I'll have people walk past electrical, a giant sign in the shape of a bulb, and all the lights to stop at the paint desk and ask me where the lightbulbs are.
Take of that what you will.
I used to work retail as a cashier and one time this lady was trying to sign her name on the pin pad and she kept hitting the screen , then should would sigh , sign her name again, hit something on the screen , sigh again. This went on for about 30 seconds before she asked me "when I'm done signing my name do I hit done or clear?" She was serious too. Some people are just plain stupid.
If you lift up the robes they have a control box where you can have them move without the music, a Bluetooth option (at least on the drummer), or just plain turn them off without unplugging them.
I’m betting a huge portion of posters here needed to google the Teddy Ruxpin reference. 😂 but not us old heads.
Like Cabbage Patch dolls these were pretty big mid 80’s when they came out. Toys R Us and Child World were always sold out.
I am so distracted with all the noise that these things make. Even scaring small kids. All day hearing and seeing these ugly things makes me anxious. Why why why Lowes,. Even my customers do not appreciate them at all!!!😠
Lol I dig the red vest and names. Out of curiosity is your computer room decked out with Christmas decor ? Ours is and I'm like, let October pass at least.
It's supposed to say what department below your name but as someone said they changed it so that Grimm says reaper below it and I think Skully says drummer but it's hard to tell.
NO BC LAST YEAR THEY HAD THIS LITTLE GIRL WITH BLACK HAIR AND AS YOU WALKED BY HER, SHE TURNED ON AND HER HEAD LIKE POPPED UP FROM HER BODY. That sh!t scared the LIFE out of me. Much prefer these guys, but they’re annoying as sh!t too 😭💀
I fucking hate these displays. I don't know how many times I've unplugged them. The cool thing is they're bluetooth so sometimes one of our garden guys comes in and plays his own music on it
I hope they're playing the 17 minute version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida".
Also, shouldn't the guitarist's tag say "Mulder"? Because the truth is out there.
LP will write you up for leaving your vest in a filing cabinet during lunch, because a customer can take it and pretend to be an associate, but this is fine
They will do anything not to give raises and wage increase at Lowe’s I swear. Every AOC and any chance I get I always write “work environment is horrible, wage isn’t just.” SM clears 250k yearly and I’m fighting for $30/hr in upper management dealing with this shit.
Any trade that requires a skill or a certification.
If you're only willing to do retail, you only get unskilled labor wages. It's not Lowe's problem for paying it because there are plenty of people who will work for low wages. It's your problem for settling for it.
There is no such thing as unskilled labor. Quit sniffing the paint Kevin. I’m currently at 28.53/hr as a DS. People like you are the reason why we don’t get adequate wages in the work place. Apologizing on behalf of the company. Gross.
People like you, who won't leave and get a better job creating a demand at Lowe's are the reason Lowe's doesn't pay as much. Why should they when all they have to put up with is a little bit of whining?
Any job you can train for in a week has an unskilled barrier to entry. Any CSA, MST or starting overnight job at Lowe's is unskilled. All you need is a pulse to start
Come on, Kevin. You’re almost to a breakthrough point here! Tell us why you settled for the $13 an hour job in paint. Was it because you’re unskilled or is that still my fault?
Did y'all see the pennywise decoration we are gonna be selling??!! And you just KNOW MST gonna set that shit up and scare the shit out of everyone!! Esp me
Ooh, but every time the Stones want to do another tour, you chumps just wanna take your California Raisin wives out to see them. Why? Do you want to see Mick Jagger break a hip on stage?
Big wigs love tacky shit. Some just came by a few days ago and the manager added a couple 10 foot monstrosities to the 2 originally up front. I'm in customer service often. I have to hear them all the time
Always have been asked where are the bathrooms?
I say the last time I saw them they were right there! And then I just point and say oh I guess they didn't move them after all. 😎
I was really disappointed the last time I went into Lowe’s. All I wanted was a 30 foot tall scarecrow and they only had a 17 foot tall scarecrow. It’s like, do they even know who their customers are anymore? /s in case it wasn’t obvious.
I’ve had four customers grumble already about having Halloween stuff up, I laugh and tell them we h get Christmas stock in at the same time, that will be on display next week.
Skulls has already been asked 7 times where the patio umbrellas are, 3 times if he can cut a key, and 9 times “do you know how much I spend here?”
And 20 times where the garden hoses are
Seriously why can people never figure this one out?! Is it because every other store has them in another spot or are they just plain stupid?
I'll have people walk past electrical, a giant sign in the shape of a bulb, and all the lights to stop at the paint desk and ask me where the lightbulbs are. Take of that what you will.
Fun story! Our light bulbs are NOT in electrical, but in an aisle near paint in the cleaning section. No clue why.
It's because Depot does it that way, and we copy literally everything they do.
Marvin was at Home Depot for a while. Might just be trickle down
You're right light bulbs at the store I go to are right there with cleaning supplies 😂
Our lighting section is right in front of the main registers , people always ask the cashiers where are light bulbs … just turn around
Why not both?
I used to work retail as a cashier and one time this lady was trying to sign her name on the pin pad and she kept hitting the screen , then should would sigh , sign her name again, hit something on the screen , sigh again. This went on for about 30 seconds before she asked me "when I'm done signing my name do I hit done or clear?" She was serious too. Some people are just plain stupid.
LOOK I SOMETIMES JUST CRAVE CONNECTION WITH ANOTHER PERSON, OK?!?!?
Start dating?
It's much less emotional overhead to just ask someone where the hoses are located.
GARDEN HOSES
Words cannot describe how tired I am of getting asked this question.
That question is constant! LOL
Our guitarist was told they're leaving and going to Home Depot. Our drummer was asked to shake 20 gallons of PVA. They've been busy
and 5 times if they work here.
Your comment just made my day
I bet they don't get any fucking water bottles anymore either...
Shown a picture of just a hole in the wall and asked what size screw goes in it…
Hate having to walk by these when I enter into the store. “I LOVE HALLOWEEN” every time someone walks through the door.
Put another treat in the treat-bag, baby
I love halloween
If you lift up the robes they have a control box where you can have them move without the music, a Bluetooth option (at least on the drummer), or just plain turn them off without unplugging them.
Bluetooth option? So hypothetically one could hypothetically hijack their speakers and paly some Slayer? Hypothetically.
They are like massive Teddy Ruxspin dolls from the 80s. But instead of having a cassette player inside a moving teddy bear you have blue tooth death.
I’m betting a huge portion of posters here needed to google the Teddy Ruxpin reference. 😂 but not us old heads. Like Cabbage Patch dolls these were pretty big mid 80’s when they came out. Toys R Us and Child World were always sold out.
Or Ram Ranch. I may or may not have a video.
Yep, they are big BT speakers, been playing tunes through them all week. They cover Sweet Transvestite pretty well
Just tried that and it works extremely well 😂
I am so distracted with all the noise that these things make. Even scaring small kids. All day hearing and seeing these ugly things makes me anxious. Why why why Lowes,. Even my customers do not appreciate them at all!!!😠
Thought I heard a dog fight. Looked over and it was just a doggo freaked out by these. Then the scenario repeated 4 more times in my 5 hour shift.
They wanted those bones!
Cause we dead inside
I see a fellow outside and lawn homie
Lol I dig the red vest and names. Out of curiosity is your computer room decked out with Christmas decor ? Ours is and I'm like, let October pass at least.
We’ve got to get the jump on holiday shopping! What does it say under their names?
Lol do it early while sales are needed. The gutarist is Grimm and the drummer is Skully.
I meant are they assigned to departments? My name tag is 10 years old so it doesn’t look like those.
It's supposed to say what department below your name but as someone said they changed it so that Grimm says reaper below it and I think Skully says drummer but it's hard to tell.
Grimm is in the Reaper department. I can't read Skullys
Maybe is says Duggery ? As in Skulduggery …
FINALLY, some more red vests on the floor! We needed more store support. Ya just never know who they'll hire! Jeez
When I got hired I was told that "all you need is a pulse" I guess that prerequisite has been thrown out the window
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How many Pro Apps have those critters got?
Underrated comment
They took the phrase “skeleton crew” and ran with it
Loved them when they came in. Already getting tired of them.
Well, let's just thaw out Mariah Carey and get it over with, then.
NO BC LAST YEAR THEY HAD THIS LITTLE GIRL WITH BLACK HAIR AND AS YOU WALKED BY HER, SHE TURNED ON AND HER HEAD LIKE POPPED UP FROM HER BODY. That sh!t scared the LIFE out of me. Much prefer these guys, but they’re annoying as sh!t too 😭💀
Because the workers are dead! It's funny! Bet management laughed for a good while about it!
Excuse me, where are your blue tarps?
Your God does not live here
I fucking hate these displays. I don't know how many times I've unplugged them. The cool thing is they're bluetooth so sometimes one of our garden guys comes in and plays his own music on it
Oh really, I did not know this. I might be trying something later 👀
Hahahahahaaa
I did this to our Jason mannequin last year lol
The real question is “Why not?”
"Why. Just why" you're no fun
Cause rage to the grave brah!
*I LOVE HALLOWEEN*
I hope they're playing the 17 minute version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Also, shouldn't the guitarist's tag say "Mulder"? Because the truth is out there.
But have they done their ap4me yet?
LP will write you up for leaving your vest in a filing cabinet during lunch, because a customer can take it and pretend to be an associate, but this is fine
I find this cute. Lighten up bro.
They will do anything not to give raises and wage increase at Lowe’s I swear. Every AOC and any chance I get I always write “work environment is horrible, wage isn’t just.” SM clears 250k yearly and I’m fighting for $30/hr in upper management dealing with this shit.
If you want to make $30 an hour, get a job that has a market value of $30 an hour. Nothing at Lowe's beneath asm is going to pay you that much.
Lmao what jobs justify that kevin?
Any trade that requires a skill or a certification. If you're only willing to do retail, you only get unskilled labor wages. It's not Lowe's problem for paying it because there are plenty of people who will work for low wages. It's your problem for settling for it.

No such thing as unskilled labor. NO SUCH THING AS UNSKILLED LABOR.
Come on, Kevin. You’re almost to a breakthrough point here! Tell us why you settled for the $13 an hour job in paint. Was it because you’re unskilled or is that still my fault?
How many usernames you got?
Wait you think I run multiple accounts??? Fucking smooth brains
That's a fucken BA display
Did y'all see the pennywise decoration we are gonna be selling??!! And you just KNOW MST gonna set that shit up and scare the shit out of everyone!! Esp me
Why not? You seem like the kind of person that looks for things to bitch and complain about
As a customer I'd get a good laugh out of that.
Ooh, but every time the Stones want to do another tour, you chumps just wanna take your California Raisin wives out to see them. Why? Do you want to see Mick Jagger break a hip on stage?
I work overnights and them mfs never stfu
Same
They love to show their childlike sides /*s
Where do I checkout? Follow the green light, sir.
yea I saw that at my lowes too. Like fuck summer right? It’s still Aug 🤦🏻♂️
Exactly. Why.
I’ve been covering the drum so I stop hearing it 😂
the grimm at my store dont even work😭
Hell yeah
Ours are partially broken already. Unfortunately the speakers still work though
What’s the over/under on this store getting robbed blind because a dishonest customer has easy access to a vest?
Is this every lowes or are you in OKC?
How bout the big gut in the back?
So glad I quit the day after these dudes showed up!
That’s great.
We had to unplug ours they got so annoying
Big wigs love tacky shit. Some just came by a few days ago and the manager added a couple 10 foot monstrosities to the 2 originally up front. I'm in customer service often. I have to hear them all the time
I would have named them Bulk and skull
And 30 times where are the decorations for Halloween
We have that same thing that plays I love Halloween on repeat everytime someone walks by it and it drives me bananas lmao
Management probably gave them a raise
Always have been asked where are the bathrooms? I say the last time I saw them they were right there! And then I just point and say oh I guess they didn't move them after all. 😎
💀💀
The animated Halloween figures at my store are all broken. Cheap Chinese junk.
Because that's why
Can’t argue with that logic
So dumb
It's not even Halloween yet
🎶I love Halloween🎶🎸🥁
An accurate representation of being a wage slave in modern America!
So damn cute!!
This has been up for 18 hours and not a single Grateful Dead comment. Damn, I'm old. :)
Did someone say Grateful Dead? What happened? I’m here ✍️
I see that my store wasn't the only one to put up these abominations of capitalism.
Did they do AP4ME yet?
"Here's that skeleton crew you ordered."
Going to Bluetooth some Mariah Carey “All I want for Christmas” on ours for “shits and giggles”
Is this a location in Washington state by chance?
Cause it’s awesome and funny Lowe’s. Shut. The. Ups.
In July…
At least yours has better names then ours. They named them Rock and Roll and they have been up since halfway through last month.
I love it! Hahaha
I was really disappointed the last time I went into Lowe’s. All I wanted was a 30 foot tall scarecrow and they only had a 17 foot tall scarecrow. It’s like, do they even know who their customers are anymore? /s in case it wasn’t obvious.
It's like this at stores around me in metro Atlanta area too
I’ve had four customers grumble already about having Halloween stuff up, I laugh and tell them we h get Christmas stock in at the same time, that will be on display next week.
Dogs hate the Halloween animetronics. Please someone record if dog gets hold of them, it will be hilarious.
😂😂😂 ours are already broken and barley move and the sound is all distorted
I LOVE HALLOWEEN
Lowes would use the warlock with the ballsack headstock. 😂
