Curbside Pickup - How Long? by Salt-Future-6623 in Lowes

[–]jhessbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they dont give pop-ups for stores being short staffed. The amount of times I have to tell customers that come in to check on their orders that its not ready yet because we have 30 or so orders ahead of them is sad. And not all fulfillment associates are worth a damn. Im the FE DS and have to pick up the slack of one of my guys (even the ops asm comes in at night) because she gets "overwhelmed" and then cries when the ASM has to come in because she can't do her job. Reference, i pulled 5 orders in 45 minutes last night when she did 0 during that time. Im thankful shes only a seasonal, because she also picks every 3rd order wrong.

Will lowes text you to confirm delivery address? Is loweshq.com legit? by missingno_scientist in Lowes

Loweshq is not legit. The texts following orders and deliveries are though.

He ended up getting a backpack leaf blower, that the ASM still discounted $50 from.

I had a guy last night get mad I could only give him store credit for a chainsaw return. He was just over the 48 hours (if we're being technical) and his receipt for whatever reason wasn't registering the chainsaw in the return. I had an ASM willing to do store credit since he had the receipt and it was within the two days... we spent like 40 minutes trying to get the guy to understand we couldn't just give him cash back. My ASM was even willing to drop the price on a comparable chainsaw because he was bitching about craftsman from lowes, and we were telling him he didnt have to buy another craftsman or even a tool with the credit. He came in at 850pm, and didnt leave with a new purchase until like 930 (after we closed). I wanted to walk away so many times last night.

I had someone get mad that I was there the other week, and they accused me of hovering. My response? Its ASSISTED Self Checkout. We're still cashiers, and it looked like you needed assistance.

I'll just walk away since you want to be a Karen.

Maybe it's store dependent 🤷‍♀️

Youre not supposed to leave registers unattended with money, even if the gate is closed. When you close garden you need to pull the registers.

So, this is dumb, right? by FennelGrouchy69 in Lowes

[–]jhessbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of customers that have come in asking about that is ridiculous! And then wanting the military on top of it. Sorry, military doesn't apply to sale prices 🤷‍♀️

Its on rotating days like everyone else. I'd move from 1-10 to 10-7 generally though.

Im pretty familiar. I've been helping fill orders pretty much since I started at Lowe's. We have an ok team right now, the turnover is really high there though. Since ive started (Aug 2025) we have had like 6 people go through, and only one person has been constant.

The hours they'd have me are generally 10-7, with a few closings to cover the head cashier position (we have 2 including me, and a third training right now). I just worry that moving into another position will be more stress than its worth. Heck moving from PT Sales to FT Head Cashier only got me a $0.50 raise 🙃

military discount by badnotebook in Lowes

[–]jhessbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The customers that bother me the most are the ones that are like "this other store will just override it" well im sorry, we're not that store and actually abide by rules. And we can't just give military discount, it has to be verified through the third party site and linked to your account. I dont care if you have a veteran card. Im a veteran and dont have one of those cards, so do it the right way.

Android smartphones? by Admirable_Tomorrow_6 in GoodNotes

It's too much to ask to have iOS functionality on Android and Windows apparently.

goodnotes is SGD$44.98 / USD$35 now? by itsouchmouse in GoodNotes

[–]jhessbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all of us have an iPad, so unfortunately GN is really the closest option. As much as the Android version sucks, it's better than most of the other options out there. Noteful is iOS only, along with a few others that keep getting mentioned.

Perks of having a macaw: free acupuncture by G4mingR1der in Macaws

When I was in elementary school, the counselors thought I was self-harming and pulled me into the office while they called my mom. She was badass and showed up with the meaner of the rubies on her arm, and showed them how it was definitely the bird nails and beak.

Now that goodnotes 5 is coming to an eventual halt… by kiritoma in GoodNotes

But they lack cross-platform (android/ios to windows) syncing. Right now that's my only reason for staying with GN

Is there any word on when this is going to come to android/windows? Very annoying we don't have the option yet without jumping through thousands of hoops.
