So its Pro Event week. How are other stores doing after 2 full days?
We havent gotten any credit cards or opened any new accounts and foot traffic is abysmal.
Its been a a slow Sept start which is not normal. Fall and cooler temps have always meant an uptick in foot traffic, especially contractors this time of year but not in 2019!
We are so short-staffed that most of us in pro havent even been there anyway.
I dotn see how Marv and racist Joe plan on taking away contractor business from Home Depot like this. I asked one couple who flips houses why they havent opened a Pro Account w/ us, and her reply was, "because.... Lowes is for the home owner, and HD for the contractor! We have always had a HD Pro account for business stuff."
We dont even offer a mere 10% off when opening a new account because Marv needs more money in his own pockets to inflate his ego and pay for his buddies, and useless corp positions and elaborate tech centers.
Whats even worse is, all Lowes cares about is the QUANTITY of accounts opened. If I open 5, all approved with 20k credit lines, and another guy opens 10 that all get failed, he is congratulated up and down and I am chastised for "not doing as good." So the last few inexperienced clowns they hired simply make up people and enter accounts knowing it will be rejected or open ones for friends, family, etc - the entire system is a sham, and corp is too dumb to even know these glitches, or fallacies in the process.
Its really is bad. A chit show of disgrace. I cant even honestly, with any integrity at all, tell good people to open an account because I KNOW the poor service, lies, and BS they will receive. Deliveries never go, even when pulled and staged a week in advance!
The employees have no experience, and just tell every customer to order online. They have no construction background, and cant build a deck or even know what a ledger board is,.
If corp is trolling these forums, it IS, that bad!
Its all gonna get a lot worse.
