This one star goes to the check out girl named Ashley. I shopped at this Lowes Foods all the time. Whether it be door dash , Indra cart, or in person. Usually I get them delivered because my husband and I own multiple businesses so I don't have much time to shop. But when I do go shopping myself, I use it as a "breather". Getting out of the house and away from our very busy businesses.
When I go to shop. I SHOP. But, I have OCD. Major OCD. So I like to do things a certain way and order that I respond well to without anxiety. So I always use the self checkout. There is no signs anywhere that says "--------- items or less" anywhere. Today was a busy day or Lowe's and I lost track of time. I had been shopping for a couple of hours and had to hurry and get home for a meeting that I totally forgot about. The lines were busy and self checkout was open. I pushed my cart there (as I always do), and I hear "uhhh maam, you can't go there. You need to come in this line" and she yelled it in front of all the long lines and everybody was looking at me like I had done something wrong. In all actuality, I had my Guinea pig, a 100oz drink, and a big huge purse with all of my work stuff in it in the cart, so I actually didn't have as much as she thought. But when she yelled and completely embarrassed me, she had a horrible attitude and rolled her eyes and made it seem to everybody like I was there to steal. First off, when someone has about $1,000 worth of groceries and other household items, THEY DONT NEED TO STEAL. It was outrageous the way she came at me in front of everybody. I've never had this issue before anywhere I go. When I scan my items, I take them out of my cart, bag it and put it in a whole new cart. But, I like to do it my way. In my order. And I didn't see any signs saying you had to have a certain amount of items or less to go to self checkout. I go to self checkout mostly so I am not holding up anyone or being a burden to the checkout clerk bc of my horrible OCD.
But, I wasted so much time in there, bc I ended up leaving without buying anything at all. They don't deserve my business whatsoever and I'll be going to Publix from now on. They don't treat their customers like criminals or embarrass them. They know if someone comes in about to spend $1,000 , they aren't there to steal anything. I hope Lowes does better with training and hiring people with more respect. If someone would've tapped me on the shoulder and spoke to me and ONLY ME about what they wanted me to do, that would've been 100% okay with me. But the way she handled the situation was terrible and extremely embarrassing. Maybe she thought I was "trash" bc I wore my comfy clothes today and had my hair up, and I wasn't in my designer clothing with my hair and make up done. She 100% stereotyped me. I know this bc I am normally dressed in my designer work clothes and when I go there and I've had more in my cart, many times, and was able to use self checkout without any problems.
Do better Lowes. These young kids don't know what respect is, I'd stay away from hiring too many. They will make you lose customers like me, who spend literally, thousands of dollars each month. If you do hire these young kids with no respect, at least put respect in your training course. Good luck. Sorry but, Ashley made y'all lose a great customer who spent a ton of money with you guys. And when I was leaving I spoke to the guy at the door who seemed like a manager, he was nice at first but then when I told him why I was leaving, he kept looking at my purse with all of my work stuff and wallet and many many keys and paperwork, trying to see if I was stealing hisself. He was smiling at me and it felt absolutely sarcastic. I have never stolen anything a day in my life. I am not trash who has to steal. I have my own money that my husband and I work hard for, and a lot of times I use it to help others and strayed animals. I am a good person and y'all made me feel like I was less then. I am extremely appalled and feel completely disrespected.
And even before I went in the store, I locked my car and couldn't get it open and my phone was in the car along with my cards. I went in and the guy from customer service came to help me and all he did was stick his arm in the window and pull the handle and I tipped him $15.I was so tired I didn't even think to do that bc this isn't my car.This is a car from our dealership I've never driven before. But people who steal, don't tip someone for 2 min of their time, or do they even tip at all even when they're supposed to. Ashley realllllly made me very VERY upset. You don't do that to people. She stuck her nose up at me when she yelled and then when I was leaving. She turned around like she was supposed to be intimidating me and watched me talk to the door man and watched me leave.I would say something really ugly, but, I am not that kind of person. But, she is far from someone who should stick their nose up at me. #Thallshallnotjudge read more
