Part 2- After a little more back and forth, "Wendy", with another new guy at the computer, come to the "conclusion" that I hadn't ordered it in the first place! Oops! Must have been dreaming. But wait! Wendy, how is it possible that you have could have pulled up my name and credit card information when I gave you my phone number??? Weird. At this point, after close to an hour breathing next to un-masked Lowe's folk, I'm so frustrated that I don't even call her on her obvious lie, and make a slight scene, and leave the place. She obviously sold it, I told her. They made no effort to reserve it like I had asked. They didn't put my name on it, like I had asked (and been assured). I'll bet they didn't even check to see if there was even one back there. So now I'm leaving Lowe's in Monroeville empty handed after driving 45 minutes one way, standing in line for an additional 45, blood pressure probably through the roof at this point.
Ahhhhh....almost home, I think. About after a half hour drive back, I'm out of Monroeville and getting back into the country. But no. Just as the beads of sweat on my forehead are drying up and I'm putting this fiasco behind me, I get a call from...you guessed it...Wendy!! "Yeah, sir, I can't tell you how sorry we are, but the truck with the freezers just arrived". (Uhh...B.S., Wendy. You told me yesterday that you had 4 in stock--never mentioned a truck or a delivery. I of course didn't say this, but this would be lie #2 if you're keeping track at home.) She was the last person in the world I wanted to talk to at the time, so I told her I would call her back after thinking about my options. She was very apologetic and nice on the phone, so after considering forgetting the whole thing, picking the freezer up in the morning, or just driving back and grabbing the dang thing, I decided to just turn around. So I called and asked to have it ready and I would be there in a half an hour. (Hour and 15 on road so far).
I get there expecting a freezer with a bow on it and a half dozen guys to load it in my car. Nope! I FIND THE EXACT SAME SITUATION that I had just escaped from. Exactly the same. (I even think a few customers were still in the same place in line).
I gotta go....long story short, absolutely terrible. I would never spend this much energy on a review if It wasn't. Come to think of it, this is the first review I've ever done. Just don't go. Ahh..I spent another half hour to 45 minutes in there waiting for someone to get it from "the back". I then bypassed any sort of Lowe's employee, put it in my car, and took off for home. If there had been any liquor stores open during this virus thing, I'd probably have stopped at 2. Don't GO THERE!!!!! read more
