Employees are way overworked and way under paid. I lasted a year and a half as a night cashier in Walmart a few years back. If it wasn't for enjoying the customers so much, I would've jumped ship much, much sooner.

I went there a few years back and complained because I could not get a Christmas gift card that didn't say Feliz Navidad. I'm not Hispanic, nor was this particular Lowe's in a Hispanic neighborhood and yet EVERYTHING was in Spanish and English. I'm Lithuanian and I felt that if they were going to be so partial to only one ethnicity, why not Lithuanians?? It was so ridiculous and said so. I think they pointed me to the exit on that particular visit. .-= Lin´s last blog ..<a href="http://duckandwheelwithstring.blogspot.com/2009/11/im-never-wordless-wednesday.html" rel="nofollow">I'm-Never-Wordless Wednesday</a> =-.
