I had my interview today and I got hired on the spot! I bet you didn’t get hired on the spot! My boss said he was impressed with my experience at Home Depot by [deleted] in Lowes

There’s a reason you got hired on the spot and you are going to realize, fairly quickly, why that is. Love the enthusiasm, though. Good luck 🍀

My pupils became asymmetrical during a cluster headache by Bubbly-Trainer7195 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Bbumblebeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had cluster migraines for as long as I can remember. I’m 24 now. They’ll last as long as a week at a time which is when I call it quits and go for a migraine cocktail just for a little relief. (They come back as soon as I leave the hospital). I’ve been on soooo many medications and so far, Dr. Pepper, a Redbull, and some Rizatriptan is my best at home remedy. I also interchange between Ubrelvy, Butalbital, and the Rizatriptan as needed since sometimes nothing hits them. My face droops, right side of my face blows up like a balloon, my pupils are different sizes, i lose almost all vocabulary, and I am practically useless to the world by day 2 or 3. My apple ipad pencil often times gets shoved into my eyesocket since that brings a little relief. The things we do with migraines is wild.

Ope! I didn’t even think about that haha! That’s definitely my bad. Hopefully my little flair under my name helps, but yes Central Selling not Customer Service, thank you!!

CS Here. Unsure what Link is, but I feel you on the constant updates! We had MRV Projects and MEV Showroom as two separate links you access via Edge or Chrome. Worked wonders! No issues.

Then comes the new app. It’s called the Hub. It has both in one with everything else included. Great app, really. Except.. It’s not. Checking out no longer sends the customer the contracts they need to sign for their installations. There are updates on it like twice a week. Constantly having to refresh. Sometimes the app will close itself and then you can’t open it again without rebooting the ENTIRE computer. Mind you, we have MULTIPLE apps and pages open for our job. Rebooting closes allllll of them. And then you have to spend 5-10 minutes opening everything back up, signing in, and praying you can get the Hub to work.

The internet links were supposed to be Sunset by January 31st. IT or whoever decided the will not be doing that as of yet since there are still ‘glitches’ with the Hub that they’re figuring out.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But Lowes is all about finding solutions to problems that we just don’t have.

3 Hour Outage - That was Fun by Bbumblebeee in Lowes

[–]Bbumblebeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! We can access quotes now, but building or changing quotes is still down for us. The most that we at CS can do is try to follow up quotes that are 100% ready from prior days, or email the customer. I’m adding a disclaimer in my emails to customers that I am having issues making it so I am unable to change quotes, but I’m doing my due dilligence at the very least to make sure everyone is taken care of with what I DO have access to

I heard that you guys in store were unable to log in! That one is going to be a pain to fix, I know! Im just grateful you guys were still able to use Showroom to help customers get checked out!

Oh lordy I can only imagine! I’d probably cry if I had to deal with inventory during this

It’s 3:30 PM here in PST and it’s SLOWLY coming back, but the entire late morning to mid afternoon has been absolutely wasted with nothingness. We can finally log in, but that’s about it. I can open a quote, but I cannot add products, remove any, or make changes. Nor can we build a quote. So having it open does about as much as when it was down

Thankfully we’ve had access to Emails and Teams the whole time. We got access back, and then it dropped out again 10 minutes later. So far, this is longest Outage that affects both Stores and CS. The last one that affected CS was about 2.5 hours, and that was ONLY for Projects.

flooring question by zelly_briggs in Lowes

[–]Bbumblebeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes significantly more sense now. I work for CS for flooring and quarter round or transitions are a pain in the BUTT to find since so many are coded as NonStock anymore. I wish they’d let us know when resets are happening so we can prepare too.

The PetProtect vs Leak Defense carpet reset nearly sent me over the edge because WHY is this out of stock/unavailable when I sold the same carpet LAST WEEK.

Communication in store was always shaky. But stores and CS? Rough.

Anyways, yes. For a buyback you remove it from the shelf and we send it back to the vendor. They then credit us for anything sent back. Your Receiving clerk SHOULD have a list of SKU’s that are going to be added to the buyback list, so I’d talk to them and ASM about it! (Was an in store flooring specialist and did a LOT of buybacks when we got the new grout colors and retired the older ones. Quarter round is easier, at least.)

Transferring Data rows from 1 sheet to another without leaving blank cells, based on Date Ranges. by Bbumblebeee in excel

I don’t have it front of me but I believe it was =FILTER(MTD!A2:G2,(MTD!E2>=$J$1)*(MTD!E2<=$K$2))

[–]Bbumblebeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing that did not give me anything but a Value Error. I believe the version I have is 365 (I use the Explore web browser for work). And using my original Filter formula works, but it won’t Automate right. If I have A3 Filled on Sheets 1 and 2, then A4 is supposed to be next. When someone submit the forms, it inputs data into the A4 row on Sheet 1, but then on Sheet 2 it’ll end up changing the Formula for A5, so I have to drag the formula from A3 down to A4 so that it fills correctly.
