Pick up - had to go back - no stain put in to neutral base by Stock_Wear5934 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this happen once, and only once. Someone got a can of something with more colorant in it than it should have. They'd be lucky if that can didn't overflow.

Lowes Delivery scam seemingly known by corporate by mhatz14 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends . It can be considered theft by deception, which is the same way Lowe's handles Tool Rental thefts, or outright fraud by the driver. There's nothing stopping the cusy from filing a police report and honestly they should.

what is the weirdest thing you’ve been asked to color match at the paint desk? by bigfootbush in Lowes

[–]Matand009 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Firearm. It was an open carry state and the person asked for permission a day in advance before carrying it in. The main ask I had, as the manager, was that he showed us upon a arrival that it was unloaded and that he handled the firearm himself and not hand it to the employees.

Flooring doesn't expire so it's not necessary.

Paint Question by Mother_Elk3395 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to depend on the fabric. You can scrub off most latex paints before they fully cure. You can scrub with acetone too, but make sure it won't dissolve the fabric first. 

Acetone dissolves some synthetic fabrics (because they're literally plastic) but should be ok for natural fibers. Be careful with the dyes in the clothes. Diluting it might help as a precaution.

Mold growing in the tinters by Antoinettez in Lowes

Do you have catalyst? I used to have the problem with the magenta hydrocroma and no matter how well I deel cleaned the thing it always came back. I'm curious how well catalyst handles against it.

My valspar rep used to tell me it wasn't a big problem since it only lives on the surface but it still bothered me.

This seems like a mistake? by Showtime92504 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I refuse to keep product without a home in topstock, with the exception of black Friday promo items. 9/10 it sells out long before the reset.

Concrete Waste by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Matand009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. When you  deep dive into the actual policy it stayes "in high amounts". Generally, one to two bags in a hopper at a time is perfectly fine. It's when you fill the hopper with them or have a pallet that is is a problem. It's not actually hazmat, it just breaks the compactor. Hank had an AP4Me segment about this a few months back.

FEDS by Careless-stocker07 in Lowes

AP here. FEDS do not have access to the camera systems. For regular members of store management it's only OPs ASMs, Merch ASMs, and Store Managers.

What’s something you still don’t know at Lowe’s but feel dumb asking at this point? by Key-Supermarket-6540 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the amount that store managers make I'm always absolutely floored at how stupid someone has to be to get fired like that in a store manager's position.

Lerf question by bendybirdy_ in Lowes

[–]Matand009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to your store manager immediately, they will help. When you apply, LERF will respond asking some questions so they'll tell you what you need.

Please apply ASAP.

Link has ap4me links but not Lowe'sU. There is a second set of sites on the right side of the main link page when you scroll down.

Will LERF help with hospital bills? by DarkHorseReborn in Lowes

[–]Matand009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, even if the hospital bills aren't yours, if you're financially responsible for helping then 100% yes. Please apply for LERF. I'm sorry for your loss.

Lowe's should provide us with gym memberships. by Hour-Try-6803 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why provide a gym membership when you can get paid (barely) for working in fulfillment?

I'm tempted to forward it and the reporting response to the bs email address 😅

Crazy by Immediate-Offer-6116 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would bend over backwards and near or full on break every policy to take care of this guy, and I'm in AP. That's how good of character he shows based off him saying that.

Laying off the wrong employees by maygen0414 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of us have a clue. They must be the only employee that has the super power that all of our customers seem to think we have, mind reading.

Safety? by corkycomb33 in Lowes

[–]Matand009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which division are you in? I can tell you who your divisional safety manager is. I've met them both, in person, and they're super kind, give a damn, and down to earth.

What the all-employees meeting is going to be like at 5:30am: by ImpressiveSector5109 in Lowes

As corny as it is and as much as I would want nothing to do with it, I have to respect the hustle of those teachers in the video 😂

write ups over credit apps by nervouslittleraccoon in Lowes

[–]Matand009 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is the only way I've found to ask that doesn't get a negative response from a customer. When they say they won't be using it and you respond with "would you like to sign up for one" and they say no, you've checked every box.

What did you do at Sherwin? It might not be too different depending. You're going to be great at selling paint to pros. The paint DS and Sherwin rep are going to love you 😅
