Home Construction & Remodeling
Agreed. The Lowe's on Rainier Ave. S. is quite possible the worst retail store in the United States. I'm an avid handyman so I spend a lot of time in stores like these, unfortunately this Lowe's is pretty close to my house and I hate traffic so I often subject myself to this store. I probably lose 2-3 IQ points every time I have to interact with the employees so I avoid that if I can. This is not a joke, the store really is that bad.
Loews has a selection to rival Home Depot and may be closer for city dwellers. It doesn't have quite the aggressive friendliness of HD, but if you just need to get your supplies and go, this is a good place.

CONS: Staff unwilling to help, uninformed, poor delivery service, inefficient...
