I am an HD investor and yes they have knowledgeable help, less than in the past IMO. And self checkout, uggh
Menard's actually pays quite well too and has profit sharing.
Lowe's blows and I WILL NEVER shop there again. I wanted an exterior door installed that I would purchase from them $200 +/- door. They charged me a $30 fee for a guy to come measure to make sure it will work. This guy says the height isn't the required 81.5" and we will need a custom door for $850! I come home and measure, the rough opening is more than sufficient for the door. Spoke to everyone up to the store manager, sorry we stand behind our contractors! Non refundable measuring fee and we think our guy is right. Now, had I known nothing about doors I would have paid an extra 650 and then the guy would have had to fur down to make my undersized door fit!
I bought the door, my carpenter nephew installed it for $125. Horrible experience with Lowe's.
You should read the Ken Langone book about HD founding. Good read
