| Had a little shopping venture to get supplies for a couple of projects.
Nuts, bolts, plywood, paint remover. Check out, paint remover on
bottom of cart, small stuff in cart, plywood on top. Load up the car,
get home, don't have paint remover.....$30 gone? Call Lowe's, talk to
Chris in customer service. Chris went out to the parking lot, retrieved
my paint remover and kept it until I could claim it. There was plenty
of help on hand to help shoppers, too. Now, if only I could find a
couple of spring-clamps like they used to use on old, wood-frame storm
windows and screens.............

I really prefer Lowes to HD. People are more helpful and available. Plus
my neighbor works there and always finds things that have been returned
unwrapped and sold at bottom dollar  Oh and since I am currently
disabled, those little electric shopping buggies are much faster at Lowes

Do you mean the screen door hook type with the spring to lock the hook into
the eyebolt?
I know I saw those somewhere recently
I know for sure that I saw the hardware they used at the top to hang them
from and I think those were at Lowes.
Here is a picture:

Check the aisle where the door and window parts are sold and also check the
hardware isle where all the stuff is stored in drawers.

Damn it's hard pulling the cart along while paddling over to that isle,
though... (and, yes, I know I carefully snipped the correctly-spelled
occurrence)

Me too, but they suck at checkout, at least at our local Lowes.
EVERYTIME I go there, and I mean EVERYTIME, they only have 1 checkout lane
open and the customer service desk/checkout. No matter how busy they are, or
how empty the place is. And there can be 25 people in line and THEY STILL
WON'T OPEN ANY OTHER FRIGGIN' REGISTERS !
That is why I stopped going there, unless I know the place is going to be
empty.

The fourth floor of E. J. Korvettes was like that too. A few years
later the chain closed, but I don't know if that was related.

IMHO, business cycles cause companies, and their services to cycle.
Right now Lowes seems to have the happiest, helpful employees compared
to HD.

I have bad legs..(2 major operations since Christmas ) .so honestly I
just can not walk all over the store to find 3 or 4 l items, then walk
out to my vehicle without stopping to let my leg muscles some O2 ..
..SO I use their Handicapped scooters...
Home Depot .. .Lucky to get scooter and luckier if it works
Lowes Normally not a problem finding one at the Door..
Guess where I shop ...?

That would be the fault of a poor store manager, not Lowe's as a whole.
Ours is the opposite. Glad to hear that someone is making good use of the
electric carts - they look like they would be great.

Thanks, but it isn't what I want. What I am thinking of is the kind of
latch that is fastened to the trim and snaps over the wood frame of the
storm/screen, and the storm/screen is flush with the trim. It has a
flat, springy thing that, to release the storm/screen, you pull back
from the window end and it snaps back toward the trim. Very old, I think.

They solved that problem at the newest store here in town. They now have
self checkout like the grocery stores.
Now I can find, load and pay for my stuff with no need to find an employee.

A local _Checkout Line Rant_.
Miggy is about to go postal, but she has some tips.
Not just HD, and Lowes, she nails most all checkout lines.

For some reason I'm not attracted too, or use these checkouts. I have
once or twice. They still have one employee to monitor the six or so
checkouts.

Just the other day I noticed HD has automated the BBQ LP tank
replacement method. Step up, slide the debit card, etc. and the cage
door for your new tank will pop open. Remove it and place the old one
in and close the door. Not sure yet, if you have to go back to the
ATM/Debit for a receipt.

I hate them things and refuse to use them. Seems I always have a problem
with an item that won't scan or it won't take my money. I tried and failed
three times and never went back to them. Besides, they don't give me a
discount for doing someone else's work.

Our local Home Depot has them and around a year back when the last
time I ever darkened their doors, I tried to check out through one
with a shovel. I scanned the shovel and it gave the price and then
said to put the shovel in a bag and scan the next item. I leaned the
shovel up against the machine and tried to scan the next item but it
wouldn't scan and said Put The Last Item In The Bag Before Continuing!
I figured one of the geniuses at Microsoft must have programmed this
thing. The HD "Associate" (political correct word for employee)
couldn't get the stupid thing past the Shovel in the Bag hangup before
continuing either.
For all I know, that thing is still sitting there waiting for someone
to get that shovel in a bag before it will ever continue.
Makes you wonder just how bright the makers & programmers of this type
of trash really are. Our latest and brightest college engineers. I
guess they didn't cover in their programming classes that you can't
fit a shovel in a 1ft x 1.5ft plastic bag and since they have no
common sense, then all hope is lost.

I love them. You can get out of the store in less than half the time it
takes the slow checker to ring up your order. I've never had a problem with
the grocery store scanners, and only once at HD with an item too large to be
put on the bagging unit. In less than 5 seconds an employee was at the
machine, punched in a code, and I was out the door.

From the sounds of it you don't understand how they work. Scan item, put
item in bag or on bag area so that it can check what you scanned with what
you put down. It doesn't care if its in a bag or not, it just has to sit or
lean on top of the scale those bags sit on. It has to weigh the item
otherwise people could shoplift all day at those self-check stands.

More importantly, I've never yet had an HD or Lowes or Fred Meyer
(local grocery chain) computer come into my business to spend money.
I have had HD and Fred Meyer employees (real live human beings) come into
my business to spend money, however.
So, I boycott the computer operated self service check out aisles.

Except that someone from corporate** should visit the store
periodcially and make sure things are running well, especially
something as obvious as a long check out line.
**Not necessarily *from* corporate. My ex-girlfriend is a mystery
shopper. She doesn't leave Baltimore but works/worked for lots of
companies. She checks out the store and sends a report back to the
main office. It's usually a specfic set of questions*** written up
the the main office of the particular compnay. She's notice that a
substantial percentage of the companies she checks out go out of
business within 6 months. Hirilng her is their last ditch effort to
fix things. They should probably hire her earlier. Starbucks does.
But the fees they pay her have gone down, and she doesn't do it much
anymore.

I figured there was a way out of the programmer's snafu. It's a shame
that its up to a low wage cashier to have run interference for a high
waged programmer's inadequacies or lack of common sense (common sense
meaning that you can't put a shovel in a 1 ft x 1.5 ft plastic bag).
But bless the little cashier lady because even though she had probably
never attended a day of college and probably never wrote a single line
of code in her life, she knew for a fact beyond reproach that you
can't get a wide blade coal type shovel with a 5 ft handle on it into
a 1 ft x 1.5 ft plastic bag.
BTW and off topic for this thread but informative anyway as far as HD
goes... There was a thread on here a while back about how awful the
service was at HD. One never could find help and when they did, it
was incorrect help. Well, I just read a message on one of the email
lists that I participate in where someone found out how to get all the
"Associates" in a HD to come running to you as soon as you come in the
door and fight over which one gets to help you out... You put a toy
poodle in the upper child seat part of the basket and go scooting up
and down the isles with the poodle wagging its tail and ready to give
a loving lick to all passers-by.
Another message in that same email list from a DIY lady said that she
found out that her assistance went up 10 fold when she started taking
her 2 year old daughter in the basket.
Well, My dog weighs 80 pounds and is about as ugly as I am and I don't
have access to any babies so.......

How do you put a shovel on a 12 to 18 inch square? Leaning won't cut it- it
is like a produce scale. A sandbag of the right weight would work, like
Indiana Jones used. Maybe they should attach a sandbag avatar to all the big
items, to use at the checkout? The droid scale at a place like that needs a
HOOK to hang big things on.
I agree with the others- screw self serve. I'll wait an extra couple of
minutes to deal with a human. (and I do computers for a living, so
technopobe I'm not.)

Umm, I've gone thru checkout with big items, just lay them next
to the bag, I can't remember any problems.
I've used self checkout at HD and StopNShop in all cases they
have a person right there to assist with problems.
It doesn't really work well without someone there.

| Lowe's has been blowin' HD away for me lately (service and pricewise). I
was looking for a self retracting extension cord reel to hang on the
ceiling of my garage, and Lowe's even beat Harbor Freight (19.99-on
sale- for a 30 ft. with 3 outlets!)..
Even the cage type workshop light that I purchased to go with it is of
better gauge and quality than anything I've found anywhere.
The only thing I've been looking for lately that seems pricey (at lowes)
is a dimmer switch for a 3 way light. It has those new rocker switches
and 19 dollars seems like a bit much ... HD is aways away so I have't
had time to check it yet..anyone notice how much those switches are
there?

Here I am, feeling all warm and fuzzy about Lowe's so I went back to get
a Preval paint spray gun. Don't have them, don't know what I'm talking
about but really interested. Told the clerk to check them out at H.D.
So, we went on over 4 blocks to H.D., I went looking for my spray gun
and hubby went looking for the clerk. Hubby found clerk, didn't know
where the spray guns were so I found them - on a bottom shelf behind the
sales desk (spray guns, not hubby and sales clerk) and showed the clerk
where they had been. I took them all and got the heck out :o)

"Skip Bagging" which one uses for large items. So there is no problem, like
the one described. Hard to believe that ours is the only big box store with
that feature.

Oh, bullshit, get over yourself. Calling a clerk an "associate" is just a
useless word. There is nothing wrong with having a job as a retail clerk in
a department store, matter of fact, they were usually good people that
helped the customer and made you welcome in the store.
What happened to being deaf? Now deaf people are "hearing impaired" and
while it may be more politically correct, they don't hear any better. No
shame in being crippled either.
Where I work I'm considered an employee, not a "human resource" and I like
that.
Honesty requires the use of proper descriptive words, not hiding behind some
weasel words that make incompetent people feel god about themselves.

Right you are........ I'm so tired of these political correct types
coming up with these warm and fuzzy "New" words to make, as you said,
"incompetent people feel [good] about themselves" or take attention
away from the true filth of something by calling it something clean
and sweet or call something by some new friendly name that has before
been known as corrupt.
While I write this I hear one on a debate on network news between two
politicians right now.... Some politician lying through its teeth
while the other politician is saying that the other is "Deviating From
The Truth". Wonder what its "associates" would think about that?

I know; I hate that phony "courtesy" like poison, but it's the norm in
the U.S. Congress. (Except when former Speaker Dennis Hastert told a
colleague "fuck you" right on the floor of the House!)
It's a classic you-scratch-my-back; I'll scratch yours game.
By contrast, the British Parliament (I watch Question Time
religiously) is raucous and undisciplined; lotsa fun to watch.
Another difference is that the Brits can utter clear and complete
English sentences; are not dependent on mumbling aloud what their
aides wrote for them. (Gawd I hate those committee hearings.
Someone said that one should not watch how laws and sausages are
made.)
The Brits are also expert at delivering most delicious darts and
ripostes, clothed in elegant but short, direct statements.

Making employees feel important by using special terms is another form of
political correctness. Same thing, fancy words. Retail clerks are just as
important as "associates". They are clerks, so call them that. Truck
drivers, grave diggers, garbage men, are all importnat jobs that people do
and they can be just as proud doing a good job as a banker or chemist.

A memo came out detailing how to account for your hours. For

Corporate-speak comes about when people try to puff up their

I've had a lot of fun over the years. Each time a new _BOSS_
transferred in. If he liked to bowl, the employees bought bowling
balls. If the boss played volleyball; everyone just had to attend.

I've kind of followed the thread but almost forgot about the window

I want is much flatter, no visible spring, and as far as I know was used
only for old wood storms and screens.....two thingys at the top to hang
them and then just snap shut the thingys on the sides to hold them flat.

No, it's not. It's an attempt to encourage employees.
"Political correctness" refers to not insulting people. Originally
Blacks, Jews, and Latinos, but now it's been applied to more people,
including some that even more people still want to insult.
I don't know anyone who thinks that "clerk" is insulting, or even that
Associate is less insulting or more non-insulting. But it's more
inclusive-sounding.

Of course they can be, but the employers didn't change their term just
as a matter of whimsy. Someone tried it out, or someone has looked
into the matter and concluded that in fact, at least in the cases
studied, at least at the beginning of this practice, before it was so
common, they do a better job when called associates. People here
complains continually about the quality of service at Lowes and HD,
and this is one effort, whether successful or not, to get the clerks
to do a better job.

Criticizing people who deride political correctness has nothing to do
with whether the term Associate is good or bad. Because I don't think
using Associate is an example of political correctness. You do, but I
don't. So regardless of whether I'm right about that part or not, you
can't fairly conclude I tied the two together that way, even if you
would have been if you had made the same statements.

No. It is postmodern feminization of the culture.
Men label their employees by concrete actions: clerking, driving, managing.
Work gets done. That's what counts.
Women label employees by their soft relationships: associate,
representative, assistant. Actions don't matter as much as how you relate
interpersonally.
This is how women can dominate men in the workplace. Men are bigger and
stronger, so to weaken this male advantage, do not label jobs in terms of
actions. Women are more physically attractive, so label jobs in terms of
getting closer.

We're not going to change your opinion, obviously, but I'm w/

consultant and relying on the present trends which encourage such
foolishness of presentation and appearances above and over performance
and reality.

"Can"??? I thought you were convinced they _are_ as valuable.
Freudian slip, maybe?
And, you might be surprised at how easy it can be to convince management
of the latest greatest theory in employee morale-boosting or other
management practices. I can't recall the number or even the names now
of all the management panaceas that came, one after another, during my
career...from "Management by Objectives" on, there was one about every
2-3 years I would estimate, on average. This is simply the current fad.

Criticizing people who deride p-c which has run amok also seems to be
p-c these days.

I always hated when we ended up with upper level folks. It was often a
toss of the dice, as to the type. We were a guest on an Air Force
Base. One day I get called into the office of this "rookie" (my term).
He tells me he wants a Draft Policy for our Emergency Plans for a
"direct" Nuclear attack on the base. I let him gone on a few moments.
I really had to laugh out loud. Then I said; this will be very short.
What do you won't me to put in it? Kiss your XXX goodbye?

I do, however, agree with kinch on the whole feminization thing.
If things were left up to women they'd be living in a cardboard box on
the side of an 'unpaved pathway'. Or maybe they would call the cardboard
box a 'corragated living facility'...and the pathway an 'intermodal
transportation system'.
