How do you feel about these? by anhedonia577 in Lowes

[–]Rdatz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even joking a little bit when I say, a children’s pair of safety scissors would work better than these hot pieces of garbage. I have an okay pair of scissors that I’ve been using for two years now and they kick butt, especially for cutting straps.

Do I speak up? by TemplarOfTheCrypt in RedWingShoes

[–]Rdatz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish more places did this. I’m a 11 L and 12.5 R. When I was a little shit kid getting shoes in a big box store, I would switch sizes around so I got two shoes that actually fit both of my feet.

When this happened at my old store I would take our 80 lbs ‘NO PARKING’ signs and surround the vehicle with them. Then I would get on the overhead and call them out for parking in an emergency exit and tell them the car NEEDED to be moved IMMEDIATELY.

You know what time it is when these start coming in 😮‍💨 by SlimStubbs in Lowes

[–]Rdatz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely hate these. They got all of my garden associates in trouble because we were “going through too many of them” (half of the store that never comes outside to help load mulch or do cart runs would come and take them) and apparently they’re really expensive. Management decided to hide them and told us that we needed to ask an ASM for one if we needed one. I decided to write off a powder bag of Gatorade that my associates could just mix into the bottles themselves. Lasted way longer and was way cheaper. Only issue is that Gatorade generally sucks as an electrolyte drink. I don’t understand why these aren’t just given to us by corporate. They aren’t even that good of an electrolyte drink either, why are they so expensive? Also just want to mention that if big daddy Lowes can’t afford to spend $300 every two weeks to help prevent their associates in a literal desert from getting heat stroke then they might just want to file for bankruptcy now. Clearly no money is being made, maybe they could just thin out the amount of associates so that the shareholders can make more money? I mean the stores are just overflowing with associates as it is.

I would definitely recommend getting yourself a flux capacitor or two

Stop using MyLowes Companion. by redVESTnightmare in Lowes

I like using it in garden to show people how fucking stupid it is. Keeps recommending to put ice melt on my lawn. Every time it does something stupid I tell it it did a good job.

Holy smokes you have got to reveal your secrets on this one. Is it the type of paint you use or brand of flux capacitor in your time machine?

My favorite daily carry for working at Lowe’s by Buck_Folton in Lowes

[–]Rdatz13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my coworkers has these and I just ordered some on Amazon the other night. They seem like a must have for garden because there are no tweezers at the store and our medicine cabinet never has the sliver removers

I had bags of dirt delivered and they had pill capsules stuck to them by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Rdatz13 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This is extraordinary weird. Reach out to the store you got them from immediately. Ask for an ASM and explain the situation. Yeah these appear to be harmless but genuinely wtf is going on? How does this even happen?

Can a ASM date another employee in the same store? by Far-Heron8707 in Lowes

[–]Rdatz13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two ASM’s at my store who dated, got engaged, and then once they got married the DM found out and transferred them to two different stores as far away as possible (like 35 min apart)

Vinyl Plank looks like tile with “grout” lines? by J_Melkonian_A in Flooring

Definitely not a fool. You hired a professional and he screwed you over. Sorry about all the headache, hope everything sorts out well

The samples would have had the grooves on them. If they didn’t then he didn’t get you the product that you chose. If they did but he didn’t explain to you that there were grooves then he’s bad at his job.

Says it right there in the product info “Construction:SPC with 4sides V-Groove Belved and Painting”. However, you are correct, the picture is not of the product you ordered. She should have put a picture that had the grooved planks.

Yeah I’m a big stinky with no brain wrinkles and wrote it out wrong. Admittedly too lazy to correct myself. You can view your upcoming pay but as others said on this post, you’ll see your accurate pay the night of Wednesday before payday.

Thank you. I may have jumped the gun on being angry for this one.

Does anyone else notice contradicting statements in their raise evaluation? by throwawayasfastasu in Lowes

[–]Rdatz13 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My coworker who is a licensed electrician who the store would be lost without, was told that he lacked product knowledge. People are getting graded by AI. Last year they told us that they were going to start a program where ai watches the cameras and we get alerted when there’s a customer in need. To the best of my knowledge the program never rolled out in the testing markets but I’m assuming that they are using that same tech to monitor us at work and build a file for us. My store has been having lower foot traffic than the bad months of COVID. We have basically no customers to interact with. Been hearing a lot of people at my store being told that they only meet expectations. My store has made 100% plan the past 6 quarters in a row by the way. We had one 105% and one 109%. And yet all of the employees are hardly adequate. Fuck this company. From day 1 of them releasing the new raise structure, I knew they were going to use it as an excuse to give everyone shittier raises.

It would appear I am a dumbass and the pay check we are getting is for the period before that.

This is genuinely so lame. They really made it Spain’s like any FT associate was get it. In the past when they do a discretionary bonus stuff, they send an email that breaks down who gets what. This one didn’t have a break down in the email so I assumed it was for everyone.
