Nostalgia originally meant something like "homesickness" as in Odysseus missing his family and estate. Pain is an integral part of the feeling

Pennywise the Frown posted:I got two different pair of jeans last time I went there. Both the exact same measurements but different brands. 36x32 or something. One pair, the legs were about 4-6" longer lol. I got these polos for work that pretty cheap, and 2 of them were 100% cotton, and one was a poly blend, and the cotton ones shrank a bit and seem to wrinkle easier. All the same brand, just different colors. Just a bizarre store at times.

pencilhands posted:home depot is the worst offender i swear they make it as hard to find the one open non self checkout as possible i always make sure i go there even if i only have one thing to buy just to spite them loving Home Depot: - at one point (hopefully no longer) offered checkout with PayPal accounts, god help you if you were in line behind someone logging in with that - gives a military discount, yet you can only access it with a QR code generated from the Home Depot phone app, which requires internet access, except all Home Depots are loving smartphone Faraday cages and their wifi is dialup-tier so good luck with that - the only loving store left in the world that hasn't upgraded their POS to card/phone RFID tap. You have to insert a credit card.

Been gone for a long while, replaced them with Totinos for a hot minute, then some weird pepperoni pocket things that were larger than the rolls but smaller than hot pockets and now, mine doesn't have anything close besides bagel bites. poo poo sucks out there but I probably shouldn't have been eating so many of them anyway. Home Depot are huge chuds too if that means anything.

On any given day either of the stores wouldn't have the thing I needed and I end up at both, thankfully they're next door so it's not far out of my way. Also they each have exclusive deals with various brands so I get stuck no matter what. My bathroom used all schluter material, so that meant Lowe's or floor and decor. At least Lowes has scanner guns! Even if they're corded. Costco plz!

I'm looking it up and Walmart disables it to try to get people to only use "WalMart Pay" as their contactless method. But why the gently caress does Home Depot block it? Do vendors charge them more of a transaction fee than with chip insertion?

Also, To get my partner's military discount at Lowe's I just input her phone #, HD insists on scanning the military ID every time...but it's hers, not mine, so that doesn't work as well if she's not with me. And I don't feel I'm scamming Lowe's, they ALLOWED us to attach her Veteran's Discount to my Lowe's account, knowing I'm not a veteran, so that's on them! But yeah, anytime I go, there is often ONLY the self-checkout lanes open, no real one.

The Lowes 10% discount is easier to use, but the flipside is that they're roughly 5-10% more expensive than HD on everything they sell. I buy a LOT of stuff from both.

My HD story is that I recently needed to make a lumber order, which I had never done before, and I was told to go to the Pro Desk. So I went to the Pro Desk and it was empty, and I asked an employee and they said it's usually closed that day but they'd call someone to send over, which was very cool of them. Ten minutes later a guy shows up only to tell me that the Pro Desk is closed that day. Awesome, thank you.

Chinatown posted:ACE Hardware Supremacy. Oh Hells yeah, Lowe's and HD aren't sending me random $5 off $20 coupons in the main, or just random $5 reward bucks. I assume I get $5 for every $100 I spend, so that's sort of like a blanket 5% off all day, every day. Not counting the aforementioned coupons for like $3 of $15, $5 off $20, etc... PLUS, the one near me finally brought the popcorn machine back, so free lunch, too!

i cant speak to the ownership of home depot vs lowes but at the lowes by me they do have like 8 spots in their parking lot reserved for veterans. the only reason i think home depot is marginally better is because they have people there who stand a chance of maybe helping you. some of them even have general knowledge of the products they sell and if youre lucky, they may even be able to give you tips on how to use those products. at lowes the few employees that are at the store openly despise and avoid all forms of customer interaction (i mean ... fair). the employees dont even seem to want to help each other. last time i was at lowes for maybe 20 minutes looking at plants literally the entire time some poor employee was calling for a manager, any manager, over the intercom with increasingly desperate pleas of "customer is waiting!"

This doesn't match my experience at any of the lowes and HDs in my area. They are basically the same = soulless big box hardware stores with some friendly and some unfriendly folks at various levels of helpfulness. I actively dislike Lowe's newish account bullshit. I don't want to have to give you my phone number to log in to my account to get my discounts. Just let me flash my ID and have the cashier give it to me. HD still lets me do that. Costco rules.

Absolutely just about every Lowes experience for me (one time had a really helpful old guy in paint). I've spent upwards of 30 minutes just waiting for someone to show up in whatever department I need help from. Lowes is staffed by the most apathetic, unhelpful, young (hate to say that poo poo) staff of any retail store I've ever had the misfortune of shopping at. Yeah, nobody gives a gently caress at walmart or target, but that's OK, I don't need your knowledge or help there. I just need you to authorize this transaction so I'm not stealing this poo poo. Home depot is about as bad, but at least there are 20 individuals on shift at home depot. Lowes has maybe 8 people on staff at any given time. 2 people at returns, 1 on (self) checkout, 2 in garden, and everyone else scattered to the 4 winds. But where I am it's either Lowes halfway across town, Menards a little further away, but construction and a bad parking lot keep me away, Home Depot about 30 minutes away, or Ace. My Ace is close, and new, and well staffed. Unfortunately, it is missing some of the selection of a big box some store. No lumber for example.

20 staff on the floor at HD just means 20 people to actively flee from you when you need help.Chinatown posted:ACE Hardware Supremacy. Most ACE stuff is like double the price of anywhere else, but I will say they've done great with copying obscure non-chip car keys lately.

Lowe’s tries too hard. “Oh look, our store is well lit.” “Oh look, our shelves are well stocked.” “Oh look, we lock up expensive items in modular manufactured cages.” “Oh look, our staff still have hopes and dreams that you haven’t yet crushed.” Meanwhile, over at Home Depot, the store is lit exclusively by the display models in the lighting department, the shelves look like looters have hit them, expensive items are locked away behind chicken wire and 2x4s zip-tied to the shelving, and the staff are so thankful when you treat them like human beings that they’ll give you their discretionary discount. ACE is great but dances dangerously close to being the Whole Foods of hardware stores.
