For as long as I can remember, even prior to moving to the central coast, Lowe's has been my go to…read morehome store, usually having items I need for a home project. Recently, I've had a few above average experiences, where store employees have help load my truck with pavers and concrete border, which was great customer service, but it's the exception. Wandering aisles looking for help can get frustrating, needing help in plumbing and ending up in electrical because there is no one around has caused me to leave the store more than once. Rarely will I visit Lowe's without knowing what I need and where it is, the mobile app has come in handy. Again, that's a lack of customer service, if I have to turn to my app for help. Returns have been very easy, which is nice, using my Lowe's Reward, especially if I no longer have the receipt. Self checkout is hit and miss, if there is an item that doesn't have a SKU and they need to look it up. Even if I present them with a picture of the item and stock number, they still feel the need to look it up. Policy? Maybe but my time is valuable. Overall, if you don't need sale help, the big box store is average. Go in knowing what you need and it's a good experience. Don't go in expecting knowledgable, readily available sales associates.

Eventually after browsing, we made it back to the rocksalt area... And we were met by Chris a manager who said that the salt is on back order, but will be here Friday. Throughout the entire conversation, he was happy, and composed, and extremely helpful. We asked him a question about the rocking chair that we passed and he said it might be on sale. If they don't have that one left in stock, we can actually take that one off the floor. He offered that because we asked for that one, so I didn't have to put it together! He understood why we wanted the assembled one. He ran back to the back room and checked, and the one on the floor was the only one left so we would get it for a discount he said. He checked and then said...said we are going to give you $50 off! We didn't even ask that yet! This made our day as did the thorough explanation about the rock salt being not being available but explaining about shipping rotation that will be happening in the future to avoid depletion of their stock. Next thing Dave walks out to our car and helped us get the chair into the car. " A hatchback". His help is greatly appreciated and again we did not ask for help they just volunteered. The chair is home and happy in its new front lawn location! A great deal and great customer service today! These two gentlemen employees made our day! THANK YOU

Prices are always reasonable. My husband stopped in right after we closed on our house to have some wood cut (or similar), and the employee- the gentleman with the truly majestic handlebar mustache- remembered what tools we did or didn't have at home the next time that he stopped by. Where else do you have that kind of personalized service? This morning, with big leaking going on in our garage at home, I raced over pre-8 AM soaked, with my hair somehow still on fire, and in urgent need of tarps to cover our belongings and try to get things secured. Hewitt's already had their doors unlocked/open, despite it technically being before their store opened, and their staff was super friendly and helpful immediately. They got me checked out and on the road before they were even technically open. Having made two emergency Hewitt's trips this week alone, very appreciative for their selection, value, and high quality service.
