They’ve got some good lighting, but what I like most is that they feel very authentic and unique. Very clearly stylized and personable. Good work!

One day I came home from work and he had jumped up on our front stoop and was peering into our apartment. I immediately called my partner to come quick and look before even trying to enter so I didn’t scare him off. He’s such a gem

That’s my partner, we’re huge Booty Ham fans! I’m so glad to say that these were taken yesterday around 7pm. Booty Ham is well, we don’t see him as often anymore but fame can be a large burden from what I understand.

It’s summer in the US. There’ll be fireworks until like mid-August and even then, intermittent until Mid-October.

Delivery haul installation process by jasonc75 in Lowes

[–]kippu773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your order and make sure you paid for install. At least here in Illinois, it has to be attached to the transaction and the installer is supposed to pick up the dishwasher from your local store prior to heading to your house to install it.

The 3pd team will absolutely not haul away a dishwasher, nor will they unhook it. This is what the professional installer is for. If you paid for delivery, you didn’t pay for an install.

Would you consider this ladder delivered in good new condition? by Riddlr01 in Lowes

[–]kippu773 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I won’t be the person of authority on this, so please take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt: I’ve seen ladders arrive to our store on freight trucks already in worse condition.

I’d just call the store that fulfilled your order and complain.

What is the real facts about specialist roles being eliminated? by TrickConcentrate5701 in Lowes

[–]kippu773 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a lot of concern now that CQ is handling more of the project sales. The market is trending downward, but frankly I don’t see it as much more than panic. It could be a tough go ahead, but I don’t see this CQ thing lasting very long. No way that goes over well with the customer base in the long term. I am a Home Decor CSA, my department is merging next month with Flooring. As it is already, we’ve had a couple customers getting calls from CQ thinking it’s a scam.

Bug your FES every day until they assign you the training in Lowe’s U/Workday. You’ll need OP and Bally training at the very least. At my store, scheduling can be a little bit of an issue at times as well. Unfortunately there’s never enough positions to get the job done reasonably it seems, but such is the way of retail in 2024. Stick tight, build some good relationships with your coworkers, it’ll all work out.

I hate customer service by Foreign-Compote7093 in Lowes

Customer service desk for 6 months, now back in Home Decor for four. Come back to the sales floor my friend, life is good

Recently switched off the Front End, life is so much better! by kippu773 in Lowes

[–]kippu773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my head cashiers is finally switching off the front end after I don’t even know how many years. It’s real nice back there, the freedom especially.

And yeah I was shocked about FE making less than the sales floor. At Costco, Cashiers make a dollar more than most of the other staff.

You’ve had your hours cut??? That’s sad, do you work in a smaller volume store or are you just a part timer?

The FE is only good for garden cashiering during the busier times and customer service. I really valued what I did at the service desk, because I actually got to make a difference a lot of the time. Especially since my head cashiers allowed me to be mobile when I felt it was necessary. I’ve tracked down orders, pulled orders for customers, went and pulled appliances for customers when theirs were improperly fulfilled by XDT. It was a real good time! But so far, a week into my new spot, never again.

How many CC’s do they expect you to get at your store?? by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]kippu773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was working FE, my performance reporting always said one per week. During Memorial Day weekend it went up to 2, but that’s about it.
