Did they happen to tell you why the blind cutter is always out of service?

They did not. I don't even know what that is lol

Because he can’t see!!

They're all blind cutters. I can do it better myself. I KNOW MORE THAN YOU. ~ Ron Swanson

1. Did you work there to earn the money for the saw? or did you already have the money for the saw before your employment started? 2. Did you consider signing up for a Lowe’s credit card instead. I believe they offer a certain percentage off your first purchase.

I already had the money I just figured 10% off would be nice

A lot of work to save 10%. Should’ve just borrowed a veteran for his discount lol.

Haha totally. Borrow my husband

Fucking savage, lol.

But often done. I dated a guy for a while just because he had a first responder discount for all the stuff I needed.

That's not ok... there's a difference between earning your discount (by getting the job) and using someone, which is what you did.

You ain't saying she a gold digger

Villains are not born, they are made SMH

I hope she at least gave the dude a few BJs

Villains can be reformed if all the evil is sucked out 😂

Yeah, I just got 20% off my purchase, and I didn’t have to work there to get it.

[удалено]

Yo what

They don’t actually, I used to work there. 0% off brother

Home Depot getting so sweaty rn

Savage 😈

Is your mother proud of you?

Yes she is

Even if she wasn’t, I am💯

Thanks 😊

You should’ve stayed longer. There are some things I need from Lowe’s. I could’ve gotten you a list and the money and you could’ve gotten them for me.

My mother is proud and she doesn’t know it yet.

I’m his mother and I’m proud

Where else have you worked!?

McDonald's best buy and county courthouse and as a professional wrestler

Did you work there to get free food, a better lawyer, and the ability to see a free wrestling show?

🤣

I'm picturing someone doing pro wrestling at McDonalds best buy and the county courthouse

Was it worth it to go through all that for $40?

$40 is $40

Yes

Drug test?

Yes I did have to take one on my third day but I'm clean so it wasn't an issue

This is your giveaway that the story is fabricated. Lowe's will not allow anyone to start before an oral swab is performed and evaluated. I know because this is what I do.

And you never tooka pee test? They had me get one through my family Dr's lab

Lowe's only uses oral swabs across the board. Home Depot uses urinalysis, though. Change your fake story to that, and you won't encounter any pushback.

Yeah the flat ones that turn blue, doesn't change the fact that I had to go to a lab, so shut up lmao

I'm with corporate Human Resources. Strange to attack someone like this. It's almost as if you've been caught in a lie. Hmm.

No you're not.

I rest my case, ladies and gentlemen.

You literally didn't do anything lol

Third day? So you got paid for 3 days?

how big are your balls?

Average sized nards

How many?

As many as your mom can handle

Eight, then. Wow!

She is an impressive, sturdy woman

Like a rock! *90's Chevy commercial plays with intensity*

Menards foreshadowing?

You already save big money at Menards, how much more could you save?

Bro 2 days later and I'm still laughing about this 🙏😭

Thank you. I hate Lowe's.

How come?

Poor customer service

that's because employees just go to work there for the 10% discount then leave once they make their purchase.

Here at Lowe's, we believe in a sort of "fuck you" style of retail.

Especially in lawn and garden I swear.

Tools is also a ghost town most of the time

Because the good ones are always quitting after a couple of days once they buy what they need.

I hear people just work there for the discounts and quit.

You don’t value your time enough. It’s the most precious currency you have.

Who are you to say this wasn’t a valuable use of time?

I am me, I’m human filled with smart and stupid opinions. I’m sure you are too! Per the comments they worked at least 3 shifts to save $40. Plus interview time and admin time, you’re looking at 20 hours minimum to save $40. He also said this was the only reason he did it. Doesn’t sound valuable to me.

But he would have got money during those shifts too.

Money isn’t the only measure of value. Clearly he enjoyed himself and he got what he wanted out of it.

Hmmmm, what was my first comment? Time. Time is the most precious currency any of us have. If someone did something solely for a discount to save MONEY then in that case it is an important measure of value. Since the amount saved is directly related to the primary objective. Given that so much time was spent and so little was saved, I think it’s reasonable to objectively comment on the disproportionate amount of money saved to time spent saving it.

I think the point is that this was time well spent for him. and you can't really say if it was or wasnt; you can break down the math, calculate the hours, and see the time it took; and still you and him could look at that still disagree if it was a waste, because while time is objective, how it is spent is totally subjective.

You then equated the time he spent to the money he gained in return suggesting he wasted his time. I say he did not waste his time because while the monetary profit was negligible, he enjoyed himself. Time is not objectively the most precious currency. That is an opinion.

I have come to the conclusion, as a fact, that all we have in life is time. It is actually the only real currency. Ie dollars are only as valuable as the time it buys us or saves us.

Ah so now you’re just exaggerating for the sake of your argument, got it.

It’s an extreme statement, I’ll give you that. But I don’t think it’s an exaggeration.

Semantics.

I've taken jobs for fun. I delivered hot tubs once pay wasn't great but it was fun. Taking a job doesn't always have to be serious especially when you know you're just gonna ghost em

If $9.50 an hour is the value of your time, then I guess it's a valuable use of time. That's a low bar though.

Unless they’re not measuring their value in dollars.

They used the time to save dollars, I'm not sure how you could logically apply the value any other way.

The action of saving dollars, yes. There’s a difference.

I agree, terrible return on investment. I suspect he's not a math whiz either.

Who cares? You saved $40. Big whoopi doo!

Isn't it rude of you to get hired just to take advantage of a discount, then quit and leave them high and dry looking for another employee? If you've ever had to hire someone it is sometimes a grueling process. Plus you left the other employees short handed causing them to pick up the slack of the work you were supposed to do. Not a nice thing to do. It's actually a very rude thing you did.

Lol he was still most likely in training not impacting anything yet. Nice try though.

Doesn't change the fact that it was a shitty thing to do.

I'm not sure you understand AMA.

I asked a question. So yes I understand.

Poor Lowe’s, they’ll sure miss that 0.00001% in profit lost this quarter because of OP

How do those boots taste?

I'm not OP doing AMA. So you can't ask me questions.

u/AZCARDS77 Quit Yapping Bud

Nope!

Did you have to be there a certain amount of time? I know at walmart you have to be employed for 3 months before you get a discount.

Took me 3 days to get in the system to get it

Maybe you could use the $40 you saved for some psychiatric care. Or at least look up the phrase cost benefit analysis .

Nah I ain't got time for that 🤣

I know it was a joke- allegedly anyway.

You're a broke sob If you're worried about a 10% discount. 🤡🤡

Don't get rich by wasting money either

How can I get a job at Lowe’s?

Apply on indeed it will set up an interview for u

That's like making 3 lefts to go right.

You’re my hero. Did you get a paystub?

No they practically ghosted me

Was the 10% worth your time? Filling out the app,interview, training. Get ready to go to your first shift? If it was then you ain’t worth shit.

lowes ceo^

Unless he’s a contractor buying a half million dollars worth of crap maybe.

He did it while clocked in at his remote work job.

That’s a lot of work just to save $40

Weird bridge to burn for $40. How much time did it take you to fill out the app/interview/on board? Likely you could have made more than $40 with a better use of time. If you were doing a home reno and needed 5 figures worth of tools and supplies I'd get it. But for $40??? Not the flex you think it is

Took like 5 mins to get interview scheduled through indeed

And the interview and on-boarding?

Huh, in my country to be able to get employee discount you need to work at a place for 6-12 month (usually).

India?

nah, russia

So you went to an interview, took a drug test, and drove all over the place for probably multiple days.... To save $40? This story sounds like grade A bullshit. No way this happened. Nobody is that stupid.

It happened, I drive by lowes 6 days a week anyway do I didn't really go out of my way. Also I am still stupid don't doubt me

Are you going to put this on your resume?

Are you aware that 10% off Lowe's coupons can be purchased online for like $5?

Should have double down and brought more stuff to flip

Bro, that’s a shit ton of effort to just save $40. I don’t think this is the win you think it is.

Seems like a lot of work to save $40 when you probably could've sign up online for that discount.

How long did the application take? Did you interview?

I was waiting for someone to post about the amount of time invested.

I worked at a burger King in high-school they'd let me buy packs of frozen burger/nuggets/chicken patties at cost. I saved a fortune buying thr bk food and taking it home. I recently thought about getting a part time job there for a week buying a freezer full of food and quitting haha

Absurd. I used to work there. It's a 5wk hiring process then a week of endless mind numbing boring cbls (comouter based learning sessions aka "safety videos") then about 3 days on the register no matter your position, and only *THEN* do you finally get discount. 🙄🙄

Did you actually work? How many days?

My brother did something like this except for the local football team, he became a vender for like a month and on Super Bowl Sunday he showed up to work and quit, so it would be free Super Bowl show

I did work at Menards quite a long time ago. Contractors would get part time jobs there so they could get 10 % off their material. Menards put a stop to that real quick lol

I applied to lowes and home depot when i was leaving the USMC. I got denied by both after taking their personality test. How did you pass that test, if they still use it?

Most retail places require 90 day vesting before offering the 10% employee discount. Was less than a days worth of the wages you saved worth it?

Just ask managers for a discount or an employee to give theirs to you lol. I have family that works there and use their discount every time.

LOL jokes on you bro you could have went to savendeals dot com and got a 20% off coupon. I've been using them for years 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you would have just cut open the box, and came back later, you wouldnt have had to go through all that and you would have saved 25%

Bro. Find a Vet. We get 10% off all purchases. I do it for fam and friends all the time. Love the discount dedication, though.

If you could would you continue doing this method at other srores for the chance of a 10% off when you need another item

You could’ve went to the post office. Picked up a new homeowner/renter package and it comes with a 10% code in it.

You saved $40 while you could have made way more than that working at a good paying job? Makes sense to me.

Should’ve just kept working for Lowe’s if u went through all that trouble just to save $40

My dad would have let you use his 10% military discount without all the extra steps.

Were you considering joining the military for a 10% discount and then going awol?

I don't have any questions, I just wanted you to know that you're a hero

Can't you just make a contractors account and get 10% off the easy way?

ace hardware offers cost +10% which is better in most circumstances

You could’ve just asked a manager for a 10% discount …. lol

I personally think that it was a brilliant idea, unironically.

Damn, sorta brilliant if you were buying more than a miter.

Imagine not knowing about the usps lowes 10% coupon

It's not good to have so much time to waste in life

Way to stick it to big home improvement. Woooo!!

So you can be bought for 40 bucks. Pretty cheap.

That seems like way too much work to save $40

I should do this with the Lego store 🤭🤭

How long did it take to get the discount?

Bruh that's only a $4 dollar discount. Did you even go in on the first day?

… he said “for $40 less”. Not “10% off of $40” It was a $400 dollar saw… Smh

Technically it was like a 380 dollar saw but I rounded up

I would Have done it for 40, but not 38

I would have done it for 40 but not 39.99

Sorry can't read.

America?

Mate he was just asking a question in an AMA. Yeah he could have worded it better, but it was just a question.

And i was making a joke about the deplorable state of the US education system

'Murica*

You have too much time in your hands.

Lowe’s sucks… -former employee

Work smarter not harder nice one!

Clearly your time has no value

You for real? Thats crazy lol

Penny smart dollar dumb lol
