had to go through about 75 boards to get 18 decent ones. The face the Lowe's workers were making while passing by and seeing the stack of crooked ones was great lol!

Why...because I wanted and expected to buy some straight boards. I stacked the crooked ones up neatly (out of the way) and even asked them if they wanted me to help put them back. What else should I have done? Just buy a bunch of crooked boards to work with?

Do you work at Lowe's?

I worked at a lumber yard during summers while I was in undergrad. Can confirm this statement.

As soon as a bundle of material is unbanded, the material which is near the top starts to bow. When idiots free up others and move them from the tightly-packed stacks in the unit by breaking the strips holding rows together, they are just creating more fricked up boards.

I hated dealing with the folks looking for two 2x4s and sifting through 50 or 60 to find two that were marginally 'straighter' to their eye than the others.
