Manager John Is Angry and Poor at Customer Service
I purchased an outdoor umbrella that was clearly advertised as $249, but rang up $349. Renee at returns/help couldn't do anything to help me saying that it must be mis-marked and people move signs all the time. She called a manager (John) to handle the situation. From the onset John was not pleasant and spoke very patronizingly to me. John pointed out that the tiny SKU written on the bottom left corner of the sign didn't match the SKU of the box I'd purchased. I pointed out that all of the other boxes in the stacks had varying SKUs (none matched the sign's SKU) AND that the sign notes that the $249 price is for "ASSTD. SKUs". I calmly asked him to explain what "ASSTD. SKUs" meant. Hopefully clarifying if I was wrong for reading it as "Assorted SKUs". Additionally, all of the information on the sign is the exact information that is on each of the boxes of varying SKU'd umbrellas. At this point he ripped the sign down and said it's no longer priced at that and told me to go return the umbrella that I purchased. He said that there was absolutely no way he could do anything about the $100 price discrepancy and he stormed off.

    Better selection of cordless tools than other Home Depot’s. Also fliers promoting tools on my wish list.

      Eats at Home Depot
      A few years ago there was a food truck at HD Encinitas. The food was great, the proprietor friendly, and I would eat there with other shoppers. I think it was a great service.

          Not enough customer service
          Self checkout backed up. Extra assistance for spray paint was ignored

            Great Employees
            Each time that I need help or have a return, the employees are really helpful and friendly. There is a good selection of products also.

              Hardware department is super helpful.
              The help, knowledge, and positive attitudes of the hardware section really helped me get the tools I needed to get my job done.

                Very helpful
                I am an older woman and needed help with a heavy purchase. Several employees offered to help me. I was extremely pleased. In Gardening, the checker, Phil, was able to make my purchase even easier for me and offered to get me help for loading.

                    Not the best.
                    The parking lot is a mess and full of illegals.The garden center is very good, but the checkout times are long. The self checkout is not in the middle of the store so you gotta walk a couple hundred yards if you in the wrong side.

                      GREAT STORE
                      I love shopping at the Encinitas Home Depot as it generally has anything I'm looking for and if I can't find something, I can usually find someone to ask and they are MOST helpful.

                          Bobbie at the pro desk went above and beyond with helping me order everything I needed for my bathroom facelift. She is a true asset to the Encinitas home-depot team.

                              Great store but no help In the garden area.
                              I don’t have time to type out the whole scenario. Garden center sucks at this store. No help.

                                Worst store I have shopped in
                                There is never anyone available to help. They always seem to be having little meetings in the aisle between employees and act offended if you want help.

                                      HD A QUALITY STORE
                                      Bought a $2000 GE built in wall microwave & oven and it heats up the kitchen 10 degrees as both ovens vent the heat to the front so it is like standing behind an A-Bomb and the microwave incinerates everything & can be used only on Defrost. HD should replace & not sell these.

                                        A lady working in the garden shop was just wonderful. She was younger and wanted to help me find the right plant.
                                        I've been in that garden shop many times in Encinitas. But this employee was absolutely outstanding. She's a younger blonde lady and said this was her first day back at work and believe you me I could not have been happier because she helped me and she made it very nice experience to shop there.

                                          I LOVE the Encinitas Home Depot store. I not only get help when looking for an item but they are all so pleasant and knowledgeable.

                                            Store appearance changes.
                                            My wife and I shop for items here all the time and I was pleasantly surprised at the new checkout area and system. I asked a question of one of the checkout assistants and they were happy to answer, even though it was busy at the time. I like the handheld 'technology' they all carry with them so they can check for inventory and location when asked.

                                                “Jim” (in plumbing aisle and on phone) was terrific helping me confirm stock on a specific water heater and two helpful “returns” personnel, one lady with more experience and a newer employee staff member that needed a little more help and guidance from her did a fabulous job processing a Rheem warranty 40 Gal Premium water heater replacement. They worked well as a team together to serve my needs effectively and efficiently.

                                                            Awesome , knowledgeable employees
                                                            I had the trifecta with the possibility to ruin your day - a return , a purchase and a pickup of an on-line order. All 3 were smooth. This may be politically incorrect , but it seems like HD hires older experienced employees who really know what they are doing. One of the items I was buying were new window blinds for a rental. I brought the old blinds with me so they would be cut to match ...but forgot to measure the height. OG who cut them for me knew to count the slats to determine how long I needed them to be. While cutting blind #5 , the machine jammed. I thought oh **** , now I'm going to have to go and come back another day. Nope dude opened the machine , found the problem and re-set it in under 3 minutes. Awesome.
