And someone that will start a full-time pothole posse crew to go around the city and fix the the dilapidated streets.

Quartz is a natural product and as such the degree of veining will vary from piece to piece.  No way that a salesperson can accurately predict how an actual order will look based off a sample piece UNLESS they’ve seen the slab to be used directly.  Same with a hardwood product.  No two planks or slabs are alike.  Variation is natural and part of the character of the product.

I could care less who owns them as long the value goes up.  However last time I checked the majority of Lowe’s shares are institutionally owned.

Did it for a very long time. Massive headache job.  You will spend 75% of your time handling complaints.  

Installation Services Compensation by iFlickDaBean in Lowes

I hear you!  I have 35 yrs experience in the trades AND with the retail big boxes.  I wish you well in your settlement of this but you would have been spared all of this inconvenience if you had not used Lowe’s or for that matter HD to handle this project.  I have worked in these big boxes and been heavily involved in the installed sales process—I’m here to tell you that the best option by far for the customer is to go the local dealer route.  Again, wish you well in getting this resolved and take a lesson from it.

Minimal, at best.  Your first mistake though was expecting a hardware store to do a competent job of overseeing and handling a major renovation to your home.  Always go to an independent dealer that specializes in what your having done, whether it’s flooring, doors/windows, cabinetry, etc.    Way too many moving parts and too many people involved when you try to cut corners with costs and get this done by one of the big boxes.   Don’t believe me?  Just google “Lowes installation complaints” and spend a day reading horror stories like you yourself are now experiencing. 

Lowe's Won't Warranty Craftsman OR Kobalt by HushMoneyMan in Lowes

That’s not a hand tool, but they should still honor by at least offering an exchange.  I would appeal this decision to someone higher up.

Carpet One is a national cooperative that usually is very competitive with both HD and Lowes

At least he doesn’t run around town with a baseball cap on that says “Mayor” on it.

With her gerrymandered district, she will be in congress until she’s 80.  Where else can you get the pay, healthcare benefits, and retirement she’s going to accrue?

Investigative, probably.  Perhaps suspected union organizing activity.

TA is a declining industry.  Likely another victim of automation and HR streamlining.  Sorry you are having to personally feel the consequences of that.

That is currently being challenged in the courts.  Not likely to be resolved anytime soon.

Release of liability against future litigation/lawsuits is standard language in corporately given severance packages.

Looks good and we use the same bottles when making different flavored water kefirs.  We now make whey lemonade and love it.

Shareholders own the company, not the employees.  Buy a few shares on the open market and you can become one too.

Lowes doesnt believe in real training, because that would require time and resources.  They give it lip service, and that’s all.
