Lowes

[bruiser]

Was at Lowes this morning. My favorite place. We don't have any other home improvement stores here in town other than a locally owned chain that sells mostly building supplies and another locally owned small chain that deals in mostly contractor truck load materials.

Anyway, this Lowes has changed. Don't know if it's new management or what. The associates are more friendly and helpful than they were before. So, I was there this morning getting some LED bulbs. I always look around and I was in the shelving area. This really cute female associate comes up and asked if I was finding what I needed. I said "Well, I dropped a hundred dollar bill and now I can't find it". She said, sounding genuinely concerned, " how long ago did you drop it". I said "about a month ago". I didn't know if I should run or what. She paused for a minute and said "you're joking right"? I laughed, then she started laughing. She's probably cussing me out in the break room.

Good experiences with the people that are working in stores are great. Wish that carried across to all the places we go these days. Good customer service is a few and far between thing these days.

 

[bcoulter19]

you know a lot of the time good customer service starts with the customer.

A good point--but does not apply to me at all. I am the worlds bestest and nicest customer. Customer service people wait for hours just hoping that I will come in. :roflblack::roflblack:

:shocked: They ALL hate me... :shocked:

I wasn't implying anything about anyone, but having worked in custo mer service in a past life. I know that if I have a good day and most of my customers have been pretty good and the person stnading in front of me or on the phone doesn't start off like an a** then most of the time I could be very helpful. But all that being said everyone can have a bad day. :yikes:

No issues taken with your comments. Just couldn't resist a comeback. Hey, it's Monday and I remember the good old days when I worked as a store manager for 29 + years. :thumbup::yes::yes:

Back in March I took my lawn mower battery in for replacement. When I got to the customer service desk the lady asked me what I needed. I told her i bought the battery there and it won't hold a charge. She asked when I bought it, I said 2011. You should have seen the look on her face. It was like "what a moron". Then I told her i was just joking. Her face changed real quick and she started laughing.

One I like to pull is on a waitress, I'm sorry, server. When they ask me what I want to drink, I ask for a diet water. :hun:

Another trick I like to play on the waitress/waiter is "Do you take American money Here?" (Were in Alaska)

What if they say, "NO!"? :shockedHow far are you from Canada?)

600 miles or so--due West.

RE: Money--When traveling in Canada, I always carry about $500 worth of Canadian money. I go to a bank so I can get the "official" exchange rate of the day.

Its amazing that most merchants cannot calculate the proper exchange rate roflblack. It always seems to be in their favor by a couple %. To solve the problem, I just pay in Canadian funds when in Canada. And that is your free travel tip of the day. :roflblack:

To follow around somebody, who's carrying large amounts of foreign money; try to talk them into buying you lunch! :2thumbs:

Sometimes I pay for fast food with 2 dollar bills, had the manager called twice, the police once.:doorag:

In the days before direct deposit, I was stationed in England. We got paid in $2.00 bills and Susan B. Anthony dollars. We came back to the states on leave we had a pocket full of the funny money. Talk about problems. We paid a bridge toll using a $2.00 bill. The toll taker was ready to call out the troops. "What the hell is this"? "You trying to be funny"? "Pull over, I'm calling the bridge police". Took a half hour to convince them that it was legal tender. The cop asked if he could have one. I said sure, he gave me two ones and I gave him a 2 bill. I showed them some Susie Bs, he wanted two of them.
