Anyone else feeling the slow down at HD?

Hey everyone, just wanted to see if anyone else in the stores is feeling a noticeable slowdown recently. Been with Home Depot for a few years now, mostly in plumbing, and it feels like customer traffic has definitely dipped compared to, say, this time last year. Sales numbers seem a bit… stagnant, from what I can gather from internal reports. Not hearing any official word about layoffs or anything drastic, and my managers are still talking about usual seasonal hiring, but it's hard not to get a little antsy when the energy feels different on the floor. Is this just a typical retail lull, or are other departments seeing something similar? Curious if anyone has any insights or is feeling the same vibe. Trying not to overthink it, but it's definitely noticeable.

I've noticed it too, especially on weekdays. Seems like fewer people are doing those big weekend renovation projects right now. We're still busy enough, but the general hustle feels less intense than it used to be. Hoping it picks up soon, but honestly, it's just a feeling. Maybe people are just spreading out their shopping, or the economy is making folks a bit more cautious with their discretionary spending. Either way, definitely not as packed as I remember this time last year.
