Home Depot has confirmed that it will not charge customers for parking.

The rumour originated from an article published by Pro Tool Reviews on April 1 .

The publication called this apparent change an "unconventional response to rising inflation," and even made up a fake Home Depot spokesperson, economist, customers, and angry social media users to "quote" Home Depot itself has since replied to multiple commenters to clarify the situation.
