Was in there earlier. Hand written dayglo green sign by the mailboxes &
posts"

Do not any
pacages.
Ask for assistance!

No, I didn't leave out "open" and that's how packages was spelled. What
puzzled me was how Mr. Spelling Bee got assistance even close!

Ok, was in quickly last night. Went by that sign again. Moved and
rewritten. Dpt mgr must have seen the screwup and redid it. Now says

I had the misfortune of having to go in one today with a friend that
had a HD return credit card and he needed to spend the $10 bucks
before the time ran out on the card. We left a Lowe's where there
must have been around 200 vehicles on the lot plus lots of commercial
account side traffic and on to HD where I actually counted 22 cars and
one pickup on their lot. My friend found an item that cost a little
over the $10 on the card and went to the checkout. The item, a pack
of masonry bits, did not have a bar code on them and the checkout girl
(associate) had no idea what to do. After going through 3 people
(associates) and backing up a line at the only open checkout of 5
people (they never opened up any more checkouts????), the store
manager finally got involved and he didn't know what to do either so
he just took the card and said lets call it even to my friend.


I'm in Phoenix and live close to a Lowe's and a Home Depot, and the HD
is a lot better The Lowe's employees are hard to find and usually
clueless, and it took three of them to locate the air conditioners --
in July. OTOH when I went to HD for a tiny electrical part, someone in
the garden dept. knew exactly where it was located at the other end of
the store, including the elevation. This Lowe's also makes a lot of
pricing mistakes, the last time for a paint stirrer, a product they
didn't recognize.

This is one of those floppy orange cards you get when you return
something without a receipt, or after too long a time???

I didn't think they expired??
