As someone who worked at HD, it entirely depends on the mentality of the person that does the cuts for you. If you get the older guy that loves helping people then you'll probably be good. If you get the department head that has to help you himself because everyone else called out sick? You better ask for an inch bigger than your actual final dimensions.

Mid morning on a weekday is the best time to get the former. That's when the retirees work and it's after the early contractor rush.

Like I told another person for this project they did a good job. I asked for 16" and i got 16". This is a bench and it was good enough. And if a person didn't have a table saw it would be good enough over a hand saw. One time the guy asked me if I wanted to adjust saw before cutting - I was like sure and it was perfect too!
