Can I sue Home Depot?

Their latest sales circular advertised a sale on hos, but when I got there, all they had to show me were these metal garden things with long wooden handles.

Can I sue for false advertising?

Just for entertainment we were shopping there the other day and needed some caulking for our black bath tiles. Needless to say the store security found it less than funny when my buddy, doing his best Tourettes impersonation was wandering around the store sayin " Can somebody help me find some black cock?" "I need me some black cock"

Since "false advertising" falls under the Lanham Act, only a direct competitor (not a customer) can sue them under the theory that false ads are "unfair competition".

I've seen your hoes. You are no competition for Home Depot, no matter what they are selling as a substitute.

Probably not. They probably have a disclaimer somewhere in the advertising saying it's only at participating locations. Even if they don't, you can technically sue, but it wouldn't be a very big lawsuit, and your legal fees would be more expensive than what you could get from them IF you win - but they have the extra money to hire good lawyers, and would rather spend money on lawyers than paying you off. Sorry!

If somewhere on the card or in the paperwork it said something like "Home Depot is not responsible for lost cards", and it probably does, you're out of luck. They didn't lose the card, YOU did.

ROFL, Brilliant.
To answer your question I think that you should look for Sue under the Liability Act. She may be able to help you ho, ho hold the payments until you have found Leon's. :)

I So hope that you have Leon's Furniture from where your from, if you do you will understand the advertising pun. :)
