They make like $9.50/hour. What do you expect?

I put in some years for Lowe's & still know people that work there. I can assure you there are zero employees making $9.50/hour. Starting pay is $14/hour and specialists are making something like $20/hour. I remember thinking I found a gold mine job, getting hired at $10/hour there like 15 years ago.

Some of the dumbest people I’ve ever encountered have been Lowe’s employees tasked with facilitating renovation projects

Do you pay extra for this service or is it "free" with the purchase of materials? If it's free I'm not really sure what you expect. Pay someone that knows what they are doing (and gets compensated for it) and save yourself the headache

When they get fired from Lowe’s for being useless, I think they go to work for the government.

I had to call a state office yesterday and I say about ten words, and the guy says the address is on the top left of your document.
I said, what?
He says, wasn’t that your question?
No, I haven’t asked you anything yet…then he got an attitude.

The DMV?

Granted, it's probably a dead heat, but they are definitely a contender...

Popeye's
---Oh yeah, Popeye's for the win. "We outta chicken"

That's why I go to Ace. There are tons of helpful knowledgeable people working there. It's a great experience every time.

It's OMV now. Buddy of mine testified Monday in B.R. oversight committee about a problem he had with OMV. He moved to Ms. from La. years ago, and changed his car insurance (Flo) from La. to MS., same insurance, just different state. When he told his insurance co. in La. he was moving to Ms., they said he couldn't be covered. Still had his La. license, just changed his address to his mothers house cause he's on the road alot back and forth with both of his sons living in south La. He goes to renew his license, and the OMV tells him he has a flag on his license, no insurance. He begs to differ and goes out to his truck and retrieves his insurance card. The OMV says they don't care, he owes the La. 500.00 to re-instate his license. Since covid all re-instatement is now directed to B.R. OMV. Called several times and spent hours waiting to talk to someone. Talk about some crooked shite La. lawmakers and insurance co's. cooked up.

I got so mad at Lowes about a year ago I wrote them. told them I rather have 60 year old men that wanted to work helping me than a bunch of 20 & 30 year olds that knew nothing and acted like I was disturbing their cell phone calls. I went back about 3 weeks later and no there wasn't any old guys working but the attitude of the employees were 180 degrees different. I guess others complained also. (I also noted an assistant manager was the worst one, maybe they came down on him and he straightened up everybody. )

For the most part I agree but whether you're a Lowe's fan or HD fan it depends on the location....I've had good and shitty encounters from both stores.....currently I'm protesting Lowe's

I laugh when you see people buy lumber packages from Lowe’s or HomeDepot and think they are saving money vs a lumber yard. Lol!!!

Good luck getting any commodity lumber lengths over 18ft.
Trim comes in 8ft pcs where you have to splice everything.
Window packages are typically screwed up as they are ordered wrong.
Door packages good luck.
Lol!!!!

HD and Lowe’s are only good for if you know what you want, where to find it, good luck checking out, and are doing small projects.
