I worked for Lowes back in 1999. I had been out of work for over a year, doing odd jobs to get by. Home remodeling, but that is another story.
They offered me a bit over $7 an hour to work in their plumbing department. It was hard to make ends meet even then on less than $14,000 a year. A month later I told them I needed more money. They told me I was at 'top pay' for that job then. So I looked for another job.
A couple months later, I found a job at $12 per hour and gave my notice. They begged me to stay, said 'money is no problem.'
The hours suck. I was expected to close the store one night at 9 p.m. and open the next morning at 6:00 when the truck arrived. the manager would hang a sign on the timeclock "nobody goes home until all the stock is put up." (More on this in a minute.)
If I did have a Sunday off, they would call a store meeting and I had to be there for that anyway. So it is lttle wonder that you can never find anybody there that knows about the store and the store is understaffed.
One night about 9 p.m. while we were rolling the lawnmowers back inside, one of the employees started across the parking lot toward his truck. The assistant manager asked him "where he was going, we aren't done yet."
His reply was "That's my truck out there. I'm going out there to my truck. I'm getting into my truck. And I'm going home. I've been here since 6:00 this morning." And he proceded to do just that. I never saw him again and I couldn't much blame him.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
