I worked for Lowe's for three years while in college. Most employees would rather you not ask for help, if I had to guess. That said, unless you're a plumber, as employees we avoided the plumbing department at all costs.
Still - Lowe's > Home Depot
Still - Lowe's > Home Depot
I hadn't really before this one just opened. It serves a great need for Owensboro, since we aren't getting a Whole Foods, Fresh Market, or Trader Joes type grocery store. It's infinity times better than the Walmart and Kroger here. You can get all the normal **** those places offer, plus some much more diverse options that you couldn't previously get anywhere in Owensboro. Plus the fresh seafood and meat sections are great.
If you're used to having the "better" grocery stores around you, it wouldn't seem like a big deal at all. But when you don't have access to that stuff, it's pretty great.
Also, f*ck Walmart.
Seems like Home Depot has a more "big project" feel to it. Like, you go to Lowe's to get a gallon of paint, or a new light fixture. You go to home depot when you're finishing a basement.
This is evidenced by the number of laborers hanging out in front of the respective stores.
Also, Lowe's has a much higher percentage of white hens clucking around looking for items needed for their latest pintrest project

Appreciate the kind words, guys. In addition to writing, think I'm gonna start recording a podcast with ShitBag as my co-host, mostly for fun. Gonna kind of model it after Pardon My Take but focus mainly on UK sports, obviously. Already have Derek Willis' girlfriend, Keely, lined up to be our first guest on the show. Should be a wild time.
Lowes is to Target as Home Depot is to Wal Mart as Menards is to Meijer(s).
Hot take: if I were a UK basketball player I wouldn't want my girlfriend making the rounds on UK fan run internet news outlets

-Lowes all/air
-Dropped an entire bottle of scotch in the liquor store on Sunday. Quiet embarrassing. Making matters worse I dropped it under my son's stroller. In a liquor store. On a Sunday. I did walk there so I felt a little redeemed. Also, they refused to let me pay for it. Still, when you say that out loud it sounds pretty rough.
-Trailer Park Boys started pretty slow but then got hilarious. Imagine that's a comedy that BBdk would dig. Just power through the beginning.
-Heat wave is on folks. Leggo.

-Anth much prefers Lowe's over Home Depot.
-I hate Meijer. I used to shop at the one in Hamburg when I lived out that way and they always, without fail, didn't have something I needed on every single trip. And this was before my organic revolution. I still haven't been in Lucky's. Maybe I will go there for lunch today. I don't have much use for Trader Joe's. The produce sucks and everything else is packaged/processed.
-Congrats shitbag. Didn't Coolcat write for KSR back in teh day as well? We even had a GYERO or Wodie Crew website at some point because I have a now defunct email address from it.
-One of the hens is wandering around each cubicle all in a tizzy asking if they cleaning crew got our trash taken out last night because OMG!!! they didn't get hers and she had a SALAD in there. She is appalled.

What exactly does Anth do at Lowes?
Thanks! That means a lot!*
*Now, I seriously can't tell whether or not I'm being trolled.
You two are the same person in my head. Kinda like Max and UCL, except I actually know Max and UCL apart.
Nothing brings out the cackling hens like a fire alarm.
Holy ****. They are giggling, standing around each other's desk's and gossiping like we don't have a shitload of work to do.
Yes, the alarm is louder than it used to be. Yes, we all saw the fire trucks. Yes, we all walked the steps back up to our office.
STFU. Damn.

Wodie Sloot's hen on hen hate is my hatboggin.
Meijer is convenient for me. I have tried to get them to order goetta, they seem to have no idea what that is. I do like the seafood and meat department. It would be nice if they'd move the toothpaste and other toiletries back by the grocery, instead of across the damn store.
Lowe's is closer to me, so I guess I'm team Lowe's.

B.Slicer, you're gonna do fine kid. Be natural, don't try too hard and for God's sake, keep ShitBag in his place.
Shitslice, if you ever need to interview Potsie Mitchell, "he's" available.
I can't imagine that would work at a national retail store.
Dr. Boatenkugel: "Hey, Stock Boy! Yeah, you! How many times am I going to have to ask you guys to order goetta!?! Jesus Christ, I can't believe it's taking you all so long!"
Stock Boy:
The Lowes closest to me ONLY uses the U-Scan aisle. It's completely absurd. What works amazingly well for small products at the grocery store is a complete clusterfunk at a home renovation big box.
There's always 3-4 people standing around wondering how in tf to ring up a washing machine, an extension ladder, and a pallet of quickcrete. Meanwhile, the angry ninja female overseeing the operation is half gazing at the herd in disgust, and half trying to feign surprise that the line of customers can't figure out this ridiculous process.
F that place. Hard.

Well Captain chin fuzz,
The Kroger (a national chain) down on Richmond rd carries it. So why can't they?
Better question, why don't you just go to the store where you know they have it?
Ichiro is only 40 hits away from 3000. Considering that he spent a good chunk of his career in Japan, that's pretty damn amazing.
How did you phrase it to Bob yesterday?
"That's rich coming from you."
I've seen the result of PTI(pti)'s home projects so I can only imagine the hackjob **** you do. Some people choose to hire professionals and some people NEED to hire professionals.
I use Chevy Chase hardware on occasion. The old dudes in there are great.
Having a freezing cold Ale 8 vending machine in our office has really not been good for me. So tempting.
I believe he's also less than 15 career hits away from Pete Rose. Ichiro is the best player in the last 20 years that no one ever talks about. 7x all-star, 7x gold glove winner, 3x silver slugger winner. Dude was phenomenal but his last game won't have a fraction of the fanfare someone like Derek Jeter's did. Sad, really.
For the record, ACE was, is, and always will be the place with the helpful hardware MAN. Not FOLKS. MAN. Freaking PC ********.
