    I used to deal with Lowe's professionally and their shenanigans became so extreme that I just started recording video of all of my interactions with them, then sending them to their district manager. After a while, the store managers and their peons started treating me like a celebrity when I would come in since they realized I'm the guy who's going to put them on blast the second they do anything wrong. Now my real question is: How come their homosexual-ass managers weren't already doing that?

      LOL, you're not the only one-

      https://www.businessinsider.com/lowes-taking-action-after-tiktok-shows-worker-nearly-crushed-box-2023-2?op=1

      The stories about this claim that the box shifted and hit the controls and turned off the lift while the kid was trapped under the box he shouldn't have been using that lift to retrieve, but if you know that piece of equipment you know that its the old red vest guy jumping into the path of the lift to "help" who triggers it to emergency stop. Just a clusterfrick all the way around.

      I know that store and it is THE most poorly run Lowes I've ever had the displeasure of doing business with, and they treat their employees like shit.

      I have no doubt that that kid was ordered by some dipshit above him to use the wrong lift and I hope he sues their asses for all he can get.

      Why is the "estimated date" all fricked up on the website?

      I bought a snowthrower from Lowes a couple years ago, because they were the only store that had them in stock ... well, not in stock, but available for store pickup (estimated date = 1 week from the day I was placing the order).
      My lucky day!
      A week or so later, I hadn't heard anything, but the website would still let me buy the snowthrower (estimated date = 1 week from the day I was looking at the website).

      I checked the website over the next few weeks, and the "estimated date" was always one week away.
      WHAT THE FRICK LOWES
      It's not an "estimated date" if it always shows one week after today.

      After two or three months, the website was finally updated to say "out of stock."

      I left the order, because nobody else had this snowthrower anyway. Then a month or two after the website said "out of stock" I got the email confirmation that it was ready for pickup.
      I only bought it because the website estimated it would be a week.
      It took around four months.

      That's the last thing I'm ever buying from Lowes.

        the online stock was never accurate for us either, that shit is handled by an entirely different branch of the company. We'd just get an order in, go pick it, and then it would automatically notify the buyer when it was ready to go/all scanned for pickup. IT was annoying for us too because people would call because something would be out of stock online but then it would be in the store when we went to go look for it

          Live stock tracking is really fricking difficult from the IT side. A big scam atm in retail is omnichannelling, which is giving the customer the same experience through every method of engagement (in store, online, phone app, etc)
          It's fricking dumb because companies get halfway through the project, halve the budget, and roll it out unbaked
          Our system would give a "live" stock count online which took yesterday's stock level and added the incoming stock. You'd think that would give us a reasonably accurate stock level but it didn't work over the weekends (which was our peak trade), so on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday it would add non-existent stock to Friday's inventory. Customers would do online branch orders for stock that was available to purchase with same-day collection and there was nothing to hand over.
          When stock levels got below 10 it would be listed on the website as out of stock. For a lot of goods we never stocked more than 10. Like ovens, we'd never have more than 3 ovens of any range (one of which was a display model which for some unholy fricking reason was still for sale in season) because how often to people buy ovens? If a customer looked at our range of ovens online they'd just see "out of stock" for everything and buy from somewhere else. There was nothing to tell them they could still place an order from the dot com warehouse.
          Every fricking week we'd have head office breathing down our necks about low sales when it was their godforsaken systems causing the bullshit.
          We went from doing stock take once per quarter, to once per trade period (every six weeks), to literally once a week. How many fricking times did head office think I could tell my staff "yeah we're doing a night shift again to count everything head office fricked up" before people quit?
          Not Lowe's but that's the sort of bullshit that goes on behind the scenes. Some kind of black magic must be involved for that company to still be trading 3 years later.

            >Not Lowe's but that's the sort of bullshit that goes on behind the scenes.
            Lowes stoge here and can confirm that's exactly what happened. Now add in the fact our in store sales and inventory system (dos prompt system called Genesis) and our online/internet sales system (oracle system called Sterling) that sometimes communicate with each other and sometimes don't.

            Trying to print loading tickets for deliveries between the two is a pain in the ass, and trying to return shit to stock with our reschedule deliveries with Sterling is the most obtuse unnecessarily complicated shit I have ever seen. I can tell you about 30% of managers actually know how to do it, and the rest will whip it just to avoid the hassle.

            Additionally, except for the clerk, the people that work in receiving/deliveries are all morons. Especially the managers. Nothing gets verified or counted, and if it does, it's incorrect as frick. I've done about 20 inventories in various stores all over the country and have seen some shit.

              I was a branch operations manager and you're right lol
              Like I said stock over the weekend just got magically calculated by the system, however whenever we did count stock and make adjustments it was overwritten by the system
              Our OUTLs were just plain fricked, whenever stock level dropped below 50% it would order up to the full level
              >Friday: 10 in system, 10 in stock irl, 5 purchased, because it's Friday 5 more are ordered to bring stock up to OUTL
              >Saturday: 5 in system, 5 in stock irl, 5 more purchased, delivery of 5 pending
              >Sunday: 0 in system, 0 in stock irl, delivery still pending
              >Monday: frick Sunday we're going by Friday's stock levels, now there's 15 magically in the system, delivery has arrived so there's only 5 irl and there's always some fricker who wants to buy the full 15 and gets pissed off.
              Then I have to get people off the shop floor to count these items, wasting hours scanning items to tell the system that there's only 5 in the system. Then I'd have to manually approve it from the DC which would only cause more problems down the line because stock isn't infinite. So we get 5 more, system has been reset, everything looks fine. Then the next fricking day the system decides we have 20 in stock cos it's rolled back to Friday's levels plus delivery! Eventually you work out that the only way to contain the problem is literally do nothing. Everything you do to fix it will only make it worse.
              Sales come in and start b***hing that nothing gets fixed and levels are wrong? Literally not a problem we can fix, take it up with the mongoloids at head office.
              Thank frick I only worked at a branch level. When covid happened I got furloughed on 100% pay instead of sent to DC. As soon as furlough ended I handed in my notice.

                Our delivery checking system was really sophisticated
                Stuff was picked at the DC and put into totes or cages. Totes were stacked up with tickets on them and cages had a docket. Delivery came and all we had to do was scan the ticket and we accurately knew everything that was in the consignment. Took literally ten minutes and two staff to get a double decker truck unloaded and stock checked in
                Then at 10am it all got fricked by STS (the dogshit system I've been complaining about) rolling it back
                So STS spoke to the dot com website which was always wrong
                Our system used STS and a far better system which was modern but for some reason was lower in the hierarchy and had STS zip tied to it
                Our BAU replenishment system could read from STS but not write to it, so checking stock out onto the shop floor didn't automatically update STS
                The very act of moving a mug from the stockroom to the shop floor required three separate apps a handheld terminal, and a PC which we shared with three other departments
                Basically the company got halfway through modernising their IT, got the customer facing stuff sorted and then said frick it the wagies can work out the rest
                Every week the company would boast about how much revenue we made last week. Huge sums, but they were always freaking out about sales, sales, sales. Everything was time sensitive. Even the least educated wagies could work out that our expenses were huge and profits were miniscule.

                I didn't get indications of that poster finding it humorous, his list came across as saying that's expected of West Virginia

                No harm.
                West Virginia was most white untill they flooded the state with blacks during hurricane Katrina.
                Mexican, Russian, and Chinese make absolutely no sense. I assumed it was a nation wide push. Some other national chain stuff has been including Chinese in their phone prompts after the usual Spanish.
                I'm just left wondering where the limit is with this stuff

                Lowes goon from the north east. Never heard an announcement outside of Spanish (which only plays from our parking lot camera that says "You're being watched esse." and Jersey is a cluster frick of ethnicities. Your regional manager inhaled a toaster sized pile of Adderall and thought, "FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE INVESTOR IS CHINA!"

                Probably, idfk the signs were like plastic plaques up on their fake covid spit shield.
                I swear the announcement on the intercom said "gweillo" which is their weird for western foreigners, so I can only assume it was played for Chinese shoppers to mock and celebrate the impending white dieoff from the mRNA therepy. Probably said something like "western pig will be dead soon then this land is ours"

    >>also loaders are exclusively 5'2" Hispanic women for some reason

    My wife stopped ordering pickup there because it is always some little 60 year old woman who gets sent out to lift up heavy bags of dirt she orders. She feels too guilty, and my wife has medical issues and isn't strong enough herself to lift them.

    It's because they will have 3 guys on the sales floor who are allowed to use the machine. They don't get of those machines. They can section off a space and jack offs will still go under like "hurrr lemme grab this BBQ scraper"

    I used to be an assembler at Lowes during college. It was pretty chill. I had my own little area in the back with some speakers where I would just hide out for 5 hours building grills and patio furniture. Then the homosexuals eliminated my position and I got moved to some bullshit role where I had to come in at 3 AM to move all of that day’s appliances to the delivery dock. I took the speakers from the back and quit after 2 weeks.

      Standard practice so they don’t have to fire you. That’s a hassle. Sorry that happened to you.

      Im glad my company has never done this. I already have enough chucklefricks to manage without having to deal with a dayshift reject.

    You want to know the weird thing? Those weren't members of the unload crew. I do know exactly what you mean though.

    The people that can actually help you were in the back unloading the truck, which is the hardest and best job at Lowes. One of our favorite things to do was to make the pallet stacks so tall and unwieldly with a jenga tower of merchandise that the stockers later would have to get step ladders to do their jobs.

    >t. unload crew member from back in the day

      You know, that makes sense, because what finally freed me from the lowea pickup counter torment was black man wearing picrel, smirking like a moron, not answering any questions, earpods in, and just moving shit around.
