I try to be an anti-Karen, but I had a very negative experience this Lowe's yesterday. It just really rubbed me the wrong way. I stopped in to get a few small tomato plants and saw a big sign for 2 for $10 Miracle Gro Brilliant Blooms Petunias. Well, petunias are my 100% favorite flower to put in my gardens. I couldn't believe the deal because these were rather large bloom hanging baskets. But underneath were just some vegetables and no other petunias were in sight. I grabbed a set of speckled petunias and a set of yellow petunias. I double-checked their tags and they were in fact Miracle Gro Brilliant Blooms. Just to be on the safe side, I took a picture of the sign. I went to the cashier. I told her that I wasn't for sure if this could be a pricing error or mistake. I know the prices of flowers pretty well and I couldn't believe these would be marked down so low. I showed her a picture of the sign and the image of the row of these hanging baskets. She proceeded to tell me that Lowe's was having an extremely good sale right now and they were definitely marked down. Then, she grabbed a sales paper and verified that these Miracle Gro Brilliant Blooms were in fact 2 for $10. I was tickled to death and couldn't believe my luck. I told her I'd take them in a heartbeat. When she rang them up, she said they were ringing up wrong. So, she went to the second cashier. He told her to override it. So, she tried to override it and it required a manager to come authorize. So, she conversed with the second cashier and he asked me to take him to the sign. I took him over to the sign. I showed him the whole row of petunias. He said they were definitely mislabeled and took the sign down. He said someone must have seen that these were Miracle Gro Brilliant Bloom petunias and just put the sign up, not paying attention to the size of the baskets. However, he said that I should be able to get them at this price because it wasn't my fault the sign was wrong. So, I was like "Cool, as long as I can get these puppies at $10, I will be one happy girl. This will make my day. I'm pretty easy to please." So, he tells the other cashier to to ahead and ring me up. I'm so happy at this point. I LOVE petunias and I honestly just came in for tomato plants. I also apologized to her for this whole time-consuming experience because I didn't anticipate for it to take this long and for employees to have to walk with me to verify signs and this and that. So, she said she just needed to call the manager to have her override the price. I'm standing there, hearing this whole conversation by the way. The manager refused to come do it. She didn't even bother to come over to the home and garden section period. It was just a flat out no and that she didn't have time. She said it didn't matter what the sign said. The girl gets off the phone and apologizes, saying the manager is in a "mood," that she gets into these "moods" sometimes, and that other managers would have done it for us. I'm not mad at either cashier. They both went out of their way to accommodate. But I thought this was incredibly rude of the manager. I thought it was extremely poor customer service of her to not even inquire about this issue or make an effort to come to the department. Especially since so much time had been involved in this. It's probably going to be a while before I even go to this Lowe's location again because this manager really ticked me off with her lousy attitude, not only towards the situation, but also towards the cashiers themselves. She shouldn't have acted crappy to a cashier who was just trying to do her job. There's good people out there in the world who actually try to be decent human beings and show kindness, so don't treat them like garbage. read more
