Did they call in hazmat? I believe those long tubes still have a decent amount of mercury in them. I'd expect management at a place like Home Depot to freak out about something like that.
I worked in a record store years ago, and we got a box from corporate that was pretty bashed on one end. I cut it open to see what the damage was, and ended up with a snootful of white powder because it was a box of long fluorescent tubes and about half were broken. We probably should have called someone in to deal with that, but we were dumb and just cleaned up the broken glass. I think we even kept the box around and salvaged the unbroken ones. I probably got about half my lifetime exposure of mercury in the backroom of that store.
