I needed some stainless bolts, nuts, and washers, to install some rod holders on my boat. So, I get jeb dressed and off we go to the Lowe's store. We go in through the "pro" entrance, and head to bolt section. They don't have the size I need in packs, so I find some in the little bins. Count everything out and put in those bags. No pen in the area to write in bags with, so I just snap a pic of the barcodes for each item. Start back towards where we came in....holy crap....huge line back into the lumber. Fine, we will go out the other way.
Now, when jeb is with me we talk a lot. He asks tons of questions, and generally speaking, we are in our own little world. We get up front...Not a single cash register open....
I say to jeb...looks like they trying to copy Walmart...
She then proceeds to very hatefully fuss at me about how I was just going to have to except it...they were doing the best they could do. Now, if she had just made that comment, not a huge issue. But this hag was nearly yelling....with a very hateful tone.
I got jeb by the hand, laid my crap down on the register and started walking towards the door...never said a word. When I get to the door, she yells at me something about "not being like Walmart". I just yelled back....I wasnt talking to you....bit$&!!!
And we left. Went to the small, family owned hardware store down the road. The owner himself helped me find what I needed, and even rung it up on a real register. Oh, and based on individual prices....pretty sure I even saved some money.
Screw Lowe's....if thats the best they can do. I dont need them!!!
