Has Anyone Here On DU Had Any Customer Service Issues/Problems With Lowe's?.....

8. Yeppers, just like them

I learnt this a couple decades ago, insurance companies are in business to not insure you. They have the lawyers, and they have their giant influence from our legislators to get tax free presence. At any rate I will never go to Lowes if I can although Home Depots are awful too. Their head owners actually hate their employees, saying out loud that workers "steal" from him. My DIL worked there and they were horrible to her although her fellow employees loved her.

Local hardware stores, who do pay taxes are now where I try to patronize. But I am poor and my "dollar votes" do not make much of a impact. But I will say, go local if you can. Yazh they may be more expensive, but not that much of any if you go with them. They know you, they are usually better equipped, you do not have to travel as far, so in the end they are a better place.

Oh and I would urge you to contact your legislators to tell them how much better your community would be if those big box businesses paid taxes. And not rely upon their employees to pay taxes and then claim the company paid those taxes. I wrote to mine and told them why I refuse go to stores who do not pay local and federal taxes. They said they heard me but, let's face it, who am I but a retired low wage worker.

Hope this helps, Cat in Seattle
