Home Depot - Wicksteed Ave

I took an ad to Home Depot from a magazine that I had that advertised an environmentally safe salt alternative to make my walkways safer in the winter. The salesman was soooo rude. He kept walking by and saying in a minute. 20 minutes later I got fed up and used the phone (which I don't think is for customers) and dialed the "outdoor" sales no. as noted on the auto dial key. Guess who answered. He told me to wait again. By now there were 10 other folks waiting to be helped too! All he was doing was moving boxes around. All I needed was directions so I could find the product. He then told me over the phone that I should just stick to salt. One person changing to this stuff wouldn't make a difference to the environment!! Sooooo Rude!!! I went elsewhere to purchase the product and haven't bought anything at Home Depot since!
