Just remembered the one time we did shop for carpet at lowes.
Gave them drawing of rooms to be carpeted with dimensions.
They decided that the carpet had to be lain in one direction and needed to be say 10 yards more than the drawing indicated. Sorry cannot remember the word that should be used.
So they wanted to sell us say 40 yards when I figured 30 would do.
Than they tell me I must purchase 40 yards of padding. When I asked why I would need that much when I just needed to cover the floor he said that was their policy.
Told the sales rep that goes against my policy of not being ripped off and said good bye. Apparently most people would agree to it and not raise a stink when 10 yards of carpeting would be tossed or go back onto the truck.
