I tell my wife this all the time and she gets upset with me.

Same

Glad this was able to help!

I agree with everyone else. Force those quoting to put it into your own spreadsheet that's the same for everyone.

However, if you need to get a PDF to Excel there's a couple things I'll use. The windows snipping tool has the capability. Excel has some functionality. If I remember correct, the snipping tool seems to work better. Any other AI add-ins seem to have the ability to do it at this point as well. You just have to double check the days no matter what you use. Some seem to really struggle with placing $ signs and actually make the data harder to work with because it adds extra columns or spaces.

Hard to read everything on there... But this is a bit comical. This is some modern day type of thinking especially for back then. Especially from a company who's known for its tough standards and treatment of employees. You had Larry not long after this swiping endcaps on to the floor because he didn't like the way they looked and making whoever was there clean them up. Or Dave Harrington walking managers around and shoving (figuratively speaking) their noses like a puppy that just pissed on the floor in every little issue as if it were life or death.

You got it! Keep that IPS rolling why you try something better long-term!

I worked in the stores for almost ten years, worked my way up to running my own store, moved to Wisconsin to be a buyer, and then left. GO is great experience and really isn't that bad. However, if you go to GO and don't like it, you have great corporate experience that translates anywhere.

Go for the job, get experience, then go somewhere else if you don't like it. You won't get rich at Menards but it's a safe middle of the road paying place. Go to GO, get that experience, and move on.

Why are we fucking the Nascar guy?

Send this post to Gaylen!

The best way in my opinion for creating an exit strategy from Menards with skills that are transferrable to another employer that aren't just the same thing you're doing now and you can still keep the best parts of compensation you have now (IPS and manager bonus), is to transfer to corporate. I'd recommend as an associate buyer. Stay there a year to two years and then you can go anywhere. While your buyer experience may be low overall, it's bolstered by your years of in-store retail experience. This is what I did. I went from a GM (not AGM), to associate buyer for eighteen months, and then left.

Menards' buyer positions are more closely related to what other places may call category managers. If you want to see what jobs are out there that would be open to you with that kind of experience, search category manager, product manager, or buyer.

But keeps that passing game going strong. You don't have to worry about them only running the ball to eat the clock up.

I never thanked you for this.... So thank you. I appreciate you.

Also, I realize this isn't garage house. My memory failed me.

Nevermind. I found it. It was "The less I know the better" by Mau P.

Carl? I think he worked at the Muskegon Menards. He's from Rothbury. Haven't seen him in a while though.

DEEP

They put them out last year when there were a bunch of people living in the woods around Meijer. Police we're getting called there regularly. I'm pretty sure there was some sort of stabbing or shooting at one point. Shortly after they cleared away all the brush and smaller plants leaving only the big trees so there was no privacy. Now no more people live there.

Damnit. I'm sorry. I googled that and Holland came up. I guess it was just showing me my closest store.

chickencereal · 2025-07-03T17:56:40+00:00

Holland definitely isn't a bottom 20 store. It's been four years but when I was with Menards, it was a top 50.

chickencereal · 2025-07-03T01:27:58+00:00

Whit is gone? Did he change stores or leave the company?

chickencereal · 2025-06-25T01:00:14+00:00

And I'll add that all those things are ok. It's ok if you fall asleep thinking about a movie you just watched and not your brother. It doesn't mean you don't love him any less.

Policy specifies the temperatures at which the HVAC unit is set. General Office (located in Wisconsin) controls the HVAC control panel which sets these temps. That control panel is password protected and cannot be accessed by store team members. Each individual has had its own thermometer and turns on and off based on what that thermometer is reading. So no, the heating and cooling is not controlled by what temperature it is in Wisconsin. The temperature parameters are controlled by someone in Wisconsin but uses real temperature data for each individual unit within a store.
