The store is really clean, and there were actually employees walking around being helpful. What I like about these sized stores is that you can find your way around and things are geared more to homeowner type projects instead of contractors or renovations. You want to come here for those smaller projects, or if you need advice on something in your house. I wouldn't come here to buy yards of topsoil or huge piles of lumber. For us, it was in and out in 15 minutes to buy a hose, some seed and fertilizer. Prices were good (be sure to check out their house brand - it was cheaper than the big brands), and I found the selection to be good as well. Oh, and they rent tools if you need them - especially garden stuff (like sod cutters or rototillers)

I am always greeted as I walk in the door. Today, I went for a screw and nut. I needed it for my holder for my bike. The woman working greeted me as I walked in.

They offered me to come back and pay, I was afraid i would forget. I shopped instead. I knew I probably needed more items. When I checked out, the woman asked me if I was going to put the phone holder on my bike now. I said yes, so she followed me out with a screw driver. The screw was too short, so she went in and got a bigger one for me. You don't get service like this anymore.

Stopped at the Menards in Grimes this morning. We needed a new wrench set, socket set, and can of…read morespray foam. I paid for the tools...total was $70. Ok maybe a bit high for small sets of those two types of tools, but, they are good quality, and I want to be able to depend on them. As always, I parked in a handicap spot just outside their "In" door. I knew I could come back out that same door, as I've done it before, and have seen others do it every time I visit a Menards. There's also a shorter walking distance from the handicap parking space to that door, so given the situation with my lower back, it should all make sense, right? Ooooh but no. NOT to a Menards worker this morning . We went through a check out lane to pay, and since the registers are clear at the other end of the store,...and since I parked at the opposite end, i thought I would "kill two birds with one stone" as it were, and return the courtesy mobility scooter and get it plugged back in, and then also exit through the same door we came in. A nice customer (coming in through the gate instead of the turnstile) held the gate for me so I could get the scooter back through it. I thanked him and drove the scooter back over to where it normally sits. Got it plugged in and started walking out. It was at this point we were approached by a lady with a Menards vest on, hair pulled back in a ponytail, who said "Ladies have you paid? Have you gone through a register with those items? We need you to exit through the registers." We both said yes and that we just came back down to this door from the registers. (Again, remember the registers are at the opposite end of the store.) I was about to add that we had parked just outside the "In" door and she interrupted... She says "Can I see your receipts?" We look at each other. shrug, and say "sure". We presented them. She looked them over carefully. Opened (without asking) the Menards bags, which were STILL being held by my spouse, and rummaged around. We had double-bagged the wrench and socket sets because they're heavy and we didn't want the bag to break. She says "Oh. I see. You double-bagged it?" We said "Yes, because they are heavy." She says "hmm. ok, here's your receipt (hands me mine), and here's your receipt (hands my spouse's receipt over.)" She then says (AS she's turning to walk away) "thank you ladies have a nice day". Neither of us responded. Now, aside from the fact that her attitude was a huge problem and needs to be taken care of by management...She *allowed us* the time to roll through the gate with the mobility scooter, get it plugged in, and start walking to the door, and THEN proceeded to accost us on the assumption that we were in the middle of a $70 heist of a 10 piece Masterforce wrench set and 21 piece socket set. She clearly saw me ON the mobility scooter. But either didn't have the ability to put 2 and 2 together and consider that I'm most likely parked in a close by handicap spot...or she just didn't care. I carry with me a copy of my doctor's letter which I submitted to the DOT as proof that I qualify for the handicap placard. Should I have pulled that out and showed her? Or should I be forced to explain to her that the distance from the "Out" door to my parking spot is greater than from the "In" door I came in through and now needed to exit through?!?! That would be absolutely humiliating. But, it's either that, or be made to feel like a common criminal, all because I needed a shorter walking distance to my car, and also wanted to return the mobility scooter to it's designated place and get it plugged in!! Screw you Grimes Iowa Menards. My back and I will not be back anytime soon. Enjoy the Yelp.
