Lowe's can't hold a candle, or a light, or lumber, or step ladders to Home Depot in any category. Unfortunately Lowe's is much closer to me for basic needs but after going to Home Depot and being treated like a king I won't be going back to Lowe's again.
After walking to the lighting department I was almost instantly helped but a knowledgable associate who helped me get a great price on some lighting and recommended some energy saving bulbs. He then directed me to what I needed next where I was instantly helped by another smiling associate. This type of service and attention to customers is what will keep me coming back for years.
