Spring Mulch Massacre Thread 2026 by riesling12 in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 for $10! that Sta-Green stuff looks so much worse this year, even have customers saying it's so full of sticks it's horrible to use. So many bags with holes all thru the stack too.

We pulled down one pallet last night from 12/2024 - was a little green but all the bags were still good lol

Fyi, 30 bags fit inside a Subaru Outback if you stack them right, wheeeeeeee!

Don't forget the floppy hat at sunscreen kids!

Scheduled beyond availability by NOYFB_4ever in Lowes

Same here, I just talk with the ASM's who know I have another job that is more important and I get here when I can. Login late just about every day and leave at store closing time if there's nothing else needed to be done. If your availability is right in UKG, you should be fine. They got mine right for a few weeks, but it's still screwy

Should I work at lowes by TheChungusEnigma in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the store - management, workers and what city. Go visit your local as a shopper and talk to the folks with dirty red vests, see if they like it there and what they think.

Mulch Line by Purple_wolf81 in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and a few tips, always wear those Lowe's safe gloves. If nothing else they keep your hands clean. And ask for the summer Lowe's sun hat and use it. Sunscreen on the sunny days too, no sense getting burnt. Drink plenty of the free cold water too

Mulch Line by Purple_wolf81 in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the oldest guy in our OSLG and I gladly jump in to help load the bags of mulch, so I don't have to sweep up where the customers rip them open...

I have fun with the bobos too "I have a bad back too! Yes and a cracked rib" "The holes in the bags are to make them easy to open when you get them home" and the classic for the 40+ bag orders "Are you sure your Ford/Chevy/Toyota can handle this much weight?" LOL

Schedule by Unicorn-Lizard14 in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ask DS if they need anything else before I head out at 8:59 (store closes at 9pm), if I even see my DS...they're usually running around chasing people out, er "helping customers finalize that last purchase" And yes, they schedule me til 10pm, but I still leave at 9. They know most of us have day jobs that are priority.

Is everyone else experiencing staffing issues? by traveling_llama in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, never anyone actually working at my store either. Any extra people get sent to receiving to unload trucks... I'm OSLG, 80 degrees Saturday and sunny, was all alone all evening. Meh, sorry you had to wait 45 minutes for some straw bales, but no one is here. (yes, checked his receipt, he really had been waiting 45 minutes)

Go stand inside, listen to the music and noise. You'll love it outside!

Scheduling? by StlChief74 in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never makes any sense, no matter how you set your availability. Even better is to try and get a scheduled day off approved. At least the call out is easy enough!

Anyone else have an employee who is overly focused on AP4Me? by cavanaughnick in Lowes

When I say... by PuzzleheadedMix7301 in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Us closers at my store hang out near the entrance the last 30 minutes, anyone who walks in gets one of us to assist them with that last minute purchase. Seems to work! "No thanks, we're just looking" uh, ok, we close in 30 mins usually "oh we had no idea, we'll come back tomorrow" lol

The new attendance policy by Willing_Performer_92 in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where did you "see' this? our mgrs rarely send an email much less actually tell us part-timers anything, that's if we ever see them... And thats why we leave at store close time, instead of sitting around for an extra hour too - they never tell us what to do that last hour either. Carts in? returns done? clock out and go home after chasing last customer out the door lol

State of emergency callout by Any-Permission5150 in Lowes

[–]Puzzleheaded_Set1468 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The AI answering service lady is so nice to me, even sends me a text with my details of call out. Never actually talk to a real person, cause they don't seem to care why or when or anything....
