This must vary greatly by store.  I spent a year working on various
home improvement projects, among which was the darkroom, and I had
consistently excellent service, advice, and pricing from HD.  It was the
specialty plumbing store that carefully instructed me to install the
backflow valves incorrectly and the specialty electrical store that
vastly overcharged for things like 4 gang switch boxes.  The HDs in
my area have tended to hire a lot of retired/unemployed tradesmen
in the past and these guys were a font of knowledge in answering my
dumb questions.
