It actually happened here. A local pizza chain gave free soft drinks(they don't have any other kind) to all uniformed LEO's, and had one of their stores robbed. The perp made it several blocks before being arrested!
In my state, at least, this is not true. Each case is investigated separately. In at least one of the training classes I have taken the instructor used the example of a BG running away from you while shooting over his shoulder in a shoot/no shoot example. The answer was shoot.
Yes I have. He was as dim as those under him. However, to be fair, the area this Lowes is in does not have a literate population with which to obtain employees. There is a Lowes about 25 miles away that is very well managed. I have e-mailed the Lowes web site with my complaints (as have others) about this one store in So.CA, but to no avail.
Management is what I have done all my life. It's not hard and comes natural to some, but is impossible for others. I don't really think it comes naturally to Lowes. Since they took over "Eagle's", that were profitable and popular, it seems that they just set about to kill the bird that lays the Golden Egg.

You did the right thing by emailing them. It's a d***** shame nothing was done about it. The other issue you were right on. The problem is that the "impossible" managers are still there. Mangement at the local level drives customer relations and cannot be ignored. As an employee of Lowes, I apologize for your experiences.
