Sutherlands Lumber company

The Store in Sierra Vista has big management problems and it trickles down to powerless employees who need a job. The store manager is not a person who should have any authority over anyone as he is a control freak beyond what a manager should be. Over the past 7 years I only go into the store on weekends when the manager is not there. When I have went in during the week Joe (Manager) has been in the back room of the store(By Lumber) very loudly yelling and humiliating helpless employees. This is emotional abuse. How is an employee suppose to work to their best abilities going to a job like that. It was embarrassing just being in earshot. He ranted on like a spoiled child that didn't get his way. I go there for convenience only at this point and go to Lowes during the week. I have a small remodeling company and do not want to put my employees in a bad spot when they need something. I feel bad for the employees. In this town Joe has a reputation for belittling employees.

I am a local flooring contractor and had to obtain a lot of laminate flooring material. I had been shopping around and had or thought I had found the low price. I found a similar (match) to the product I had found elsewhere. The one Sutherlands had in stock was more pleasing to the eye . I explained my delima to Kevin (Sutherlands Sales Rep). He gladly said '" I will not only match their price I will beat it ". I was very happy about this and recommend all home improvement needs to be bought from them. Thanks to Sutherlands and high five to Kevin too...

@ jose a. - This particular store is one of the best around. Sutherlands does not set the 'policy' for returns on Debit or Credit card purchases. The government does. The burden is on YOU to know something about dogs and collars.
The only question is how come you didn't have your Debit card, and do you have any identification? You cannot blame the store for your inability to produce proper I.D. That IS why we have I.D. theft, idiot.

I went into Sutherlands at 7909 Camp bowie west in fort worth texas 76116 this morning to return a dog collar which I purchased on 6/5/20010 with my debit card. when I returned it today 6/13/2010 They insisted it had to be put back on my card When I told Jana Smith (office mgr)I did not have the card and It could not go on that card she told me she could do nothing so I asked for another manager when she came back with Kevin Vest ( commercial sales ) who had access to my entire credit card number and just put it on a card WITHOUT my authorization or signature. With idenity theft on such a incline why do they have access to my account number so easy that a commercial sales employee hasaccess to my personal information? Protect your self and shop else where. I did not even have to show an ID. Anyone with a reciept can access youre accout from this store.
