Lowe's vs Menard's

[Military]

Lowe's offers a military member, past or present, a 10% discount on purchases.
Menard's who advertises they stock "Made in the USA" products offers NO discount to military. Why?

[Mek]

Who cares about 10%. Menards is by far a better store. Come out of the past century dude.

Dude? Don't think so last I looked!
Come out of the past century? NO!
Come out of Iraq? YES

if the prices at Menards are 10% lower or more than lowes then why would you want to go to lowes to get the discount?

[Guest]

Overall, are the prices 10% lower?

[guest]

idk it was an example

[guest]

I don't like Menards. Lowes is way better!

[Guest]

Lowes has had lousy customer service for years & I avoid them unless I have no other choice. I was in there a few days ago & it seemed better, but they do have a new competitor right down the street, go figure.

Before....no one cared to wait on me at Lowes and seemed put out to have to help, or even check you out.

Now, Lowes knocked me down with handouts, raffles, and every clerk offered to help me. Funny what competition can do!

[Guest]

With regard to Lowe's... Too little too late.
They should have provided that attention all along.
It's Menard's for me!

[BillyBob]

I agree "to little to late" I have been going in there for years and very seldom can you find someone that wont turn and go the other way when you have the look on you face that "I need some Help".

[guest]

I dont shop at lowes any more since they put spanish on there signs.. This is America Speak ENGLISH Bitch

I got treated like an absolute idiot by the guy that runs the tool department at Lowes. I agree, too little too late. If you want to keep customers provide good customer service everyday, not when competition comes knockin'

What? You mean you actually found an employee in the tool department? Congratulations. You are indeed one of the few. I've seldom found assistance in tools and certainly never in hardware / fasteners.

If Menards maintains their stock and retains half the currently level of Customer Service / Greeting, Lowes will be seriously hurt.

I got lucky and he happened to be in the department when I was there, he acted annoyed just by me asking for help. They lost a sale that day. I'm just glad that there is someone else in town. Maybe Lowes will start firing the people that don't like customers and replace them with people that are more willing to help.

I bet the employees get tired of every weekend DIY'er coming in asking dumb stupid questions like "hey what kind of tool you reckon I need to replace that thar Johnson rod on my toilet?"

It's called customer service. That happens to be there job. If they don't like it they need to quit.

Why does the military guy think he deserves a discount. He got paid to be on the military got good insurance good retirement job security and more. We don't owe you squat jack

Wow, what an attitude and what a statement to make during this holiday!
You were never in the military with your shitty trash talk.
We owe "the military guy" far more than he will ever receive. He probably put his life on the line for your sorry ass! And, he sure didn't owe you squat, Jack!!
