I'm starting to do my homework for purchasing replacement windows and
I thought I'd start at the bottom just to get some talking points
down.

After I talked to the millwork guys at Lowes and HD, I asked if I
should come and see *them* should I decide to buy from their store.
(Just being nice.)

The Lowes conversation went like this:

- "Should I order from you? Do you get a commission?"
- "I'm not allowed to say."
- "You've help me with info, I'd like to return the favor."
- "Thanks, I'd appreciate that."

The HD conversation went like this:

- "Should I order from you? Do you get a commission?"
- "No, if you want to come in a see me, that's fine, but we don't get
commissions."
- "You've help me with info, I'd like to return the favor."
- "Thanks, but you can place your order with whoever is at the
millwork desk."

That certainly leads me to believe that the Lowes guys get some type
of compensation for the windows they sell. Anybody know for sure?
