Everyone has had bad experiences at some store at some time but that doesn't excuse it. I retired from state gov't 5 years ago with experience with managing up to 120 employees so I know a little about mgt. At the Jefferson City Lowes, any employee acting that way would be dragged through hot coals, or have finger nails ripped out (figuretively speaking). Elbucko, have you discussed this with the store manager. I know it would bring results at most of our stores. Give it a try.

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.
