Yesterday's Lowes experience

[DukeConnor]

I went to Lowes yesterday to get a EGOchainsaw. I found what I wanted and put it in the cart. Apparently they have a motion sensor attached to the box. It started squealing the moment I moved the box.

I wasn't done shopping so I just pushed the cart through the store with this thing screaming. I came across a couple employees and asked is there any way to shut it off. I was informed they would do it at checkout.

I proceeded to push this squealing thing around the store through various departments while I finished shopping.

I got quite a few looks. A couple of people were laughing and experienced the same thing.

Went to the checkout and had 3 seperate people try to shut it off while the line backed up.

Finally a old timer from the lumber department walked past. Pulled out a razor knife and cut the banding off. Put the beeper in his pocket and walked away. He looked over his shoulder and gave me a wink.

I checked out and left.

The world has gone insane.

I took the blame Democrats remark to be aimed at creating policies that benefit criminals and take away the fear of serious consequences for stealing.

white trash republicans dont do a flash mob where 1000 people destroy a Walmart Ulta, or a CVS while stealing the black hair care and extension products.
If you find a video of a bunch of trailer park boys who dont have a full set of teef amongst them, stealing big screen TVs and oral health care products, by all means feel free to share with the class.

STOP RESISTING!!!!

Never

I've wondered why such stores don't have better loss prevention measures.Home Cheapo has security guards stationed at the front entrances for thirty bucks an hour instead of patrolling the floor.
