I do not write reviews so this one is a MUST READ B4 you shop at this store!!! This was some of the most horrible customer service I have EVER SEEN. There are a FEW customer oriented employees throughout the whole store! I had the manager of a lawn and garden dept. by the name of Aaron try to charge me full price for 1/2 blocks "because they were supposed to be part of the display for next year and someone put them out on the floor for sale. when I would not go for that and asked for the STORE manager, they routed me to an ASSISTANT manager that tried to pass herself off as the person I asked for. She proceeded to only try and give me $1.00 of each one ( that again was only HALF the size of the original blocks. When I insisted they should be closer to 1/2 off she said she "would help ME out this ONE time but that they weren't supposed to do this" and gave it to me for just over 1/2 price. It gets better as I am going in the other doors to go out to the lumber yard where my husband was picking up the lumber we purchased ( with no help at ALL from ANY employee mind you) I see this woman with a small child go into the store ahead of me with a small child in one of their "car buggy's" and the gate was not open, she tried to fit it through the like people counter bars that you would see at the theme parks but it wont go.( The girl at the customer service desk sees this happening) This woman looks over at her and asks for help, the girl tells her " Oh no, it will go through there just try again" ( meanwhile there is a latch gate right next to it that the employee could have opened to let her through with her small child... but did not lift a finger to help her. I turned around went to the other side of the gate and hit the latch to let her through the entrance!. The employee at the desk still stood there watching and did NOTHING. Then I finally make it back to the lumbar area where my husband is to find out the "decking" he just purchased looks like nothing more than rough-cut slab wood or scrap lumbar!. When I go BACK in to the order station in the lumbar department, there is another customer that is standing there obviously not happy and the customer says to me out of the blue, "I will never come back here again, I'll stick with Lowes and Home Depot, this is ridiculous", The poor girl at the desk doesn't really know a thing about lumbar at all ( she was filling for someone's break), but that I do need to go ALL THE WAY BACK UP FRONT AGAIN ( this will be the THIRD time now) to get this handled. So, I ask her where I go to lodge a formal complaint about the store above the manager Sarah I had already spoken to, then she proceeds to tell me that Sarah is an assistant, not the manager, but that the actual store manager is standing at the desk in the next department over. I go find him, explain all these things that have happened within the last 45 minutes of being in his store and he simply looks at me and says" well I am sorry you feel this way mam" there was a long pause ( me waiting to hear what else he was going to say... but yea that was IT. So I said, That doesn't help me at all in regards to the debacle of customer service no- no's. He (I think his name was Bill, but am not 100% SURE). Anyway he then says " well maybe we need to look into some more training ( again I wait... but that was ALL he had to say). I honestly cannot believe a store could get away with treating the very people that contribute to their paychecks and the very reason they even HAVE A JOB!!!!!!!! Trust me the few cents or even a dollar off what you would pay at the higher end chains ( I cannot even believe I am referring to Lowes and Home Depot as " higher end" right now...anyway, the little extra is WELL WORTH it even for their standard to customer service ALONE. Save the headache, be treated like you matter and go elsewhere!!!!! Menards guest services 7158762868 fax read more
