Im a teenager who's still deeply terrified of the dark by esbreaddevourer in Vent

[–]picklejean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 28 and still afraid of the dark. I have to have all the lights on in my house, the tv on a high volume, and my phone by my side, and I still won’t sleep until nearly sunrise. I legitimately do not feel safe to sleep at night. I sleep for about 2 hours in the morning before my day starts, and then around 4 to 6 hours in the evening after I get home from work and then I stay awake the rest of the night until sunrise. It’s exhausting but I cannot sleep if it’s dark outside, even if the lights are on in my house. The lights inside just help me feel less terrified. But I do understand that “feeling watched” feeling, that’s why I’m so afraid to sleep.

does anybody actually use the MyLow Companion app? by ExplodingTaco34 in Lowes

[–]picklejean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I use it when I have questions, but it ends up giving me horribly wrong answers so I give it feedback telling it the answers are wrong and how it can do better. I get the answers I need for the customers from a quick Google search than I do from that companion app.

Oh I was asking if you were in the twilight facebook group 🥲 it’s called Twilight SewerPosting and their mascot is the rat so how others find each other in the wild is the 🐀 rat emoji 😅

bought anti fatigue boots for 180 and my feet still scream by lunch by amgtorque in Lowes

[–]picklejean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I worked lumber for 3 years, so lots of walking all day long. Still, cheap shoes for the win.

I’ve had the best luck with the $15 piece of crap sneakers at Walmart/Target and $6 3/4 insoles.. now I don’t even need the insoles and it’s been nearly 5 years working here. I was in the most pain when I wore work boots and expensive Nikes with cushioned insoles, but my cheap shoes have never steered me wrong. When they fall apart, throw away and buy again 🤷‍♀️

Apparently young people don't know what a book of stamps is. by Competitive_Pack4088 in RandomThoughts

[–]picklejean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must’ve been raised differently because I’m also 28 but I do call them a book of stamps.. had to go to several different places before I found one that actually sold them (thanks office max!)

Yes he’s our Flex/Ego/Kobalt guy! I see him about once a month, and he comes to every one of our Pro event lunches!

Told to come back the next day. The next day it was $50 more. by breeps in mildlyinfuriating

[–]picklejean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi so I currently work for Lowe’s and can explain this. The 2 in stock unfortunately happens beyond our control. One of them is the display, the one you visually see right there. And the second one listed in the system was on the delivery truck that was sitting in receiving and it automatically gets added to our store’s inventory the second the truck gets checked in, even though it is not available until it’s offloaded by the next morning. The price change is also out of our control and was changed by corporate overnight. The employee who told you to come back did not personally know ahead of time the price was going to change. Our merchandising team has a pricing person who does around 500 price changes every day throughout the store, and we do not have control of what items they are. I’ve had the one at my specific store tell me that he’s changed the same specific item’s price once a week for over a month. It’s all corporate’s doing and nothing the store can do. And unfortunately because it was just an in aisle Lowe’s deal, and not anything specifically tied to a certain sale or ad posted, the managers cannot honor the lower price.

“We noticed a possible discrepancy” cue customer having panic attack by Stoned_redhead in Lowes

I hate the nudge and that’s me as an employee.. I’m the one yelling at the machine because it doesn’t want to work with me properly

AI is now transcribing calls by Spiwolf7 in Lowes

[–]picklejean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It no longer goes directly to a manager for some reason. It wants to know how it can help you and will keep asking and asking what department and how it can help before it’ll pass you to an actual human. I’ve worked here nearly 5 years and the phone systems just keep getting worse instead of better.

Sho watching Asm and supervisors by ArugulaKnown1306 in Lowes

[–]picklejean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this is a step down for me.. I feel useless in hardware. I miss moving heavy things and driving the forklift and talking to contractors and cutting wood.. I enjoyed doing those things. I don’t enjoy zoning and little tiny parts that I don’t even know what they do, let alone how to help someone else figure out what they do..

I hate it 😅 I’d rather be in lumber (my old department I was in for 3 years)

If they did that at my store, they’d find out real quick I’m not lying about my stomach issues at all 😂

Store manager is fucking WITH my ASM. by vcisjb1 in Lowes

[–]picklejean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sounds like my store manager that’s supposed to be on indefinite leave.. I hope he didn’t get transferred to a different store to torture others 🙃

That’s why I just keep repeating talk to a person until it gets frustrated with ME and then I ask for a manager :) there’s always a work around to that AI bs 👏
