I dont know what the deal is but I find the people at Lowes to be more helpful.

A lot more helpful.

I called a floor manager aside at Home Depot and schooled her on leadership skills.
She was talking to one of the employees a young girl like a dog in front of me a customer, it didn't even have anything to do with me.
Then I told another manager there to stop looking at one of his new hires butt.
I watched this middle aged letch follow her around for some time and all he did was leer.

I cant stand the place.

They had a sign in front only 78% approval rating for custom orders. i ask the manager about this number. He said only custom oreders from call's, but they wanted to be the best company now? I said you all the biggest, he told me if people tell him about great workers, maybe you, or write positive approval's on there website about this great store. He then said maybe i can get a job for 40hrs. Down here, the Home Depot stores and really dirtier, and he told me only $8.25 a hr. I said how so only $8, he said i was working outside only. I left and went to the Drug& Alcohol collection site gave them ?. But tomorrow i am going to Lowes $10.25 a hr for 40 hrs a week, much better store and people and $. Around Boston the Home Depot stores are the same as here, Nasty .

Yup, They're 50% off in the Milwaukee area today. I just bought 13 packs of Ferry~Morse seeds for just over $9.00.

Same in the store I went into. And as I was walking into the gardening department I asked a store person which seeds were on sale and was told, "None that I Know of". What a store!

Ten bucks says their Personnel Policies require any employee to work a minimum of 30 hours before they qualify for benefits.

Hoping everything works out for you at Lowes!

I just checked online, and the seeds are half price, but it says nothing about being half off sale price even though they are. I checked Charlotte, NC(60 miles from me) store too online, and they were the same half price. Maybe it's a regional sale since it's about time to start seeds and plant the cold weather stuff.

Anyway, good prices if it's an item that you local feed or hardware store don't carry. I always buy Wyatt Quarles from my local feed store because they are a lot cheaper, but depend on the big box stores for the other seeds.

About forgot. My local HD carries the Burpee bean booster, and it's 2.49 a pack regular price. Since it's on the same rack right beside of the bean seeds, I think a person could get it for half off too.
