any training or responsibilities because they’ll be gone tomorrow. Everyone will be on their best behavior and no one will tell them the ways they need to break the rules to get stuff done because they’re outsiders who are either management or might rat them out to management. This is a gimmick.

It definitely will take time for it to work, and it will depend on company culture (which Home Depot may have a terrible one, in which case even more time).
I do think it’s a good idea, but it’s got to be treated as a learning opportunity and not an opportunity for punishment.
If the companies serious, it’ll be helpful, if not… well then you’re right.

That's good but I'd prefer it to be longer, like one week as per the top comment. More time to pick up on the flow of a given store, sometimes you don't get all the unwritten rules all at once.
