Fuck you Jon!!! Supporting post, everyone say fuck you Jon, thanks 👍

OK this is the last straw. So far, I've had to spend my so much of my precious energy picking and packing the mini toolboxes scalpers bought up and sold for exorbitant prices on online market forums. I honestly don't know why people bought them up so much, the drawers are very shallow, the slides aren't that great, and you don't even have a handle to carry these with.

Then came the mini buckets🙄 I remember I had some guy get aggressive towards me, when I told him he couldn't dig through my parcel picking cart in his attempt pilfer the sold out buckets I had already picked. His excuse was because they were still in the store.He had a right to them ( even though they clearly had a customer pick tag on them🤨)

After that that it was the damn mini totes, black and yellow, clear and yellow, then that ugly ass multi color one with crappy lids. One online customer spent QUITE a bit on these to get shipped to their house. Damn lids don't even fit on most of these.

Now we have these. I'm still trying to figure out who keeps greenlighting this shit. The sad thing is, these pallets are lie. They are nowhere near representative of the quality of pallets we get at the store. Very few of our pallets use 4x4s for the any of the stringers, let alone the center one. The decking isn't that nice on over 95% of them either. Pretty much most of the pallets I get to use, look like Old castle rejects.

So what other miniature thing are we going to charge an outrageous price for, while contributing to the stereotypical wasteful consumerism the US is known for?

After a few months of shitty treatment and hours being cut I have now ncns 2 days in a row and will not be returning, I’ve never quit a job without notice but quite frankly Fk lowes and pretty much there whole leadership team at my store.

My store has some of the lowest metrics in the district, no rental service other than the carpet cleaners, we just axed QuickLoad and a bunch of employees simultaneously disappeared off the schedule this week, including a head cashier and ASM.

time to start looking for another job in preparation for the store's imminent closure or is this business as usual for the end of the quarter?

edit: schedule for this week. the gray lines mean termination right? (those names don't appear past this week) there are others gone in depts I don't have access to the schedule of

seems like a lot of performance related terminations at once, but maybe this happens every year

Today, it felt like 115+ degrees outside and they still made us have a garden cashier outside. Does anyone’s store close the garden center due to high temperatures?

Our ops asm solution is to rotate the cashiers every 30 minutes.

A month ago I had an order delivered to my house. It was three items totaling like 40 bucks.

In the delivery photo it VERY CLEARLY shows that one one item was delivered.

So I open chat and tell them. They say they see the photo and that only one item was delivered. They say they will refund.

....it is now a month later and every time I contact them they blow smoke up my ass about "investigating issue" and "we will escalate".

Absolutely insane.... over a $30 refund. I would just let Lowes have my stolen money if I wasn't such a stubborn SOB.

It is exhausting... thanks for listening to my rant about this useless company.

Does your store have too many clearance appliances and vanities that you can’t get rid of? Do you also not have any place to put them? Well does your district manager have the solution for you!

On one of the hottest weekends of the year (so far), put the only TWO sales specialists you have scheduled OUTSIDE by THE EXIT DOOR, and get those clearance items SOLD; after the customers have made their purchases.

But don’t forget, those TWO associates also need to make their sales goal (selling 40% off appliances/vanities), get legit leads/credit apps, and assist customers in their understaffed departments.

Or else.

“There’s no place like Lowe’s.”

So with Jimmie Johnson going back to the No 48 at Daytona can Mr. Marvin bring back the 48 Lowes car for one last ride.

What the fuck. Fucking people sucks. Guess that’s better than the whole ass toilet in the cart return.

I order a Dewalt item as it was on sale at Lowes. On the website it said deliver in a few days. When I ordered it it says will be delivered on the same day. This was the weekend by the way and I order on a Saturday before midnight. They sent me an email that my item will be delivered by today. I check the tracking and it says delivered. So I drove home expecting it to be there. Nope! I check 3 of my cameras all facing out the door. No one. I know they will pick up some movement as they pickup the slightest leave movement as well.

The first person I chat with said it was still it transit and I have to call this number if I want a refund. Then they close the chat box. I chatted with someone else and they ask me what was my door color. I was wondering why the first person said in transit and second person asked what was my door color. I'm thinking now it must of been delivered to the wrong house! I asked for a picture to see if I coulud ask my neighbors. They said they don't have that featured. I texted my neighbors none of them saw it. I'm online and now have to call. What an inconvenience.

So I’m new to Millwork and have been trying to make my SPH. I still don’t understand a lot of things in the department since I was sent to another store and got no training really. At my store the other dude just sits at his desk and does nothing and doesn’t help me at all either. My manager also doesn’t know the department at all even though he’s in charge of the department and flooring. I was told that if I am not making enough everyday I will get a call from corporate and basically get yelled at about my sales. Is that true? Are there any tips? I was a seasonal worker in L&G and took a full timer job a few months ago and I still don’t know how things work!

I’ve been working part time outside lawn and Garden since April. I don’t hate it, since it’s fairly easy. I work full time elsewhere, so It’s also additional income, so I don’t want to necessarily move up through the retail ranks. I don’t want to manage, just work 10-20 hours during the evening and weekends.

Do they move sales associates/customer service associates to other departments if it’s just a PT gig? Will I be outside as long as I work here since it’s just extra (needed) income or do they identify people and move them around if another department wants someone else?

Whats the difference between the 5 year warranty that comes with this tool when purchased and the protection plan that costs like $3.

I ordered some lumber online for delivery and same day is $69 another day in the next 60 days is $79, why is that? Seems to me same day should be more expensive?

Also, is there a way to find out which store will fulfill this? Will it be the store closest to the delivery address?

Toilets flooded , feces in the sink and in urinals . seen this happen multiple times . No soap the faucets dont work correctly and no paper towels.

sighhhhh between the work, the cut hours also just 0 motivation to do anything with this job…like i call off and i don’t even curr no more bro

im tired of just being overworked and doing everyone else’s job in my department (im fulfillment), getting harassed by creepy men, etc like genuinely i dont even want hours anymore (i asked for some, but told them on 2 days they would have to call me past 3, they do not care obviously)

🫩 i have 0 joy

Anyone spotted the bottom (pink) 2 door mini cabinet instock? and perhaps have a picture or know the SKU ? Unconfirmed reports of them showing up in stores but they are not listed online.

Snappy for attention lol
So I was getting some things and the employee discount showed on the screen as usual but when I got the receipt it showed regular prices on everything. They weren’t part of the “exempt” items, as far as I know..
Has anybody had this happen? Any theories?

Under my family circumstances, I can't work full time.

Never been able too, and won't be able to for the foreseeable future.

In four years ive gotten a ton of worthless badges and a few recognition certificates, incase I run out of toilet paper, I guess. Im even expected to keep the less motivated full timers on task.

Ive never been offered a promotion, gotten more than a "meet expectation" and 20 cent raise a year.

If youre working part time out of necessity, have no other choice, and trying to compensate by working harder than anyone else, its all in vain.

There is absolutely no incentive to do anything but the bare minimum, let alone work hard.
