This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Recently at the Local Lowes I was looking For a piece of wire. After standing at the gigantic spool pressing the customer assistence button for about 15 minutes I took out a pocketknife and cut the desired amount myself. Seeing as there was no price tag on the wire, and figuring that if the employees couldn't be bothered to come assst me, I saw no harm in simply attempting to walk out the door with the length. It was there that I was stopped and asked never to return (however I was allowed to keep the wire I helped myself to) my advice? Stay away from this store.

Oh, excuse me you "holy man"!" I guess just because I decided to stir the pot a little in order to get some attention (at a store put there to serve CUSTOMERS!) that makes me a "[censored] theif"? Do you really think i'm the kind of MAN that goes around stealing things willy nilly? NOOO! So until you walk a mile in my shoes how about you SHUT THE F#(@* UP?!?!?!?!? (sorry for the exciting langauge, nothing personal)

also, don't tell ME about the merits of birth control! Where the hell do you get off, [censored]bag? You think I don't know how to walk around and find an employee? Thiss store is ###, and I don't think you defending individuals that don't do there job is going to make any impact on the indivuduals I wrote this review for. I was simply voicing a complaint; do you really have to attack me for it?

I don't understand, do you really find it SO important to defend individuals in a store you have never been to? For god's sakes I simply had a bad experience and chose to write about it, so why would you choose to get all up my A$$ about it? Obviousily the people that designed the Lowes in Hammonton were well aware that certian sections of the store REQUIRE customer assistance, and install "call for help" buttons at said locations. For you to defend individuals too uncaring to respond to such calls (and don't tell me that ALL Lowes employees aren't qualified enough to snip wire) is both ignorant and unwarranted. Just to let you know "helpNu", I'll be filing a separate complaint very soon about your corporation worshipping nature. Unless you apologise that is.

I personally think it is unfair that these individuals make a point of purusing this site in order to talk down to the complaints they feel are unwarrented. How dare they continually post comments that belittle and discredit individuals that are simply writing in order to voice thier opinions? Nothing on this site is set in stone, and in fact I would be willing to bet money that 99% percent of the customers utilizing the services us so-called ###S are complaining about will EVER see the complaints voiced on complaintsboard.com. Therefore, why do you and people like you feel the need to go out of you way and insult us? It makes little difference as to whether the things we post are "legitimate" in the technical sense, it matters only that we feel the way we do. Unless you are operating under the assumption that all consumers are sheep, and need to be spoon fed which complaints are "legitimate" vs. the complaints you KINGSOFMUTHA###INCOMPLAINTSBOARD think are legitimate, i sincerely suggest you BUTT OUT. You think you're so smart, don't you?

IS IT NOT MADE CLEAR IN MY POST THAT I AM NOT CONDONING SHOPLIFTING?!?!?! I SIMPLY SAID THAT AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD I CHOSE TO TAKE MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS (AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES THAT MIGHT BEFALL ME) AND DECIDED TO WALK OUT WITH THE WIRE! I AM NOT SAYING THAT I DID THIS OUT OF IGNORANCE, BUT RATHER THAT I WAS DOING THIS IN A FORM OF PROTEST! IF LOWES EMPLOYEES CANT BE BOTHERED TO HELP PERFORM THE SERVICES THEY OFFER, THEN I CAN EASILY TAKE MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. (and before you go off about how they had every right to prosecute me, use reason. Do you really think the workers lodged in such a low level of a corporation are going to quabble with me over $5.00 worth of wire? Techincally it would be within thier right, but human nature indicates that many would rather not "rock the boat" [my reasoning at the time].)

I AM DONE TALKING TO YOU! By the way, thanks Jerseyguy46, for being the only person on this G-D site that is capable of communicating in a civil fashion. It's nice to see I'm the not the only one on this site that isn't an elitist, big-shot wannabe that takes potshots at the people brave enough to voice thier opinions.

What are you gonna do StealthPilot, report a thirty year old misdemeanor that you read about on an internet message board? What if I told you that me and Jerseyguy46 were the same person, and that story isn't even true? ###.

So, do you speak aloud in letter form as well? What kind of lame homebody devises his very own "gimmick" to deface a little-seen website with? Why not spend this time doing something worthwhile, like writing letters to the members of government you appear to hate so much? I'm simply defending myself, what's your excuse?

If I outlast you here, then at least it might create a scenario in the future where you think twice before slandering a "###" you know nothing about. That is what I have to gain, and what alot of everyday Joes have to gain from reading the arguement we are having presently. By the way, who is the "you" you are referring to?

i work for lowes and think they are a joke...they have us running around the store like ants looking for people to help...and as doing so the people get ask 10 or 12 times in less then a hour and they get annoyed with us but who can blame them...Do you want to be asked if you need help more then ten times when you are shopping...Their policy is a joke and make people feel really uncomfortable...I know i wouldn't go to that store if i didn't have to and if i did i would try to run in and out with out being seen...

Well...I work for Lowes in the Electrical Dept. now I must say you taking matters in your own hands...15 mins, nah, I really don't believe that one, the call buttons once pressed keeps on going off every 30 second till it "max" out at 2 mins and 30 sec., after the 2nd or third "customer service is needed in wire cutting" a page would have been " code 5 wire cutting" and then you would have gotten some one there within 1 or 2 mins tops...as per you stealing, well, your on tape thats all i can say,
please nesxt time if you need assistance and dont want to wait go to nearest dept and ask for help or even go to the service desk or find the person walking the asles in the blue vest !

Holy cow, dude! Calm down! I see you yelling at everyone in the comments. This is how they see it: You were lazy and couldn't find someone to help you. You cut the wire. You stole the wire. You got in trouble.
End of story. You stole. So, don't be getting mad at the everyday man/woman for telling you that you are a thief! You said it was a protest? More like laziness and wrong! Just take a few more steps to find someone. DUH! You don't just take what you want.
Also, you're telling us that $5.00 worth of wire was worth all of this crap?!?! I think not!

Like myself, my mother had standards. This included, but was not limited to, frowning upon thievery. Slinging schoolyard insults at me does not distract from nor change the fact you are a thief, and most importantly, a ###. Next time you feel the need to shoplift, make sure it's a bottle of drano. If you can chug it within an hour, you will win a prize!

Admitting you are a ### is a good first step on the road to realizing you should eradicate yourself. Whereas you may try and relate to the "everyday Joe", the everyday Joe is not a ###. You are. If you think you will outlast me, it will be the latest accolade in your long and illustrious history of being incorrect. (By the way, argument does not have an additional e in it.)

I've never claimed to own a mansion. You seem to be awfully obsessed with homosexuality. As a psychiatrist, I would encourage you to just be open and honest about your sexual preferences. It is healthy to be honest in every regard. Whereas I am not a homosexual, I have friends and colleagues that are. They think you are a ### too. Here's another idea that might help you out. Start your car in your garage, close the garage door, roll down the window, take a nap. Again, we can discuss any bitter feelings in the morning. Give it a shot, sport. Don't be indignant because you didn't make anything out of your life. Ending it might be the most profound accomplishment you ever reach.

Sincerely,

The hopes and desires of greater New Jersey, and more importantly, everywhere else.

Dear ###,

I don't hate government. I hate ###s. Pay attention to the language that we've all agreed upon. I understand that you are upset that you are unable to refute the points that I have made. Why defend yourself? There's nothing to defend. You are a criminal. You are a dirty thief. Chugging the drano can only stop your downhill slide from ###ed into braindead.

Wow, looks like we struck a nerve over there in the Garden State! Listen, I understand that you are frustrated being a complete ###. You should go chug a bottle of Drano and sleep on it. If you still feel bitter in the morning, we can talk it over. It appears you have conceded to my argument and have resorted to insults. Which, by the way, only provide further entertainment for me. I would wager that my "slum" costs more per month than the net worth of your complete list of assets. Try again, you're still losing :)

Dear ###,

You are obviously disingenuous, have identity issues, steal things, and have no sense of decorum. If you seriously registered a different account to actually "find someone" to agree with your warped sense of reality, then you are, in fact, a ### as I had originally stated. If you are lying about Jerseryguy46 being the same person, you are still a liar and thief. Either way, you have made yourself in a giant [censored]. Dishonesty must be one of your favorite themes as you professed to the world that you were, and I quote, "I AM DONE TALKING TO YOU!". Look who is still trolling about. Fitting then, that you would bring another ###, President Obama into the conversation. As Stealth Pilot pointed out earlier, crooks always band together. I'll leave you with a bit of wisdom that you will probably be unable to comprehend. "It is a beggar's pride that he is not a thief." -- Japanese proverb.

Rationality.

It's hilarious you would use "G-D site" and "communicating in a civil fashion". You have been upgraded to senior ###. Congratulations on your promotion. Am I not simply expressing my opinion as well? I am not being elitist or a "big shot" which I believe is the technical term for what you intended to express. I am clearly pointing out where you are wrong. This is not a complex situation.

Dear ###,

You are absolutely a thief. If you aren't intelligent enough to find someone to help, then hopefully you are dumb enough to get yourself accidentally killed and rid the world of your incompetence. Thank goodness Lowe's doesn't have any of those motorized carts to help people with a legitimate disability, because you would scarf one up due to the fact you're too damn lazy to walk. By the way, until you can use proper grammar with a reasonable margin of error, stop trying to argue a point. It just ends up making you look even dumber with misspelled words and horrendous phrasing. You sir, are the pinnacle of why birth control should be made more readily available to teenagers. Perhaps we could have prevented this whole situation from ever occuring with just a little bit of foresight.

Sincerely,

Anyone who has ever worked in customer service

P.S. Use the wire that you STOLE from the store and hang yourself at your earliest convenience. You are a filthy thief.
