On 8/21/2026 I purchased a 2" sewer check valve for $27 + tax with my 11% rebate coupon and the…read moreremaining $5 in cash, , When I tried to return it on 8/22/2026 because I mistakenly needed the 1-1/2". I could not find the receipt as it was the only item on the very small piece of paper that I most certainly would have never needed as 2" is what I absolutely thought I needed to do the job. The customer service associate asked for my driver's license and I handed it to him and then he proceeded to type out a in-store coupon I would be using for the smaller one I needed. As he handed it to me he stated "Twenty Dollars and some cents", I said what? It cost me almost Twenty-Nine dollars. He said that's all I get without a receipt. I then went to the little machines they have to print a receipt and the associate would not even tell me how to turn it on, no kidding, then and only then did I show dissatisfaction as I said What a Dick! Wow. I'm so mad at myself to let people like this get to me. Anyway I left with the original 2" check valve because I refused to sell it back to them nearly $10 less for a unused item purchased the day before. Therefore also being seventy (70) years young, these people at Menard's are the absolute bottom at customer service help and store policies. What a shame down the drain.

I've been going to The Flower Box pretty regularly now. I mean, not like every week or anything--I…read moredon't want you thinking I'm some kind of flower expert. But enough that the staff probably recognizes me when I walk in. Which is nice, I guess. Or maybe they're just really good at pretending. Look, sometimes when I go in there, things aren't perfect. Like, maybe they don't have the exact flower I was picturing in my head. I'll be honest, half the time I don't even know the names of the flowers I'm asking for. I'll say something like, "You got those red ones? The ones that look nice?" And they'll nod like they know exactly what I mean. But if they're out, they'll swap in something similar. Same color, same... vibe, I guess. And I've never brought home a bouquet where the flowers were already dying. That's a win in my book. Flowers dying quick would be bad. You'd feel like you wasted money, and then you'd have to explain to your wife why the surprise didn't last longer than a day. The staff there, though--they're always super nice. Like, unbelievably helpful. They'll ask what the occasion is, and then we end up talking for a bit. "Anniversary?" Yeah. "How long you been married?" Oh, you know, long enough. And they'll throw in suggestions, make it look better than whatever I was imagining. I appreciate that. Because if it was up to me, it'd probably just be a bunch of flowers tied together with whatever string I found in the garage. Now, if they don't have something, they might grab it from another shop around town and mark it up a little. And that's fine. That's business. They're the ones driving around, picking the good ones, making sure it all looks right. I'm not gonna complain about that. I'd probably pick the wrong ones anyway. Or forget to water them on the way home. I've lived in this area for about 20 years now. And for a big chunk of that, The Flower Box has been my go-to for surprising my wife. Just showing up with flowers out of nowhere. She smiles every time. Brings a little love into the house. And that's really all I'm trying to do. I'm not great at the big romantic stuff--fancy dinners, trips, all that. But flowers? I can handle flowers. As long as they've got people there who know what they're doing. Sometimes I'll call ahead if I know I want something specific. Because if you just walk in last minute and expect miracles, well... things might be lacking. That's on me, though. Prior notice is key. Like with anything in life. You can't just show up to a restaurant on Valentine's Day without a reservation and act shocked when it's full. Same deal here. Anyway, if you're looking for a place that's reliable, nice people, and flowers that actually last long enough to make somebody happy--The Flower Box is solid. They've been keeping me out of trouble for two decades. Can't ask for much more than that.
