| - I was going to give this place a solid three stars since its just a Lowes afterall. Then, I remembered the totally rude employee at the self-checkout. My boyfriend and I set out to pick up some chlorine and other items for his parent's pool. His father let him use his credit card since it was a purchase for them and it was going to be fairly expensive.
Anyways, we got here around 5pm and the store was by no means packed or busy. We wandered around the gardening department for a bit and found what we were looking for. We wheeled everything to the front where we were just going to self-check out. There was a guy there who didn't look friendly at all and sort of waved in our direction. There was a lady ahead of us who looked like she may need his help, so I assumed he meant her. Well, he didn't. He meant us, and in the rudest way announces, "I *said* I can help you over here." Insert his nasty eye-rolling.
If I were in my 70s and senility was forgivable, I'd have marched up to that young man and smacked him across his little face. Okay, I'm 23 and I know that kind of thing gets people arrested. My boyfriend didn't seem to care much (or notice) that this kid was rude, but it just bothered me for some reason. Another thing that bothered me was he swiped the credit card given to my boyfriend by his dad and didn't even check ID. Oh, he asked. I know that nothing criminal was taking place, but it made me wonder how easily it must be for people to use someone else's (stolen) cards here.
Employee, "Do you have ID?"
My boyfriend, who stupidly didn't have any on him (which makes him just as much to blame, I guess), "No.. I left it in the car I think."
Employee, "Oh, it doesn't even matter." *swipes card*
Ughhh.
