The store said it was forced to take action because of the increasing number of complaints from customers who reported being mobbed or harassed.
A Home Depot in Westchester County , New York, has reportedly hired guard dogs to protect shoppers from "aggressive" solicitors and thieves flooding its parking lot, the New York Post reported.The New Rochelle store reportedly employed two security guards wearing MSA security caps and bulletproof vests, with a German shepherd in tow patrolling the parking lot.
According to shoppers, it’s happening at several other locations as well.One customer told the Post how she had to pull out pepper spray when a person refused to back off when her husband told him that they didn’t need his help."I get it, you’re trying to make a buck," she said. "But when it becomes aggressive and harassing, there’s a major issue." A Home Depot spokesperson told Fox Business Digital that it has a non-solicitation policy at its stores.
