I hate to write a bad review but..
This was the absolute worst Lowe's experience I have ever had. It was a new store to us, we weren't quite sure of the layout. So, we asked for help to find all thread rod. The associate informed us that they don't carry such an item. We proceeded to try and better describe the item. However, the associate was firm in her position. We let her know that they did carry it as we have purchased from another location. We ended up walking away as we felt we were better off looking ourselves versus standing there debating and arguing with this person. Please if you work with the public and don't know the answer, just say so. To this associate's credit, the answer was found. The associate found us and took us to the right location.
Second issue of the trip was yet another associate. My husband was looking for a hacksaw blade. We were in the general area so we thought we would try again. There were 3 associates chatting in the aisle. We asked where the blades were. One associate looked at us as though we spoke a foreign language. The second associate looked up answered, "Yeah, they are right there on the left.". We proceeded to walk around this gathering of associates who were too into their conversation to move out of our way. Nope, no hacksaw blade in sight. As we stood there looking at where we were directed and finding nothing, the group continued to chat and completely could care less. By this time we were ready to get out of the store before it got any worse. So, my husband went on the hunt again for himself. He eventually found what he was looking for.
At check out, it didn't get any better. The associate was friendly enough. However, when he was ringing up the dirty pieces of rebar (rebar is less face it....dirty) he didn't want to get his hands dirty. I get that. He pulled out paper towels to grab the rebar. My husband asked him to put it in a bag. The associate proceeded to inform us that the bags won't hold the rebar as they are too heavy. We informed him we knew that but we wanted the dirty rebar covered so as not to get said dirt on the inside of our vehicle. As my husband and I discussed how best to put the long piece in the car without getting the dust and dirt everywhere (this is a 10' piece of rebar), we noticed a tie down station not more than 10' away in plain site. The associate never offered the use of the materials or even that we could help ourselves. Once the transaction was complete, we didn't exist.
So, I headed over to the said station to grab some plastic sheeting to lay on the interior of our vehicle. There was an associate standing there. As I approached and started to ask if I could get some, he turned away and then walked away. I proceeded to cut off a piece and went on my way.
We were completely and utterly disgusted my the genuine lack of customer service at this location that we will never go back. What a shame! read more
