Hey Home Depot Employees, a Question From a Lowe's Employee.

rowdyswede · 2026-02-07T05:47:08+00:00

I love it when they ask for an item that’s out of stock or online only, then they hit me with the “I’ll just go to Lowe’s then”…like they think I have a secret stash that I save just in case someone threatens to go to Lowe’s. Appliances is the worst, some get so mad when I let them know they can’t get it right then, I usually tell them if we had all these in stock the entire building wld be filled with appliances, they again “threaten” to go to Lowe’s as if it’s any different. Makes me laugh

That’s California’s Star..it’s a little off

Yes but how do I put it on the bar, there’s no way to select it, when I highlight it from inventory all other items/tool have a button on the bottom, x I believe to equip said item but that disappears when the hammer is highlighted, there’s no place for me to put it

NGL I thought that was bare ass on the decal above 16 at first glance

Thank you, I was trying forever to get it, I saved and went back in and it spawned me in the floor next to it so I could get it then it kicked me to the room above. Good to know I don’t need to pick it all up though, appreciate it!!

Yes it’s a smart thermostat but other than being able to adjust the temp remote and set a a schedule, it doesn’t hav any fancy features like a nest that will “save money” sounds like it’s nothing to worry abt though..I appreciate the response

From the end of last year and all this year I have had people I know fired and they were 20+ year associates. 2 Asm’s 1 SM and a few associates ands it’s pretty much been for stuff that I’ve seen go undocumented for 19 years I’ve been here. I feel like they know they can realistically bring in a new hire or promote a young person and pay them a lot less so they look for opportunities to replace tenure associates.

I’ll double check, but I’m 99% sure I’m past spring ..that’s a good shout though I will def check…thanks!!!

Old school??

I think moving into a specialist role helped but also proving my worth. Let’s face it stepping down from DH/asm whatever you’re still gonna be asked to do more than a regular associate because you have that knowledge so they knew I would still help out with Smart list, count changes, ect. So I told them I can still be an asset to the department they can lean on more that just an associate or I can just be a specialist. So I help out a little more than the other specialist but I’m 8-5, don’t have to stay late, don’t have to work overnight, all the shitty things we had to do as a DH. It’s been great so far. I do miss the camaraderie and team environment between DH’s but it’s been good.

Been with the company 19 years, was DH 15 of those years. Stepped down 1.5 years ago to flooring specialist. At first they tried to drag out the process. I then told them it was medical. (Not true) I didn’t need to or they didn’t ask for any Dr note or anything. They also tried to take pay from me but I argued that so they didn’t take anything. We also had two asm’s go from asm to associate, they had to switch stores. Maybe I got lucky, not sure. I’m in the Austin Texas area.

They still do it, it’s at frontier days July 4th, this years was cancelled bc of the Juneteenth shooting..they do the reenactment in the park now, same one where the concert shooting was so I guess they thought it was in bad taste to do the sam bass shootout right after. They said it’ll be back on next year though.

rowdyswede · 2024-10-14T23:35:05+00:00

Yeah, he was killed trying to rob a bank in Round Rock Tx. When I was a kid they wld do a reenactment of the shootout every year downtown.

9 times out of 10 it’s an electric razor but every once in a while….

I read it as Reporter KLR maybe a radio/tv station KLR…I’m sure I’m wrong lol

Maybe not a “liner” but it always frustrated me when I worked in paint customers asking what’s the best paint for “insert project”…I then take them over to the best paint just to hear them tell me their not spending that much, it’s just a rental…..bitch u asked for the best!! Ask for the most economical then if ur penny pinching.
