I said, "Even if I had called, you would have looked in the computer and
told me that you had 17 of them, wouldn't you?" "No," he said, "I know
that the system is a mess, so I would have gone and looked on the
racks."

Now the Lowe's app. does show that there are none in stock at my local
store. So if it gets synched so promptly now, how come they were out of
synch before (13 vs. 17)?

I've used the Lowes web site to finds things at two stores. Always
accurate. Also tells you the location. Maybe your store manager is the
problem.

But why does it depend on the store manager? Why isn't the system
automated? Why doesn't the quantity in stock shown on their Web site or
by the app. -- and let alone on their own in-store computer system --
update within minutes -- or less -- of a sale being made?

The maple plywood is not yet in stock again at that store, but I was
there yesterday evening to buy something else. The app. showed two in
stock, and that was the number on the shelf. I bought one and did not
think to check in the app. again straight away, but this morning it
showed only one in stock. So something is getting updated reasonably
promptly.
