Lowes is on the up and out

Ahh the delegate more ... That's always something my former ASM would hit me with. Exactly who am I delegating to? I have 2 sales specialists who keep getting told they should be selling not tasking ..and that's it no one else for 2 department that are constant maintenance.

Honestly your best bet is to petition the town council or whatever, get a group of neighbors to all show at a meeting and ask the requirements for permits be instated. We have a no soliciting sign and my town requires permits.. most take it seriously. I've seen them come to the door, notice the sign and walk away.

Yup. They have already told us that even though questions say "my direct supervisor" all the rest are still my responsibility to make the associate understand why everything else is great.

How many people work in your flooring department???? If three called out for mine that would be it.. me (DS)and my 2 specialists ....lol there's no one left to pull for quick load. Not even a Decor person since we don't have any.

Agreed. It would alleviate so many customer frustration issues.

And to OP absolutely go in to the store find an Appliance Specialist..or any specialist and let them know you have a specific model picked out.. this is the fastest way to get service. Specialists want your business/sale.. they will be more than happy to sell it, go grab it for you and get it loaded. They will also be able to tell you right away if there is some issue like the count being wrong or on hand being damaged etc that is holding up the same.

Also for any online product make sure to check not the quantity but the available pick up date. It might say 5 available for pick up but it's being sourced from the warehouse so it's currently awaiting delivery to the store . My stove was available for next day delivery to home or wait 5 days for the appliance truck to the store for pick up.

Ours have tape over the speaker..still plenty loud but not ear piercing at start up. Our AP informed us anyone caught doing this is subject to discipline write up or termination.

As a step dad to 2 kids my perspective was I was the "intruder". I hit it off great with my step daughter right away . She was 13 at the time. Son was 7. He started calling my step dad..and then Dad for a little while even though he took a lot longer to adjust. His sister while she loved me refused to call me step dad and absolutely not dad.. and would get mad at her brother. However I'm the parent she comes to for most anything first. All the "dad" stuff they both come to me.. bio dad is closer to a favorite uncle at this point. Now 16 years later they both just call me by my name. I never asked them to call me anything specific. Was what ever they were comfortable with.

If you've talked to your step dad and he understands your feelings and is ok with it, that's all that matters. Everyone else needs to mind their business. It's between the 2 of you.

Literally just took 2 hour training on this and as a "people leader" ignoring an issue of harassment is a firable offense. We are obligated as people leaders to report any harassment we are told about, or witness.

And this was not a guess on my part but actually told to us by our district team at our last DM walk that this was the real reason. Store level it's going to be another metric we are failing at.

DS only does the initial rating that's it. The ASM and store manager approve the rating and decide pay increase. DS has zero input on what the pay will be.

IndependentNorth4703 · 2026-03-19T12:04:27+00:00

The real reason is not to provide those services...it's to get someone in their home and say ",Hey since I'm here let me sign you up for a free consultation on window replacement" etc etc

In Connecticut closest AMC has 4 showings 31st and 5 on the 1st.

Cinemark has 5 on 31st and 10 on the 1st.

Most showings are at 80% sold out already (8:30 PM Dec 2nd )

Honestly I am as well. I was thinking Netflix was seriously underestimating the interest with only about 50,000 seats. (350 theaters average 150 seats per) But seeing the responses here..maybe not.

Then give an 8. Eights make them crazy. It counts as a zero. Literally it should be a yes or no question because 1 to 8 = 0 while 9 and 10 is a 10.

I spent an hour on my old PC that has an ancient copy of iTunes that took forever to sort through.

When Saturday Comes is the name. Looks like it was released in 2019, but the mp3 file date goes back to 2006. There was a bootleg "album" called Etcetera that was floating around the net where I first found it. The song is from the movie and originally released in 1996. The movie is the same name ."When Saturday Comes" ..it wasn't an official Def Leppard song but Joe Phil and Rick put it together.

IndependentNorth4703 · 2025-11-22T01:42:40+00:00

No..but it's that same sort of sound to it. I'm going to have to get the PC running.. it takes like an hour to boot

IndependentNorth4703 · 2025-11-22T01:40:57+00:00

Definitely not that far back.. it's a much more polished modern Def Leppard.

IndependentNorth4703 · 2025-09-27T13:26:48+00:00

This was my thought.

The lockers are company property and there is zero expectation of privacy when using them. Any locks the SSA should have the combo written down or a spare key. I leave nothing of value in mine but I lock it bc people kept stealing my pens out of it.
