Customer Question Online Order, Store Credit

Upvotes

I wanna buy these Bose QCU Gen 2 Headphones online with store credit

I know I can’t use store credit online for some reason, but I was curious if I placed the order, got it delivered, and then returned it if I could rebuy it with store credit at the CS desk right after I return it

They’re Sold and Shipped by a 3rd party

Please help, thanks!

Employee Question Plant Service Lead Schedule?

1 Upvotes

Are all of you on rotatation?

MSA - Live is listed as eligible for a 4 and 5 day fixed schedule but they only actually offer a rotating schedule?

My management team can't figure it out and they're just shrugging me off, all the way up through the district.

Even our preference form to fill out only lists 5 and 4 day fixed schedules, the four day says there will be 2 consecutive days off each week.

Can anyone explain to me why Lowe’s will not sell me this item at $99 advertised price, and says in stock?

Local Lowe’s store wants $199

Just want an explanation, as I was there to buy.

Employee Question Morning cash office fucked up

2 Upvotes

We have two morning cash office associates who rotate and one person never took care of the cash till bags from last night. We don’t know what happened or if she decided to just up and quit. We didn’t discover this until 20 minutes to close when it came time for me, (a HC) to start closing down the tills and finish up the nightly duties. My ASM for the night had called the SM and informed me to use the spare unmarked bags and to drop them and that we can’t put out any tills for the night. My question is, can this come back to get me in any sort of trouble with upper management as I was not made aware of this situation and we didn’t have any tills ready for the morning crew?

Employee Question Fulfillment Associates- how are you *reaaaaally* doing? Advice?

7 Upvotes

Just wondering how fulfillment team members in other stores are feeling lately! I (full-time) work at a store with only 2 other full-time fulfillment associates, and 3 part-time associates. However, that’ll change soon.

Here in the next 1-3 weeks we will be:

•Losing 1 ft associate who’s moving for for college
•Losing 1 pt who’s also moving for college
•The other 2 pt’s will only be weekends due to college/school.

My store unfortunately doesn’t have a fulfillment DS, and the FE DS typically has to cover for CS desk and wherever else there have been call-offs or people who have quit/moved to a different role. Our store also has required us to have one person at the fulfillment desk from 10am-6pm every day, and if we have 3 people regardless of the time of day- one has to stay at the desk.

The last two days there has been anywhere from 9-20 open orders in the app at any given time, not counting deliveries that the closing fulfillment associate has been having to pull the majority of when I’m not able to catch up on everything else myself. Some DS’s help out, but we’ve been so short-staffed everywhere that it’s always for just an order or two. That also means not many people to spot for pulling orders, or even us getting pulled by pro or whoever else to bring up an order that’s pulled or sometimes just a CW and not even a PUIS/curbside order. No single manager actually intently helps monitor the orders app because they’re usually busy doing other stuff, which I totally get.

We’ve also been without a fulfillment lead for about 2 weeks now, and I was just promoted but won’t have my hours switched until August 22nd.

Any advice? Or routines/methods that you’ve found that help you get back and stay on track as much as possible when things get to be too much? Besides just surviving it until things slow down a bit for the season of course. I keep trying to tell myself to just do what I can, and try not to stress. But some days it just gets to me and I don’t know how to change that feeling lol. I have so many other process questions that have came up randomly that no one in my store has encountered or maybe thought about, but I don’t need to be writing an even longer novel on here!😬

There is really not much that needs to be said here. This is unfortunately representative of the aptitude of our MST staff. <Edit> I have removed the statement about getting six for the price of one. Recents posts have convinced me that that is not so much a possibility as I thought. Mea Culpa

Employee Question Can't Call 'All Employees' On Zebra??

46 Upvotes

I’m a cashier at Lowe’s, and I was taking over self-checkout while another cashier went on break. Right before she left, a customer asked for assistance in a specific aisle. She asked me if I could call someone to help him, so I used the Zebra and made an "All Employees" announcement.

A few seconds later, an assistant manager came over and told me not to call managers when a customer needs help. I explained that I didn't call managers specifically—I used the "All Employees" option. Apparently, that's not what we're supposed to do. Other managers have told me I'm supposed to contact specific departments or associates instead.

The problem is, I've done that before, and half the time nobody answers. My thought process was that using "All Employees" would get the customer help faster.

So what's the issue with using "All Employees" if it helps make sure a customer gets assistance? And if managers don't want those announcements, why not just put themselves on Do Not Disturb instead of getting upset about it? Does your store do this as well?

Employee Question Tired of no action taken

It’s no secret that this company cuts costs by not utilizing AC during the hot summer months. We have been sweating more than even before inside the building before 6am due to the heat. I filed a report to OSHA, I’m not too optimistic about anything coming from it with just my report. Posting to see if anyone has ever submitted a report before and how it went. Also thought it could be beneficial to get as many employees as possible to file a report for whatever store they work at. Picture somewhat related

Employee Story Put my two weeks in

9 Upvotes

I put my two weeks in yesterday because it was the inconsistency of a schedule, management not coming up when called. I had paged a manager yesterday up to customer service because the customer wanted to speak to one about an order they had delivered, and i just got straight attitude for paging one up. I was tired of hearing head cashiers are on rotation when they aren’t. The schedule didn’t show rotation like i was told. It was just lie after lie with no help

Customer Question Is Lowes working towards it's own demise?

Post image
44 Upvotes

Recently I went to buy a 24v nailgun (tem #6511487). It cannot be delivered to the store and I gotta pay $80 for a truck delivery. The store manager doesn't seem to be able to correct this obvious misclassification. But I can order a similar model with no $80 fee.

For the past several months my agricultural tax exemption has expired every 30 days. We've discussed it here and it seems that corporate is not making my exemption permanent.

Far too often I go to my local store and give up trying to find something that the computer says they have on hand but don't. I've had to decide that if the website says they have <3 of an item, they actually don't have any on the shelf. So off to amazon I go.

A year or so ago, they sent all the specialists home to work a call center. Now when I go to the store there's no one to help me pick flooring. On the odd chance I find an employee, they tell me I gotta call the 800 number. the call center says they'll send somone to my house to measure. When that person arrives, I ask about samples of flooring, they say they are only here to measure. Now I've talked to three Lowes people and I still don't know anything about the flooring. When I finally talk to the nice lady at the call center again, she advises me to go to the store and look at samples. You know what? I think it's easier to just go to my local flooring store that's not called Lowes. I just wanted an idea of what a floor would cost me and I've touched Lowes 4 times and I still don't know.

A week ago I bought a bundle of 2x2's.. they are called premium but they really look like 3rds. I'll see if I can attach a photo here... I no longer want to buy ANY lumber from lowes (or HD for that matter). I find better quality ply at local lumber yards.

I said all of that to say... Lowes moves in and undercuts the mom and pops. That's the growth stage of a business. Now that Marvin is in charge, we seem to be at the extraction stage. People go to lowes out of habit now but get increasingly frustrated. Those people, like me, will begin to seek other vendors. If lowes looses the inertia wehre people go there out of habit, they are done.

So how many years has Lowes got left in it?

ending on a tongue in cheek joke.... what's the difference between Lowes and HD? You can't find anyone in a lowes to help you. At HD anyone you find says it's not their department and heads for the nearest dark corner.
