I have been in there several times and just looked over the attitude of one of the ladies working in there because it is for a good cause. I work with the public and I know how hard it is to find people to really like what they do and treat customers fair. However after the incident This past Tuesday I will never walk through the doors again and I would never advise anyone else to. My Dad was purchasing some wood that was on a pallet, He couldn't load it and the woman said that they would not help and the pallet had to stay. My Dad told me that he was thinking very hard on how to get the wood. He thought of my grandson and he said that he would have to go get him to help with the wood. The woman made the comment again about the pallet. My Dad said that he just wanted the wood he didn't care about a Damn Pallet. The Lady Said Don't curse me. My Dad said Mam I am sorry but I didn't curse you. She proceeded to call attention to him. Embarrassing him, humilating him and told him to leave. Perhaps my Dad should not have said the word Damn. Perhaps my Dad should have not taken a few to many minutes to figure out how he could get the wood. Perhaps if we had not just burried my brother the day before who was killed in a car wreck my Dad would have been in the right frame of mind to put the woman in her place. But he didn't. He left with his head down low. So I will not go into the store again and look over the rude heartless attitude of some of the people that work there. Humanity. Is it like Charity and it should start at home. Perhaps lessons in compassion could be given. But I think that comes from with in. A business that is there to help others should treat each person that walks through the doors as if they are glad to see them. Any business should. But Habitat for Humanity should stress to everyone that they are there to help others and to treat people with dignity. What was going to be a project to help keep my Dads mind off of my Brothers Death.......thanks
