So I bought a Delta Shower door kit from HD a week ago. It came in 3 boxes, upon opening the glass box I noticed one of the large panes were chipped on the corner. So I did what any normal person would do and take it back to HD the next day.
They are large sheets of tempered glass (2 panes) and very difficult to carry both at the same time. I pulled my vehicle to the front of Home Depot. I walked in with the box and said I had some glass coming in. I gently removed one piece from my car and walked into HD with it. There were about 5 or 6 people in the front including 3 cashiers. I gently placed the glass down (leaning it against the wall). Suddenly it shattered into a million pieces. I was like WTF. The two woman behind the register screamed. One of the other employees said he saw me put the glass down and I was gentle with it. So anyway I had a few shards of glass that got stuck between the webbing of my fingers and toes. They were very helpful in getting me first aid. They were about to call hazmat because they were unsure if it was dangerous (there was a white dust cloud).
Anyway they all told me that this happened to other friends/relatives they know with tempered glass. Long story short I got my money back. I jokingly asked the guy can you help me with the 2nd sheet of glass in my car. They all looked at each other like OMG. He came out with gloves and we handled this thing like a bomb, he walked into the store with it. He was the one that saw me put down the first piece. I would imaged he kept walking in a straight line to the back of the store and threw that shit in the dump. LOL
