Holy Crap!

It's like back in the seventies when the Moonies came running up to you, all
smiling.

I don't think I passed an employee that didn't say hello to me. Sheesh, I
think I'll just go there on the days when I'm not feeling well, but don't
need anything.

I ended up spending $464, and all we went in for were sprinkler plugs and
wire nuts. Oh, yeah, took in a Eureka yellow POS $49 vacuum that was
worthless. Wifey found a nice new vacuum for $200. Rang up at $229, and
the manager came over and gave us a ten buck gift card.

It will be a long time before I hit the Big Orange again.

IMHO:

Ah you are now a part of the club. I like my lowes for a couple
of things. They seem to hire people with friendly attitudes. IMHO,
Big Orange tries to hire 'trades people', but I rather get an "I don't
know" from a lowes person to my question, than advice on how to burn
down my house with my family in it from an orange apron wearing fool.
Not happy with advice from people not actually doing the work.

Lowes rocks, plus they seem to hire younger people that move much
quicker when you need something.

Just my options....
