I like the Wildwood (466a) Lowe's.

Spot-on with your comments about Ace being much more helpful. But, for irrigation parts/supplies, I have found Central Pro/Site One to be the place to go. Pricing there is better, and their people are 2nd to none when it comes to irrigation system knowledge. They're located at SR-44 & Thomas Ave in Leesgurg.

I went there once for a hacksaw and they didn't have one. Go figure.

Amazon is the big reason you don't see a lot of cashiers working at the Lowes. Amazon is taking away some of their customers.

Hold your breath HOME DEPOT will come to the rescue.

The place is a mess with inventory and equipment in the isles etc.

I used to shop Lowes Lady Lake, Never a clerk to help a lot of out of stock popular items , Home Depot is my go to place now , clerks every where , fast check out always get everything I needed, Ace is also my store.

I like Lowe’s and Ace Hardware but many times Lowe’s doesn’t have what I need, especially if it’s a seasonal item, therefore I go to Amazon.

Shopping is mostly going the way of on line shopping. Soon there won’t be many stores around. As it is, you can get more of a variety of colors and styles of things on line and not carried in the store. The stores are becoming more of a sample viewing of things

Shop Lowes quite often and never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for check out (if I don't use self check-out). Most workers are very friendly and helpful. Find most things that I am looking for. Also agree with one poster that ACE has those hard to find parts that are used in TV homes.

They can’t get people to work.

Use the Lowe’s online ordering for repeat items like fertilizer, light bulbs, filters, lawn bags, etc. they will bring the order out and load it in your car.

My husband went to the Lowe's on 466A the other day to get a bunch of stuff and there were no cashier checkouts open. He had to stand in line at the self-checkouts. When he got there to scan his stuff, there wasn't tags on some of it so he scanned what he could and then called for the checkout person who handed him a book and told him to look through it, pick out what he was buying and scan the code into the register. He was livid by then, told her "I don't work here. YOU do!!" He handed the book back, told her to void out everything he'd scanned and pushed his cart down to the garden center where he checked out with the one cashier that was out there! It's ridiculous!! Self-checkouts are NOT faster when this kind of thing happens and when someone has a full cart to scan. In this day and age when everyone is in a hurry and has no patience for long lines and this kind of thing, this just isn't going to work!!

And have you notice who works there?
It's all older talented knowledgeable gentleman/ladies, (probably from the villages) that know how to treat people right and knows what a 50 hour work week is like.
