I WAS SHOPPING IN THE GARDEN CTR. TONITE WHEN AN EMPLOYEE THERE CLOSED THE GATE AT 8!05 AND TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO CHECKOUT INSIDE THE STORE I ASKED HIM WHAT TIME THEY CLOSE[KNOWING IT WAS 9!00] AND HE RESPONDED BY SAYING" I GUESS WHENEVER WE GET READY TO" I WAS APPAULED THAT HE SAID THAT . OBVIOUSLY LOWES IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT M AKING A SALE DURING THESE TOUGH ECONMIC TOMES I HAD NOT FINISHED MY SHOPPING UNTIL HIS REPLY. IWAS FINISHED THEN AND FOR GOOD. I ONLY LIVE APP. 7 MILES FROM THE STORE BUT YOU CAN BET IN THE FUTURE I WILL GO TO HOME DEPOT WHICH IS APP. 25 MILES AWAY. THATS ONE GOOD THING ABOUT BEING A CUSTOMER YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE!
