Again you made a known business deal. If you knew it was crappy lumber, why did you buy it at that price?

When you buy lumber in bulk and have it delivered to the job site 60 miles away, you expect good quality lumber like they advertise. Instead, what you will sometimes get is all the splits, knots, and bowed boards that people who buy at the store cull out. Not only that, I've had the Lowes people hide this trash lumber in the middle of the bundles so they don't get found for days. So, I just have to suck it up, and hope for karma when I get to stick it to Lowes when they mistakenly sell me a mower for less than half price. No theft involved at all.

In my book it is theft when you don’t keep your agreement.

How do you know she didn't keep her agreement? She worked for a weekly paycheck that could go either way depending upon what her employer chose to give her, depending upon what mood he was in. When was the last time you got honestly paid for every single minute you put in on the job?

Do you think the business owners treated this lowly minimum wage employee with the same respect as they want to be shown? Or, do you think there's a better chance that she was one of the low-end employees that turned the lights on and off everyday and cleaned up crap after them on a daily basis, and then one day saw the chance to get back some of what she really deserved? Once again, it's called "karma."

—————————-

Yep; Lowes, Home Depot and a cedar supplier.

Always have to buy 20% over and return the trash.
