We love Lowes and to compare it to Home Depot is ridiculous. Home Depot is a good store if you know their stock and can find what you want amongst the miles of sloppy shelves and sometimes crazy crowded aisles. Lowes is clean, neat and well stocked. We go to the Buckland store and they have a greeter, which I don't really care about one way or the other, but its a positive (unless you need a help in an aisle and then it seems like wasted personnel). When you pass an employee, they're all about the big greeting and asking, can I help you with anything? did you find what you want? how are you today?
Like all other warehouse stores, sometimes there are not enough staff on the floor and the doors dept is crazy that way, at times you have to wait a half hour to get someone to help you - not because they're lazy but because they're always busy. They need more help in some of the depts.
We bought a storm door to install ourselves. It turned out to be a bit of a junky door (granted it didn't cost much) but the installation of it was difficult because the instructions were not at all helpful. So we returned it. No questions asked.
Bottomline, we really like Lowes. They're our "go to" store.
ADVICE: Do your homework. There are good people working there but not all of them are experts. YOu need to know a little. So don't go there expecting to be educated. You may be lucky that day, but you may not be. You may get someone who knows less than you do. So like I said, go there with some knowledge of what you're buying. And today, with online reviews and research, it's really not that difficult to know a little.
