Lowe’s was deemed an essential market by the governor of Nevada.
I agree if an emergent situation arises, you need help, i.e., if your fridge, freezer, AC goes out during the pandemic.
Lowe’s stores are crowded each day with people buying flowers, paint, mulch, etc.
There is nothing emergent about that, and as they wander around the store oblivious to the fact that they may be spreading this virus to other customers and associates, they may also may be exposed and take it home to their families or who knows where.
All the while, at daily huddles, managers are bragging about record profits.
Lowe’s is profiteering during a hardship much the same as a wartime profiteer.
The fix is simple: Close all non essential departments. All essential items must be ordered on-line and they will be delivered to your car curbside when you arrive.

Management needs to stop being rude to associates too.
