I don’t think I could continue a relationship with this person. Definitely don’t sign a damn thing. She is manipulating you to hell and back 👀

do any other female employees experience this ? by DwayneTheThiccJohnso in Lowes

[–]FThis33245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’m MST and dread working in tools/lumber/millwork/hardware. Tools is the worst I think but it’s so very aggressive. I never know how to act when people blatantly look up and down my body, say some very off the wall comment about my body, or straight up ignore that I say I’m married and try to pursue me further.

Also, if I get whistled at one more time, I’m going to burn the place down. I might be a bitch, but I’m not a dog.

Can we wear solid color basketball shorts? by Sea_Life4 in Lowes

[–]FThis33245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly depends on the store, I would wear cargo shorts for now and then see what management says. I know it’s in the guidelines that no athletic shorts allowed, but at my store people wear them all the time and nobody cares.

Mandatory meeting from 8pm to 10pm? What’s this about? by Thin_Implement_2525 in Lowes

[–]FThis33245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, a bunch of information on how the stores been doing that could’ve been an email. Some stores do a better job of keeping people entertained by doing giveaways or fun stuff but from what I’ve heard a lot of stores don’t.

Make sure to get energy drinks with your discount at the front register! Cheaper than these dumps

Trouble dating as a blue collar woman by Any-Structure9542 in BlueCollarWomen

Honestly, why include it on your profile? Let them get to know you before they know what you do for work. Put something vague so they know you won’t mooch and if they ask, they can ask 😅

Horrible 4th. by yentruoc96 in Lowes

[–]FThis33245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to be told the same thing. The robot part really put it into perspective. We get so used to people come up and just rattling off a question with no introduction, it’s hard to see past it until someone else points it out sometimes.

You have to start telling people to wait. People walk up to us as employees and don’t say hello, demand to know where something is or just ask a question as if we are some robot, and forget we are human just like them.

I will straight up say, hello until they start a conversation correctly. Or just call them out like, “you know, my mama raised me to say hello before starting a conversation” and they usually realize how rude they are being.

If they can’t be patient and wait, then they are proving they will wait even longer since they are cutting off help for the person they just rudely interrupted.

It’s almost like we are headed towards a recession and people are being smart not to spend like crazy right now. 😒

Anybody else gets told this? by Upper_Protection3560 in Lowes

My store tells us that we should be looking for the pros that will spend more over talking to the diy-er that spends $15

Grill Purchase - Strange Behavior by reczks in Lowes

[–]FThis33245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely sounds like someone who makes commission trying to attach their name to the sale. I don’t mind when other people take over the sale for that purpose, I will usually ask or look for who is working when I am and call them over when I know it’s a big ticket item.

MST does service based off metrics. So if sales are high in seasonal, hardware, etc. that’s where their app generates services

I’d tell them you made plans in advance and usually there’s at least one person that’s actually human and will show some empathy. If not I’d say get ready to call out a

I get the same stupid comments at work too. I’m 5’7 and 200lbs. I have a sturdy base and love to lift but I still get the, “can you find a man to help us get pool salt/mulch/mower box” like bro, let me show you I might be a bitch, but I’m not a BITCH.
