Did you happen to mention this to the store manager?

- I just came home from a Menards store. I needed to buy another
- livestock watering tank. The store only had one 70 gallon and one 100
- gallon tank in stock. Both were stored outdoors. The temperature is
- zero today. I decided to take the 70 gallon one, paid for it, and
- went outside to the lot to get it. Now. you tell me why they had them
- on the shelves with the OPEN side UP. The tank was half filled with
- ice, and it took 3 guys to get it off the 5 foot high shelf, and load
- it in my truck with all that ice in it. I am now running a stock tank
- heater inside of it, (still on my truck), so that I can bucket out the
- melted ice and unload the thing. WHY, WHY, WHY don't they put them on
- the shelves upside down? It don't take a rocket scientist to figure
- that out????
-
- It's a good thing I didn't buy the 100 gallon one. That one was about
- 12 feet up on the shelf, and since it did not have other items above
- it, like the one I bought, and was on the top shelf, I have a feeling
- that one was entirely filled with ice. There is no way we could have
- lifted that.
-
- This just makes no sense to me. Even a complete moron should be able
- to figure out that they should be stored with the OPEN side DOWN. I
- am not cutting down Menards, I do a lot of business with them, and am
- generally satisfied with their products and customer service. But
- this is just plain assenine. If I weren't for the fact that I needed
- the tank immediately, they would have lost a sale, and I would have
- gone elsewhere to buy one. But then too, could I have found one?
-
- This brings up another gripe of mine. When the stores are full of
- Christmas items, and I mean ALL stores, they dont stock "normal"
- items. Last week I was at Walmart and decided to buy another garden
- hose, since I had one break. I bought a hose at Walmart during the
- summer and found it to be one of the best hoses I have gotten for the
- price. Well, I was shocked to find they did not have one single hose.
- I asked the clerk, who had to call the manager, who said they do have
- them in storage, but can not get to them, until all the Christmas
- merchandise is gone. Well, excuse me..... I have nothing against
- Christmas decorations, but my animals need water 365 days a year.
- They dont stop drinking at Christmas. I also use my manure fork all
- year round, as do I use shovels and other yard type tools. If I break
- one of these, I need to buy another, and can not wait until all the
- Christmas decorations are put away. Even the local farm supply store
- is lacking in farm items, but well stocked with Christmas decorations.
- They were out of electric fence gate handles the other day, and those
- things break more often in winter due to ice, than any other time of
- year. Yet, not a one in the store........ This is very inconsiderate
- to their customers and it really ****es me off !
