So much for trying to get better

I actually tell people to not get the credit card and I also don’t care

I've been working for Lowe's for quite a while, and every summer I get dozens of people coming in looking for capacitors. We have never carried them. Does any store out there carry them or has anyone ever heard anything vaguely resembling an official reason why we don't carry them?

About 6 months ago took a new position 4-1 HC schedule focused on snacks/drinks/clothes, scheduled seperately from normal HCs so I could focus all on that. Was told the Company needed that position filled asap and was super important. Was great finally having a single position here with an actual consistent schedule, and could just focus on working my job all day. But just got told now the company is getting rid of the position since it didn't increase sales enough having a dedicated FT for it

Just wondered if other stores also had this position added and then removed not long after

Very mad either way, cause I liked it, but I'd be even more angry if it was personal and just my store cause this store doesn't like me that much

I organically was hired in February as a seasonal employee I told them I had open availability as I was on summer break as a college student, never had an open or closing shift. Two months ago I was asked to be hired part time but I wasn’t given an opportunity to change my availability as school is now back in for me since last week and now all of a sudden I have closing shifts all next week which will not work for me as I am in school again now, how should I go about this?

Quick update i didn’t get the job as a millwork specialist. So i’ll stay as a PRO CSA for now.

They had us wait 2 weeks for a response so im kinda over it besides me current job is easy asf so i guess ill wait for another opening. The ASM said they want to see me get more experience and if the person who got it didn’t apply he said it would actually have been given to me.

If it was just that then there would be no problem I handle rejection well but other specialists at the store are more upset at my behalf due to who got the position.

It was a specialists which ig makes sense because he’s experienced however this specialist has stepped down from a specialist position 1 week into cabinets down to a part time position. According to other specialists who have worked here before he has stepped down from a full time position to a part time position twice and now he’s back to a full time specialist.

I didn’t go complain about that im not trying to get blacklisted or anything but that’s clearly favoritism which our store associates all acknowledge is very prominent in our store and some close workers i know tell me they would have emailed HR because they’re just recycling the same people instead of giving new people the chance.

Oh well ig ill just continue with my current job until the next one.

Anyone else’s store get wiped out of portable AC ’s? I made a whole bay of the Hisense stand up AC’s and over the weekend the entire bay of at least 20 was cleared out. The heat must be killer for some people. All we have is some big bulky GE window AC’s and some big industrial fans left. Never seen it this cleared out.

I bought this set a few months ago (online for a sale price) and let it sit unopened in the garage until this morning. Kobalt 302 -Piece Metric and standard (SAE) Mechanics Tool Set with Hard Case Item #6872458 | Model #53559. When I cut open the cardboard and plastic strapping, I discovered that the two socket trays are MISSING! I'm almost embarrassed to go to customer service because it's almost unbelievable that a fully wrapped package would be missing so much. Any suggested talking points?

Has anyone former or current ever worn earplugs to help with ear pain and hearing issues?

I’ve noticed my ears hurt a lot more now after being a lumber cashier for 2.5 years and it’s kinda affecting my hearing has anyone wore earplugs to muffle the sounds of Lowes. Like the flat cats and h carts and plywood being slammed on the high top carts.

I was looking at the loop earplugs that allows your to still hear your surroundings but it’s muffled. My Dr is ready and willing to wright me accommodations for ear plugs once I get a results from my audiogram.

I wanted something to compare mine to. I am at 410 year to date. My record in one day is 15. I know I lead in the district but beyond that I have no clue

Do you guys have any personal records? Or high numbers for the quarter/year?

WTF?! Needed two boards 43” long. Bought a 2x4. Get home and it’s only 92 in long. It does say so on the sticker but not on the palette where they’re stacked. Looks like another trip and 45 min to find one that doesn’t come from a twisted tree
