In contrast, every store of the Lowe's (which I now refer to as "Blowe's")chain is a disorganized, filthy, disorganized madhouse of a sewer that is staffed by people who largely are surly, ignorant, and absent. Blowe's skimps on the numbers and quality of store workers, typically has only two registers open despite very long lines and uniformed employees visibly standing around yakking among themselves. These sewers cannot get things together enough to even have shopping carts available near the entrance (or exit) doorways of their dusty, dirty, stores.
Blowe's will go the way of the gun-grabbing Hechinger stores, which were even worse than Blowe's when the former existed.
I already have made a firm with the managers of our local Blowe's stores to meet face-to-face when it is announced that yet another retail sewer system is headed for a well-deserved flushing as a result of "market forces at work".....
AND since when can't a store decide it doesn't want to jump through big government's hoops? I say, way to go HD.
For me and my family we will continue to shop at Home Depot and will look for things we need or just want.
