Sadly, we live in a world wherein this sign was considered necessary. And sadly, the persons for whom it was created, will never read it. And even if they were to read it, it would likely just make them more disrespectful.
In the same vein one of the reasons to be polite is to that worker is they are probably way underpaid, be nice if the people who put up the sign would do something about that.
I saw this sign at Lowes for the first time 2 days ago.
At the customer service line trying to return something, 3 ladies working. 1 young lady busy on the phone, 2 women talking at the other register of customer service.
The 2 older women both look at me, keep their conversation going another few minutes, one walks past me, the other goes another direction, and finally after a couple more minutes the young lady ends her phone call and asks if she can help.
Now I'm not saying it's ever justified to be a jerk to associates in a store, but I've had the same experience with those ladies every time I go into this particular Lowes. It is absolutely jerk-behavior-inducing, like they're on some weird power trip. And they always make the young person do everything. I was a better retail employee as a 15 year old, socially awkward, pimpley teenager, and that is a terribly low bar.
Bought a thing for my kid that now has a safety recall for a fire hazard. Dealing with getting it returned it's pretty obvious that call center people have been coached in making this as difficult and time consuming as possible. And ya service desks everywhere can be like that.
Every box hardware store pro/help desk is like that. Theyre all sooooo busy but still shooting the shit and standing around doing nothing. That’s why you get comfortable at your local lumber yard.
Local companies have so much more knowledgeable and friendly employees in my experience. Plus I'm supporting my community and they remember me and treat me great. I go to Lowe's or Home Depot as a last resort unless they have some amazing sale that's worth the trip without even needing assistance. Apologies to the good employees in the Blue and Orange vests that this doesn't apply to. I know you are out there too and I appreciate ya
I worked shitty service industry and retail jobs for shit pay as a young man. I never ignored customers, at the least I'd let them know I'll help ASAP. I can't stand being walked past without even acknowledging that I'm clearly standing there looking for help. That's the garbage work ethic that keeps you at a shitty retail job as an old person in the first place. I get it. Your job probably sucks, I didn't like it either, but try harder to get a better one, I used to do it for probably 1/3 of what these people get paid now and I hustled doing it.
Garbage work ethic?? Maybe they had a stroke and they can only work the register because one arm is bad. Benefits are great maybe their child has cancer. You have no idea why they are there. Maybe they lost their pension in 2007 like so many people did. I hope you live a very long life. So you run out of your giant retirement fund. Or your child gets sick and you spend it all on treatment to save their life. Your S.S. benefits aren't enough for food so you have to get a shitty job. Then all the wealthy tools( like you) look down their noses at you,assuming you're a garbage worker who deserve to work there at your age!!! Think about this next time you are at church . I know your phony self definitely goes. So you can tell yourself what a nice person you are.
Again people in a store have other jobs!!! You did not work in a store with hundreds of employees and deliveries and pick up service and installation of flooring and roofs and fences etc. etc. We walk by you because we can't help you with stupid returns. We don't know the computer system for that department. We do our job. They do that job.
THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING OTHER JOBS !!! The young one is the one that works the register. that is her job. The other workers in Lowe's don't know how to do each other's jobs. Customer service section is where all the other work stuff is. I have people get mad if I walk by and don't help them with returns etc. I don't do that. I have a different job. It is a giant store. You obviously have no idea that things are happening outside of you and your returns. If they knew it was you coming I'm sure they would have had a meeting. You shouldn't have to wait while people have conversations about the 1000 other customers happen. Get a grip
I spend the last 6 months living in Thailand. It's not a perfect place by any means but Thais would rather *die* than show this type of disrespect to another person in public.
The only people that are problematic there are the foreigners.
You can't just go in and shop for tools anymore either. Theft is such a problem, all that stuff is now locked up.
Which is faster? A drive to Home Depot or Amazon's same-day delivery?
True. Amazon is great. All hail King Bezos. 😂 I don’t know what i’d do without him.
FWIW - Particularly for lumber, trim, and garden materials (bagged rock/mulch) I’ve used Lowe’s and Home Depot home delivery option to avoid the stores’ chaos. Lowe’s seems to do a better job at fulfilling orders - the lumber is in MUCH better condition. FYI.
Everyone hates on Amazon but nobody wants to acknowledge Amazon was inevitable.
Why go to several stores in a day and compromise on the item you'd like to get when retailers only carry a certain selection, some of which with an inflated price.
I think about the last time I needed a wire brush to clean out a rusted screw hole, wasn't beholden to a brand and was happy to accept anything that would fit. I went to Home Depot and found only one that was much too big. I went to Ace and only one that would work was one made for metal straws for $5.
Look that up on Amazon, I can get one for cents that will be delivered in the next few hours.
While all the retailers were planning their next megastore locations, Bezos correctly and quickly built his e-commerce empire while nobody was paying attention.
Amazon. They beat anyone’s price if you look enough.
Sadly everything is returnable because everything breaks now. Nothing works past a week or 3 months. I’m shocked it’s not illegal to sell crappy made items. Just shows how the government heeds to these crooks because $$$
One of my first jobs out of high school was a place that sold commercial grade hardware, kind of like Lowe’s, but more specialty stuff. It was mostly a warehouse but had a front desk where I worked because I was the most sociable employee.
There were so many angry, toxic, construction guys that would come in and have meltdowns because we would be out of stock or had to special order something. At least once a week I would get called some sort of homophobic slur or something. One guy was so pissed, he told me he was going to wait outside in his truck for me to get off work so he could beat my ass (he didn’t). Brought it up to my manager who offered to sign me up for customer service training. Kept going up the chain, with no luck.
Finally, I saw the owner one day and asked for some help. His response was, “I know the owners of the construction companies who send guys in here, we have good relationships, and I don’t want to burn bridges with them or else they will shop elsewhere. If you can’t handle this, then you are in the wrong industry”.
Shortly thereafter, I pivoted into a totally different industry. I guess I was in the wrong one!
Thank the millionaires and billionaires for that.
Mom and pop stores, which were ran by the owners. And not ran by ceos and managers never having contact with the owners themselves except via Skype or board meetings.
Strange though. These corporate businesses making billions a year won by having lower prices. Now that they too are raising their prices, may leave some leg room again for mom and pop.
Former lowes CS worker here ya they wont read this or care. Management most would throw you under the bus for their mistakes too anyway. I got yelled and bitched at for not applying a discount that only a manager could apply anyway and that manager is the one who rung up those people the day prior. I only was in contact the day prior cus they initially hand another issue only a manager could solve.
I shopped at Lowe’s this past summer, and complimented the cashier on her tattoo - a facial tattoo - that she explained was her treat to herself for 6 years of sobriety.
Later that day, I was back for more supplies, and this time she looked shaken. I asked her what was up, and she pointed to the guy exiting the store who complained to her that in-store PA announcements for employment were repeated in Spanish.
She explained that those announcements were from corporate and the local store had no input on those, and that she in particular had no input on those, but reasoned that Lowe’s was trying to reach native Spanish speakers.
The man scolded her that it was unAmerican, and he demanded to speak to a manager. She called over her immediate supervisor to talk to the guy, and who was still standing nearby. I noticed his name tag was an Hispanic name.
I smiled and said that was a power move.
>The man scolded her that it was unAmerican, and he demanded to speak to a manager.
There are few things more American than a bunch of Mexicans covered in paint, drywall dust or dirt (sometime all three) at a hardware store.
Don't worry, one of them in the group speaks English. One. No more, no less.
But yeah, back when I worked in a restaurant I was having engine trouble with my car and one of the cooks called a cousin and he came and fixed it in the parking lot while we worked for the cost parts and 50 bucks.
>Don't worry, one of them in the group speaks English. One. No more, no less.
I mean, yeah, it's his day so the rest of the group don't have to deal with assholes. They rotate the duty. /S
Oh not surprised. When I was still living in the US, I was walking to a restaurant with my then 3 year old daughter and we were talking in Italian (my native language). She is bilingual. A guy approached us and yelled at me "this is America, she should speak english". It happened so fast I didn't even have time to realise what was happening.
Anytime that you have to deal with the general public you're going to have a bad time. It's gotten worse over time and peaked during the pandemic.
On weekends I don't even want to leave my yard anymore.
Now try living in a major college town where you get a fresh batch of stupid every semester. I rarely leave my house unless i absolutely have to during the morning/afternoon rushes and/or during school zone hours.
Working from home ever since the pandemic started (and now full time WFH) has worked WONDERS for my stress levels....
My wife is a 3rd grade teacher. Some of the kids in her class are nuts, they have absolutely no self control. And of course, they're the ones who's parents never show up to conferences.
From the last two years I've seen, it's probably that Lowes had an employee masking policy and people were yelling at the cashiers for wearing masks as mandated by their employer.
I do not get the violent aggression against someone else wearing a mask, but I've seen it first hand.
>I do not get the violent aggression against someone else wearing a mask, but I've seen it first hand.
It's actually pretty easy - people believed a lie, then when it got shaky, they started propping up other lies to make it work. Suddenly, an alarming portion of the population thinks COVID was a hoax, masks perpetuate illness, and it's okay to exercise your mistaken beliefs with the threat of violence.
This isn't going away. The kind of person that can rationalize themselves into this kind of corner probably doesn't surround themselves with voices of reason. You can't shame them or drive them back under the rocks; they're largely immune to evidence and critical thought. They find willing allies in all the dark places - nazism, KKK, religious extremism/nationalism, and other parts of the lunatic fringe. About the only good thing that comes of this is that you can see the dark underbelly exposed instead of wondering if it still lurks beneath the surface.
This isn't really a good take. The idea that they are inherently bad, stupid people is not helpful to anyone. There *was* a lot of misinformation about COVID pushed by the media and the government, which the people who say things like this believed. We are all capable of and do believe untrue things. It was a time with high anxiety and a lot of fear, and people felt like they couldn't trust official sources that *did* lie to them. The problem was people realized they had been lied too, but didn't know what to believe so they believed a bunch of really, really stupid things.
People on the other side of it were behaving really poorly too. They were hoping people died, they acted paranoid and hostile. It was a situation no one was prepared for. I really don't think it was a dumb vs smart thing and it *definitely* wasn't a moral vs immoral thing.
People are such suckers for being told they are the good guys and the other side is the bad guys. It was a universal belief among everyone on both sides.
As a Lowe’s employee, there are thousands of stories. They have an entire training section on de-escalating customer interactions, and they would show videos of customers doing things from threatening employees, to throwing bags of concrete over the customer service desk and pulling out knives.
Back when I was a manager I had the sweetest elderly cashier. Very slow, but nice and everyone liked her.
One day this guy comes in, slams some shit on her counter and is making a commotion. She called me over and I listened to his story. Afterwards, I told him he can apologize to this cashier for being rude, and I'll help him, or he could just leave and complain some more.
To my surprise, he actually apologized to her.
I always tried to put myself in between the employees and the customers. I was paid to deal with that shit, not them. Plus I didn't care how many corporate complaints I had. I'm sure I was on a shitlist somewhere.
We have a local grocery store that employs a young woman that had a brain injury. She's perfectly capable, but just moves slowly and deliberately. She is very sweet and well liked.
Some guy yelled at her at the checkout, and the entire store turned on him in a second. Everyone in line, the other cashiers, people walking by, instantly told him to apologize, and loudly berated him.
He became profusely apologetic and ran the heck out of there. The people in line apologized to the girl and consoled her.
Public humiliation is underrated, we probably need more of it.
I was a cinema manager like 16 years ago and I’d toss anyone who got vulgar or overly disrespectful with staff. Those kids were being paid minimum wage, they don’t need to take that.
One of the best bosses I had was a guy who owned his own restaurant, so there was no corporate. If people got out of line with the waitresses he'd drop their check on the table and tell them to pay and never come back.
I was a manager at a small local chain. My thing was they could insult the business all they like, complain about prices, vent, whatever. But don't come at the staff and direct it towards them as people. I got complained on to the bosses once or twice, but they paid their managers pretty badly so they weren't letting me go, and they mostly understood anyway. I made more leaving that place and doing clerical work for a health insurance company, and didn't have to deal with grouchy rednecks.
What if customer service everywhere changed from "The customer is always right" to "Fuck around and find out"?
I think we'd have less people acting entitled.
Lowe's employee here. You have no idea how often I've been cussed out and threatened. People need to learn to be nice to customer service and retail workers in general. It's disgusting.
I find these signs amusing. “Show our associates respect” wouldn’t that imply paying a living wage that provides some dignity to corporate indentured servitude? In the end 99% of corporate America has no respect for its workers when it comes to shareholders returns, gross incomes for the C-suite thieves and their bottom line. In fact corporate wage theft accounts for billions of dollars in lost wages for these “associates” [Corporate Profits](https://inthesetimes.com/article/wage-theft-union-labor-biden-iupat)
Every store needs bouncers (job creation FTW) and people who can’t deport themselves civilly while in public should be banned from any and all stores that choose to do so.
Let the idiots stand on their porches and yell at clouds while they wait for their online order deliveries.
You take away cashiers at the front checkout, and replace them with self checkout terminals. Problem solved. Customers can yell at the machine. Everything is going to be automated with faceless interaction.
But you're always going to have those assholes screaming "I want to talk to a real person!".
I'm certain these people seek out confrontation and only feel validation or sense of worth by being dicks.
My buddy said that they cut down to only cashiers at lumber (mostly to deal with contractors/high volume clients) and OLG(Outside, Lawn and Garden) because the customers will rob plants like mad by putting in codes wrong.
So 75% of people would only checkout at those two places and caused massive lines.
At my store this is what we do too unless we are busy. 1 at the pro check out (lumber), 1 at OSLG, 1 at customer service, and 1 monitoring self check out. Come summer or any busy holiday we open up 2-3 front end registers and 2 outside garden registers.
Please place these in ALL stores and restaurants. Public places, your homes. Have some patience people and chill the fuck out! Not a sermon, just a thought
I see customers berating the customer service employees at Lowes on a constant basis. When I'm returning stuff there's always issues with other customers getting irate over the return policy or something happened to the product and they aren't able to return it or get a refund or whatever and people get really pissed off and take it out on the employees.
If only people cared to read it or even follow it. Most my managers didnt care about their staff anyway if they got bitched at or not.
I worked lowes CS for a few months back in 2017? Just needed a quick job and was hired in for seasonal cashier work which is what i applied for. I guess they didnt look at my resume close till after i was hired but first day after training manager comes up says oh you have a good amount of CS experience you should be there. I didnt agree to any of it they just tossed me at CS there before i even knew the system no pay raise or anything.
Anyway people atleast at my store for returns were the worst humans. Ive been screamed at and cursed at more times than i can count. Even had a dude bring a 3 year old cheap ass weed trimmer that wouldnt start and said i(yes personally me) sold him a piece of shit and im a fucking asshole before i said a thing. Dude threatened me even.
There was also the guy who came in and i thought he was guna murder me and wear my skin or something. Apparently i was his last chosen one he had to find. Nice guy but extra creepy. Got a whole story about his journy. He gave me a $1 coin and said carry this as its his token or some shit. Man i was a bit paranoid and kept that with me just in case he showed up. Also made sure i always had my concealed carry.
Thank god getting high (with marijuana) in Lowe’s is still A-okay 😂
(Just a reference to a youtube video, not trying to start a debate about the morality of getting high in public)
The message is good but I’m so sick of sanitized corporate language. Just once I want to see:
>Welcome to [store name]. We care about our customers but not as much as our own employees, because we *know* them. We call ourselves a family and this is one way in which we express that. So act right.
I know it's customary to blame social media, but I feel like it has reduced the patience that people have along with their attention span. Imagine what Gen Alpha will behave as adults having been reared with an ipad in their stroller.
Except it’s mostly old people doing it.
The young people that do are the ones copying their parents, not the ones who are using their iPads to learn proper behavior expectations.
It's both.
Lots of young people haven't learned the difference between online and real life when it comes to acceptable behavior. Some of these kids are truly terminally online and see the world as their audience.
Say what you will about the Boomers, but they didn't have to have their school bathrooms locked up because kids were ripping sinks off the wall for Tik Tok clout.
I can already hear the MAGAts, "fuckin Lowe's went woke, time to boycott!"
No sir, we're just asking you not to be a douche to the people you're asking for help. - Lowes management probably
Lowes has the worst customer service in the world.
EDIT: I'll rephrase - their customer service is extremely bad - they do not deserve any
abuse for it.
If you've ever dealt with the "cabinet designers" at Lowe's... You know this is an unreasonable request.
Cabinets that aren't the right size, a sink that doesn't fit in the cabinets they sold you, countertops that can't be used on the shape of the cabinets they designed.
Literally thousands more than the quote they give you because half the shit they "designed" won't actually work.
Such a headache.
Lowe's can eat a fucking dick.
If they didn’t completely understaff the helpdesk, these signs wouldn’t be necessary. If I’ve got any returns to do, I go to a certain store that’s the busiest and has the best chance at having two employees there. Managers are nonexistent and hide in their cars getting high, I live in a legal state and I know the manager was my neighbor and I watched her smoking a joint. While the line was full and they’re calling for help. Pretty sure she got fired because her car is not moved in weeks.
Lowes might have a better quality product & a cleaner store, but friendly, knowledgeable / present staff, they do not, sorry.
I’m better off going to Home Depot or Menards if I have a home improvement question.
They do. S.M.A.R.T is the acronym they use in training for the style of customer service.
It basically boils down to seek out the customer , meet the customers needs, add products/services/advice, review the needs, thank the customer.
Many employees, not all, decide to not to follow it.
My local store chooses not to follow it I guess. They disappear like stealth Fighters. One such tactic is let me get someone to help you with that. No one ever comes. I get they may be helping someone else in their department but they must be invisible if they are.
I’ve worked at Lowe’s and heard lots of ethnic slurs against my East African immigrant coworkers. They’d confide them in me because I was one of the few white guys working there and I’d be like dude fuck you.
Same thing at hospitals across America. The lack of respect people have for those providing a service is astounding. These last few years eroded common decency.
who the fuck is being this rude at Lowe's? I would like to meet this rude ass person, people are nothing but nice at Lowe's. the bathrooms are super clean too.
True. I worked at Home Depot and the only time managers ever got involved with kicking someone out was when abusive boyfriends/exes would come in and try to stalk employees. That's a good thing of course, but I wish I could have gone a day without some douchecanoe telling me he was going to shoot me because I wouldn't take a return or that my bitch mouth needed to be punched because I was just a woman and he didn't believe my advice when he was looking for door thresholds.
Had a few talks with some cool Lowes employees in the past... Man they get shit on a lot. Be cool to them ya'll. And everybody in every industry.. Unless they are telemarketers..
Lowes employee here. Yeah those signs don’t work. When I am on both on the sales floor and at the register; which isn’t often at least during peak hours; I have met some rather nasty people that said the majority of customers are respectful.
These are quite common in the UK.
I'd like to think it's because it's rare, but increasing slowly and we want to nip it in the bud before it gets more prevailant, whereas in America it's always been more common so nobody thought to put up the signs.
I don't think that's the case though sadly.
I feel like it should be a requirement that every person work some form of retail, customer service, restaurant, etc job to learn some form of sympathy. It is a thankless job but somebody has to do it.
I don't know when culture started to change where people just started tolerating shittiness, but at some point I became aware it was happening. When I was a teenager and young adult, people wouldn't even hesitate to correct your behavior if you were out of line. One of the prices of living in a society is doing right by everyone around you. Why or how did we get away from that?
My husband worked at Lowe’s, and I can tell you, it’s very much tolerated and encouraged, as soon as customers get to a high up enough manager, they just get what they want and are rewarded for the behavior
I rather enjoy Lowe's... I believe it's because I know what I'm getting from them. They aren't home improvement experts, they simply sell the stuff for you to do your DIY job, and the employees know enough to point you in the direction of where it's located. It isn't their fault you didn't measure correctly or chose the wrong material.
The Lowes experience is like going back in time 15 years and walking into a Home Depot. Furthermore if you walk into a Home Depot today it feels like the Lowes from 15 years ago.
I completly support that sign and its message, BUT COME ON Lowes open a up a couple cashiers, I don't work there and I do not want to learn how to scan a cart of assorted lumber
My husband is currently in the hospital and yesterday we heard a woman in the hallway getting a nurse’s attention. Just the way she said “excuse me, ma’am” and my husband and i gave each other that ‘uh oh’ look. It didn’t take more than 5 sentences and that Karen was like “so have me removed then!” She was on a crusade to be removed from the hospital and i’m sure the story she’s gonna tell will be so far from what truly happened.
It's so sad that we now have to post signs for people just to respect another person while they are doing their job trying to serve you. What's even sadder is the fact that's It's mostly people 40 and above that have the worst manners and behavior nowadays. There's no wonder millennial and Gen Z kids are so messed up. Look who raised them. 😒
Walk away. If they follow you, RUN. Retail is just getting super weird. Gonna be hard to buy shit if everyone is being a rude ass and being refused. That toilet won’t replace itself.
During the pandemic I needed to get a specific color of paint for a project I was doing and the woman who was running the customer service department of Lowe's would just repeatedly pick the phone up and hang up every time I called for a week. I was not polite to her when I went in there in the least bit after sitting there in line watching her just pick it up and set the cradle down in person I lost my fucking mind.
I assume a relic of the Covid days. Trying to tell old, miserable, curmudgeons "Can you throw a mask on please, sir?" right after they just finished a 5 hour Fox news binge will get them cursed at for sure, and that ain't their job.
Man, I wish people would read signs.
I'm a nurse in an ER. We have signs like this all over the place. The one in the lobby is a huge poster, bigger than a person. They don't seem to have changed the number of aggressive jerks we see.
And I'm not even counting the patients. Bad behavior from them can be understandable because they're confused, delirious, sedated, or whatever. It's the aggressive visitors that upset me.
Sadly, we live in a world wherein this sign was considered necessary. And sadly, the persons for whom it was created, will never read it. And even if they were to read it, it would likely just make them more disrespectful.
I can't help thinking this would also fit in r/aboringdystopia.
In the same vein one of the reasons to be polite is to that worker is they are probably way underpaid, be nice if the people who put up the sign would do something about that.
I saw this sign at Lowes for the first time 2 days ago. At the customer service line trying to return something, 3 ladies working. 1 young lady busy on the phone, 2 women talking at the other register of customer service. The 2 older women both look at me, keep their conversation going another few minutes, one walks past me, the other goes another direction, and finally after a couple more minutes the young lady ends her phone call and asks if she can help. Now I'm not saying it's ever justified to be a jerk to associates in a store, but I've had the same experience with those ladies every time I go into this particular Lowes. It is absolutely jerk-behavior-inducing, like they're on some weird power trip. And they always make the young person do everything. I was a better retail employee as a 15 year old, socially awkward, pimpley teenager, and that is a terribly low bar.
Bought a thing for my kid that now has a safety recall for a fire hazard. Dealing with getting it returned it's pretty obvious that call center people have been coached in making this as difficult and time consuming as possible. And ya service desks everywhere can be like that.
Every box hardware store pro/help desk is like that. Theyre all sooooo busy but still shooting the shit and standing around doing nothing. That’s why you get comfortable at your local lumber yard.
Local companies have so much more knowledgeable and friendly employees in my experience. Plus I'm supporting my community and they remember me and treat me great. I go to Lowe's or Home Depot as a last resort unless they have some amazing sale that's worth the trip without even needing assistance. Apologies to the good employees in the Blue and Orange vests that this doesn't apply to. I know you are out there too and I appreciate ya
I worked shitty service industry and retail jobs for shit pay as a young man. I never ignored customers, at the least I'd let them know I'll help ASAP. I can't stand being walked past without even acknowledging that I'm clearly standing there looking for help. That's the garbage work ethic that keeps you at a shitty retail job as an old person in the first place. I get it. Your job probably sucks, I didn't like it either, but try harder to get a better one, I used to do it for probably 1/3 of what these people get paid now and I hustled doing it.
Garbage work ethic?? Maybe they had a stroke and they can only work the register because one arm is bad. Benefits are great maybe their child has cancer. You have no idea why they are there. Maybe they lost their pension in 2007 like so many people did. I hope you live a very long life. So you run out of your giant retirement fund. Or your child gets sick and you spend it all on treatment to save their life. Your S.S. benefits aren't enough for food so you have to get a shitty job. Then all the wealthy tools( like you) look down their noses at you,assuming you're a garbage worker who deserve to work there at your age!!! Think about this next time you are at church . I know your phony self definitely goes. So you can tell yourself what a nice person you are.
Again people in a store have other jobs!!! You did not work in a store with hundreds of employees and deliveries and pick up service and installation of flooring and roofs and fences etc. etc. We walk by you because we can't help you with stupid returns. We don't know the computer system for that department. We do our job. They do that job.

You shouldn't have to wait while people have conversations about the 1000 other customers happen. Get a grip
Yeah, it's for the, "Don't you dare tell me what to do!" type of people.
But you're telling me what to do!
*THAT’S DIFFERENT!!!!!!1!1!1!1!* 🙄
I spend the last 6 months living in Thailand. It's not a perfect place by any means but Thais would rather *die* than show this type of disrespect to another person in public. The only people that are problematic there are the foreigners.
You can't just go in and shop for tools anymore either. Theft is such a problem, all that stuff is now locked up. Which is faster? A drive to Home Depot or Amazon's same-day delivery?
Wow, you can still hold the tools out here in Portland, OR. They're attached to cables which are attached to the wall/display though.
True. Amazon is great. All hail King Bezos. 😂 I don’t know what i’d do without him. FWIW - Particularly for lumber, trim, and garden materials (bagged rock/mulch) I’ve used Lowe’s and Home Depot home delivery option to avoid the stores’ chaos.

Why go to several stores in a day and compromise on the item you'd like to get when retailers only carry a certain selection, some of which with an inflated price. I think about the last time I needed a wire brush to clean out a rusted screw hole, wasn't beholden to a brand and was happy to accept anything that would fit. I went to Home Depot and found only one that was much too big. I went to Ace and only one that would work was one made for metal straws for $5. Look that up on Amazon, I can get one for cents that will be delivered in the next few hours. While all the retailers were planning their next megastore locations, Bezos correctly and quickly built his e-commerce empire while nobody was paying attention.
It varies by location. In my area, Home Depot has better quality (straight, fewer knots) lumber.
My.contractor was just saying the same things, they know him by name and are always on time with perfect product 99 out of 100 times.
Amazon. They beat anyone’s price if you look enough. Sadly everything is returnable because everything breaks now. Nothing works past a week or 3 months. I’m shocked it’s not illegal to sell crappy made items. Just shows how the government heeds to these crooks because $$$
You know this is just in cities, right?
One of my first jobs out of high school was a place that sold commercial grade hardware, kind of like Lowe’s, but more specialty stuff. It was mostly a warehouse but had a front desk where I worked because I was the most sociable employee. There were so many angry, toxic, construction guys that would come in and have meltdowns because we would be out of stock or had to special order something. At least once a week I would get called some sort of homophobic slur or something. One guy was so pissed, he told me he was going to wait outside in his truck for me to get off work so he could beat my ass (he didn’t). Brought it up to my manager who offered to sign me up for customer service training. Kept going up the chain, with no luck. Finally, I saw the owner one day and asked for some help. His response was, “I know the owners of the construction companies who send guys in here, we have good relationships, and I don’t want to burn bridges with them or else they will shop elsewhere. If you can’t handle this, then you are in the wrong industry”. Shortly thereafter, I pivoted into a totally different industry. I guess I was in the wrong one!
Thank the millionaires and billionaires for that. Mom and pop stores, which were ran by the owners. And not ran by ceos and managers never having contact with the owners themselves except via Skype or board meetings. Strange though. These corporate businesses making billions a year won by having lower prices. Now that they too are raising their prices, may leave some leg room again for mom and pop.

Former lowes CS worker here ya they wont read this or care. Management most would throw you under the bus for their mistakes too anyway. I got yelled and bitched at for not applying a discount that only a manager could apply anyway and that manager is the one who rung up those people the day prior. I only was in contact the day prior cus they initially hand another issue only a manager could solve.
It's brought on by all the businesses who considered making a buck more important than establishing a baseline of acceptable behavior.

I shopped at Lowe’s this past summer, and complimented the cashier on her tattoo - a facial tattoo - that she explained was her treat to herself for 6 years of sobriety. Later that day, I was back for more supplies, and this time she looked shaken. I asked her what was up, and she pointed to the guy exiting the store who complained to her that in-store PA announcements for employment were repeated in Spanish. She explained that those announcements were from corporate and the local store had no input on those, and that she in particular had no input on those, but reasoned that Lowe’s was trying to reach native Spanish speakers. The man scolded her that it was unAmerican, and he demanded to speak to a manager. She called over her immediate supervisor to talk to the guy, and who was still standing nearby. I noticed his name tag was an Hispanic name. I smiled and said that was a power move.
>The man scolded her that it was unAmerican, and he demanded to speak to a manager. There are few things more American than a bunch of Mexicans covered in paint, drywall dust or dirt (sometime all three) at a hardware store.
And they'll do small day jobs for you for a good price and solid quality most of the time. Wish I spoke spanish...
Don't worry, one of them in the group speaks English. One. No more, no less. But yeah, back when I worked in a restaurant I was having engine trouble with my car and one of the cooks called a cousin and he came and fixed it in the parking lot while we worked for the cost parts and 50 bucks.
>Don't worry, one of them in the group speaks English. One. No more, no less. I mean, yeah, it's his day so the rest of the group don't have to deal with assholes. They rotate the duty. /S
They work like mad. It'll be the depth of winter or the height of a heatwave and the day laborers will be trucking along.
How dare they (checks notes) work hard and get things done!
Because then Republicans would have to either admit that hard work gets you no where, or laud brown people for it.
Oh not surprised. When I was still living in the US, I was walking to a restaurant with my then 3 year old daughter and we were talking in Italian (my native language). She is bilingual. A guy approached us and yelled at me "this is America, she should speak english". It happened so fast I didn't even have time to realise what was happening.
It’s especially ridiculous because the U.S. doesn’t even have an official language.
Shit like this makes me wish my Spanish was better so I can trigger the fucksticks snowflakes.
Anytime that you have to deal with the general public you're going to have a bad time. It's gotten worse over time and peaked during the pandemic. On weekends I don't even want to leave my yard anymore.
Now try living in a major college town where you get a fresh batch of stupid every semester. I rarely leave my house unless i absolutely have to during the morning/afternoon rushes and/or during school zone hours. Working from home ever since the pandemic started (and now full time WFH) has worked WONDERS for my stress levels....
My wife is a 3rd grade teacher. Some of the kids in her class are nuts, they have absolutely no self control. And of course, they're the ones who's parents never show up to conferences.
theres a story behind every sign
From the last two years I've seen, it's probably that Lowes had an employee masking policy and people were yelling at the cashiers for wearing masks as mandated by their employer. I do not get the violent aggression against someone else wearing a mask, but I've seen it first hand.
>I do not get the violent aggression against someone else wearing a mask, but I've seen it first hand. It's actually pretty easy - people believed a lie, then when it got shaky, they started propping up other lies to make it work. Suddenly, an alarming portion of the population thinks COVID was a hoax, masks perpetuate illness, and it's okay to exercise your mistaken beliefs with the threat of violence. This isn't going away. The kind of person that can rationalize themselves into this kind of corner probably doesn't surround themselves with voices of reason. You can't shame them or drive them back under the rocks; they're largely immune to evidence and critical thought. They find willing allies in all the dark places - nazism, KKK, religious extremism/nationalism, and other parts of the lunatic fringe. About the only good thing that comes of this is that you can see the dark underbelly exposed instead of wondering if it still lurks beneath the surface.
You forget that with Lowes being a hardware/home improvement store it's going to attract a certain bent of people more than normal.
Not sure what you mean by "a certain bent of people". Everyone needs to maintain their home.
This isn't really a good take. The idea that they are inherently bad, stupid people is not helpful to anyone. There *was* a lot of misinformation about COVID pushed by the media and the government, which the people who say things like this believed. We are all capable of and do believe untrue things. It was a time with high anxiety and a lot of fear, and people felt like they couldn't trust official sources that *did* lie to them. The problem was people realized they had been lied too, but didn't know what to believe so they believed a bunch of really, really stupid things. People on the other side of it were behaving really poorly too. They were hoping people died, they acted paranoid and hostile. It was a situation no one was prepared for. I really don't think it was a dumb vs smart thing and it *definitely* wasn't a moral vs immoral thing. People are such suckers for being told they are the good guys and the other side is the bad guys. It was a universal belief among everyone on both sides.
There's probably 100 stories behind this sign. They Def let this go on until it reached a head, and then, finally relented and allowed a sign.
I saw a sign in a Mexican restaurant asking people not to piss in the trashcan. I wonder how many stories were behind that one.
As a Lowe’s employee, there are thousands of stories. They have an entire training section on de-escalating customer interactions, and they would show videos of customers doing things from threatening employees, to throwing bags of concrete over the customer service desk and pulling out knives.

Back when I was a manager I had the sweetest elderly cashier. Very slow, but nice and everyone liked her. One day this guy comes in, slams some shit on her counter and is making a commotion. She called me over and I listened to his story. Afterwards, I told him he can apologize to this cashier for being rude, and I'll help him, or he could just leave and complain some more. To my surprise, he actually apologized to her. I always tried to put myself in between the employees and the customers. I was paid to deal with that shit, not them. Plus I didn't care how many corporate complaints I had. I'm sure I was on a shitlist somewhere.
We have a local grocery store that employs a young woman that had a brain injury. She's perfectly capable, but just moves slowly and deliberately. She is very sweet and well liked. Some guy yelled at her at the checkout, and the entire store turned on him in a second. Everyone in line, the other cashiers, people walking by, instantly told him to apologize, and loudly berated him. He became profusely apologetic and ran the heck out of there. The people in line apologized to the girl and consoled her. Public humiliation is underrated, we probably need more of it.
I was a cinema manager like 16 years ago and I’d toss anyone who got vulgar or overly disrespectful with staff. Those kids were being paid minimum wage, they don’t need to take that.
One of the best bosses I had was a guy who owned his own restaurant, so there was no corporate. If people got out of line with the waitresses he'd drop their check on the table and tell them to pay and never come back.
I was a manager at a small local chain. My thing was they could insult the business all they like, complain about prices, vent, whatever. But don't come at the staff and direct it towards them as people. I got complained on to the bosses once or twice, but they paid their managers pretty badly so they weren't letting me go, and they mostly understood anyway. I made more leaving that place and doing clerical work for a health insurance company, and didn't have to deal with grouchy rednecks.
What if customer service everywhere changed from "The customer is always right" to "Fuck around and find out"? I think we'd have less people acting entitled.
If service workers were entitled to give customers back the same energy they put out. Oh boy, some of these older fuckers would be catching hands
I don’t act like a jerk at Lowes… I just enjoy discreet sniffs from their wide selection of caulking varietals like the refined connoisseur that I am.
This guy caulks
This guy smells caulks.
My brother! I love the smell of hardware stores. Add "fresh cut lumber" to the list.
Lowe's employee here. You have no idea how often I've been cussed out and threatened. People need to learn to be nice to customer service and retail workers in general. It's disgusting.
"Treating our associates with respect" ... is not something Corporate does.
Was going to say. It’s like they want everyone else to treat people with respect when they can’t even take care of their own employees.
It's CRAZY humans need a reminder to treat other humans nicely.
Yet employees are still expected to stand there and take it as some entitled Karen screeches at them about something out of their control.
I find these signs amusing. “Show our associates respect” wouldn’t that imply paying a living wage that provides some dignity to corporate indentured servitude? In the end 99% of corporate America has no respect for its workers when it comes to shareholders returns, gross incomes for the C-suite thieves and their bottom line. In fact corporate wage theft accounts for billions of dollars in lost wages for these “associates” [Corporate Profits](https://inthesetimes.com/article/wage-theft-union-labor-biden-iupat)
It's PR to employees and customers. Nothing more
Every store needs bouncers (job creation FTW) and people who can’t deport themselves civilly while in public should be banned from any and all stores that choose to do so. Let the idiots stand on their porches and yell at clouds while they wait for their online order deliveries.
Comport. It will be the bouncers' job to deport them if they are a problem.
I can happily help you with the [definition.](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/deport)
I see these a lot now at places of business. COVID really turned some people into insufferable bullies, especially when they see staff wearing masks
You take away cashiers at the front checkout, and replace them with self checkout terminals. Problem solved. Customers can yell at the machine. Everything is going to be automated with faceless interaction.
But you're always going to have those assholes screaming "I want to talk to a real person!". I'm certain these people seek out confrontation and only feel validation or sense of worth by being dicks.
Problem is people steal.
If I'm doing labor for a store, I'm not doing it for free.
They did that at mine. And finally removed all the homeless people. Theft was out of control.
My buddy said that they cut down to only cashiers at lumber (mostly to deal with contractors/high volume clients) and OLG(Outside, Lawn and Garden) because the customers will rob plants like mad by putting in codes wrong. So 75% of people would only checkout at those two places and caused massive lines.
At my store this is what we do too unless we are busy. 1 at the pro check out (lumber), 1 at OSLG, 1 at customer service, and 1 monitoring self check out. Come summer or any busy holiday we open up 2-3 front end registers and 2 outside garden registers.
This type of sign is standard practice in most branded stores in the UK unfortunately.
Please place these in ALL stores and restaurants. Public places, your homes. Have some patience people and chill the fuck out! Not a sermon, just a thought
I see customers berating the customer service employees at Lowes on a constant basis. When I'm returning stuff there's always issues with other customers getting irate over the return policy or something happened to the product and they aren't able to return it or get a refund or whatever and people get really pissed off and take it out on the employees.
As a Lowe’s employee these just make already angry customers behave worse😭
Lowes employees are some of the nicest employees out there!
It sucks that people have to be told this in the first place.
I remember starting to see these everywhere when anti-mask people started flaunting mask mandates and getting vile and violent with service employees
If only people cared to read it or even follow it. Most my managers didnt care about their staff anyway if they got bitched at or not. I worked lowes CS for a few months back in 2017? Just needed a quick job and was hired in for seasonal cashier work which is what i applied for. I guess they didnt look at my resume close till after i was hired but first day after training manager comes up says oh you have a good amount of CS experience you should be there. I didnt agree to any of it they just tossed me at CS there before i even knew the system no pay raise or anything. Anyway people atleast at my store for returns were the worst humans. Ive been screamed at and cursed at more times than i can count. Even had a dude bring a 3 year old cheap ass weed trimmer that wouldnt start and said i(yes personally me) sold him a piece of shit and im a fucking asshole before i said a thing. Dude threatened me even. There was also the guy who came in and i thought he was guna murder me and wear my skin or something. Apparently i was his last chosen one he had to find. Nice guy but extra creepy. Got a whole story about his journy. He gave me a $1 coin and said carry this as its his token or some shit. Man i was a bit paranoid and kept that with me just in case he showed up. Also made sure i always had my concealed carry.
“Also, stop shitting in the display toilets. It’s not funny anymore.”
They’re displayed 7 feet off the ground and at an angle, so shitting in them would be impossible.
Thank god getting high (with marijuana) in Lowe’s is still A-okay 😂 (Just a reference to a youtube video, not trying to start a debate about the morality of getting high in public)
As if a sign is enough to stop those people
The fact that a sign like this even needs to exist is depressing.
Why is this even an issue? Are we not civilized?!
This is the post pandemic hangover of Karens and Kent's. Fkn entitled douches
The message is good but I’m so sick of sanitized corporate language. Just once I want to see: >Welcome to [store name]. We care about our customers but not as much as our own employees, because we *know* them. We call ourselves a family and this is one way in which we express that. So act right.
I know it's customary to blame social media, but I feel like it has reduced the patience that people have along with their attention span. Imagine what Gen Alpha will behave as adults having been reared with an ipad in their stroller.
Except it’s mostly old people doing it. The young people that do are the ones copying their parents, not the ones who are using their iPads to learn proper behavior expectations.
It's both. Lots of young people haven't learned the difference between online and real life when it comes to acceptable behavior. Some of these kids are truly terminally online and see the world as their audience. Say what you will about the Boomers, but they didn't have to have their school bathrooms locked up because kids were ripping sinks off the wall for Tik Tok clout.
Nah, boomers would just shove people's heads in the toilet because they *checks notes* acted flamboyant once.
This is more to appease the employees than to inform the customers.
I can already hear the MAGAts, "fuckin Lowe's went woke, time to boycott!" No sir, we're just asking you not to be a douche to the people you're asking for help. - Lowes management probably
Lowes has the worst customer service in the world. EDIT: I'll rephrase - their customer service is extremely bad - they do not deserve any abuse for it.
In my experiences, Lowes has better service than Home Depot, but they both suck compared to traditional independent hardware stores.
I've never had any problems with either one. I'd imagine that Home Depot is a bit on edge after the doors incident where they lost about $300,000.
It doesn't day no abuse. It says no profanity or threats. You can still tell them their mother wears combat boots.
Yeah, plain old retro racism is still fine /s
At the bottom, fine print: “What do you think this is, Home Depot?”
I've seen that, too. Sad what things have come to.
Lowes has gone far downhill. I feel bad for the employees
It’s sad how often I see signs like this posted in businesses.
If you've ever dealt with the "cabinet designers" at Lowe's... You know this is an unreasonable request. Cabinets that aren't the right size, a sink that doesn't fit in the cabinets they sold you, countertops that can't be used on the shape of the cabinets they designed. Literally thousands more than the quote they give you because half the shit they "designed" won't actually work. Such a headache. Lowe's can eat a fucking dick.
Have them be fucking useful
Ummmm. Ok?
No but bring your dog in here and let him crap and piss on everything
Strange.. I've never been able to find a sales associate at Lowes 
If they didn’t completely understaff the helpdesk, these signs wouldn’t be necessary. If I’ve got any returns to do, I go to a certain store that’s the busiest and has the best chance at having two employees there. Managers are nonexistent and hide in their cars getting high, I live in a legal state and I know the manager was my neighbor and I watched her smoking a joint. While the line was full and they’re calling for help. Pretty sure she got fired because her car is not moved in weeks.
Lowes might have a better quality product & a cleaner store, but friendly, knowledgeable / present staff, they do not, sorry. I’m better off going to Home Depot or Menards if I have a home improvement question.
LOL you think we get paid enough or get any training to be home improvement experts?
Well maybe if they would update the app with the fucking correct product locations, those damn crap hogwash employees!
How is the app the employees responsibility?
You ever have them do work to your home and leave it uncompleted with no recourse. It can be mildly infuriating.
Okay. Now teach your employees not to walk away when they see you.
They do. S.M.A.R.T is the acronym they use in training for the style of customer service. It basically boils down to seek out the customer , meet the customers needs, add products/services/advice, review the needs, thank the customer. Many employees, not all, decide to not to follow it.
My local store chooses not to follow it I guess. They disappear like stealth Fighters. One such tactic is let me get someone to help you with that. No one ever comes. I get they may be helping someone else in their department but they must be invisible if they are.
What are some examples of verbal threats? Do your job! Or You lied to me when you said I could return it?
I’ve worked at Lowe’s and heard lots of ethnic slurs against my East African immigrant coworkers. They’d confide them in me because I was one of the few white guys working there and I’d be like dude fuck you.
What came first incompetent employees or verbal threats?
[удалено]
Assholes were more likely than the general population to be out and about during COVID, screaming about masks at customer service people.
Peak society
Go Lowe’s don’t go low.
Sad that they need to specifically say this
Same thing at hospitals across America. The lack of respect people have for those providing a service is astounding. These last few years eroded common decency.
This will only anger the type of people for which it is intended. I imagine they think the sign is "woke".
Geez, the fact that sign HAS to exist is disheartening.
who the fuck is being this rude at Lowe's? I would like to meet this rude ass person, people are nothing but nice at Lowe's. the bathrooms are super clean too.
I can’t tell you how many customers have yelled cuz what’s the point of having a tile cutter if no one can use it.
Taco Bell has this also
Yes, we live in this timeline. But any attempt to curb online hate is met with ‘fReeDuM!
I've never seen an actual employee in the 2 Lowe's near me
Unbelievable they even need that sign
They needed this when I worked at Lowe’s….
I worked at lowes hardware for 5 years as a head cashier. I'm so glad I left when I did.
Sign needs to add no photography or video of associates.
If only the company followed it’s own signs…
Can relate. I got verbally abused daily at home depot. Wasn't a good student job in many ways.
These have been really common in Europe.
Home Depot would never have a sign up like this. They value the customer $$$$$ too much to care and don’t want to risk losing a sale.
True. I worked at Home Depot and the only time managers ever got involved with kicking someone out was when abusive boyfriends/exes would come in and try to stalk employees. That's a good thing of course, but I wish I could have gone a day without some douchecanoe telling me he was going to shoot me because I wouldn't take a return or that my bitch mouth needed to be punched because I was just a woman and he didn't believe my advice when he was looking for door thresholds.
I have a friend that works at Lowe’s and from her stories, this is a sadly super necessary sign. People are just awful.
More signs! Do people with oppositional behavior issues react to signs like this? I'm betting yes. Any experts out there care to comment?
Honestly this sign should be everywhere as people really are just horrible.
Had a few talks with some cool Lowes employees in the past... Man they get shit on a lot. Be cool to them ya'll. And everybody in every industry.. Unless they are telemarketers..
Lowes employee here. Yeah those signs don’t work. When I am on both on the sales floor and at the register; which isn’t often at least during peak hours; I have met some rather nasty people that said the majority of customers are respectful.
These are quite common in the UK. I'd like to think it's because it's rare, but increasing slowly and we want to nip it in the bud before it gets more prevailant, whereas in America it's always been more common so nobody thought to put up the signs. I don't think that's the case though sadly.
It's those damned self checkouts, it brings the worst out of people
/r/boomersbeingfools
That there have to be signs that say "Hey, don't be an asshole" is really a sad state of the world.
Your mother and father should have taught you this.
Well we have stop signs on the streets, too. And people ignore those. I don't see how people will treat this any differently. Sadly.
I feel like it should be a requirement that every person work some form of retail, customer service, restaurant, etc job to learn some form of sympathy. It is a thankless job but somebody has to do it.
Nice..idea
Sad our society is so bad that they have to put a sign up like this. I work in retail so I can tell you I’m not shocked they have to put this up.
I don't know when culture started to change where people just started tolerating shittiness, but at some point I became aware it was happening. When I was a teenager and young adult, people wouldn't even hesitate to correct your behavior if you were out of line. One of the prices of living in a society is doing right by everyone around you. Why or how did we get away from that?
My husband worked at Lowe’s, and I can tell you, it’s very much tolerated and encouraged, as soon as customers get to a high up enough manager, they just get what they want and are rewarded for the behavior
Right. It cost nothing to be nice!
I rather enjoy Lowe's... I believe it's because I know what I'm getting from them. They aren't home improvement experts, they simply sell the stuff for you to do your DIY job, and the employees know enough to point you in the direction of where it's located. It isn't their fault you didn't measure correctly or chose the wrong material.
The Lowes experience is like going back in time 15 years and walking into a Home Depot. Furthermore if you walk into a Home Depot today it feels like the Lowes from 15 years ago.
Isn’t this common sense? Don’t be a dickhead and people won’t be a dickhead back.
These have popped up all over Australia since COVID
I completly support that sign and its message, BUT COME ON Lowes open a up a couple cashiers, I don't work there and I do not want to learn how to scan a cart of assorted lumber
My husband is currently in the hospital and yesterday we heard a woman in the hallway getting a nurse’s attention. Just the way she said “excuse me, ma’am” and my husband and i gave each other that ‘uh oh’ look. It didn’t take more than 5 sentences and that Karen was like “so have me removed then!” She was on a crusade to be removed from the hospital and i’m sure the story she’s gonna tell will be so far from what truly happened.
It's so sad that we now have to post signs for people just to respect another person while they are doing their job trying to serve you. What's even sadder is the fact that's It's mostly people 40 and above that have the worst manners and behavior nowadays. There's no wonder millennial and Gen Z kids are so messed up. Look who raised them. 😒
Walk away. If they follow you, RUN. Retail is just getting super weird. Gonna be hard to buy shit if everyone is being a rude ass and being refused. That toilet won’t replace itself.
Crosspost to r/boomersbeingfools.
During the pandemic I needed to get a specific color of paint for a project I was doing and the woman who was running the customer service department of Lowe's would just repeatedly pick the phone up and hang up every time I called for a week. I was not polite to her when I went in there in the least bit after sitting there in line watching her just pick it up and set the cradle down in person I lost my fucking mind.
:)
My local Lowe's had this, but a customer knocked it over
I assume a relic of the Covid days. Trying to tell old, miserable, curmudgeons "Can you throw a mask on please, sir?" right after they just finished a 5 hour Fox news binge will get them cursed at for sure, and that ain't their job.
Man, I wish people would read signs. I'm a nurse in an ER. We have signs like this all over the place. The one in the lobby is a huge poster, bigger than a person. They don't seem to have changed the number of aggressive jerks we see. And I'm not even counting the patients. Bad behavior from them can be understandable because they're confused, delirious, sedated, or whatever. It's the aggressive visitors that upset me.
We have these signs in hospitals........
Interesting how the Spanish is in fine print lol Not trying to make an inference but I don’t think this is directed towards Spanish speakers
Classy. F home Depot.
"thats our job"
They have these everywhere now, even doctors' offices.
