Is anyone else’s store in region 18 as unsafe as mine? We currently have so much freight that it’s making the store a death trap. The stores top stock is literally stuffed with product that can’t go on the shelves. A lot of it doesn’t have a selling location anywhere in the store either.
Now I’m usually a critic of the over night stocking crew but honestly, much of this is corporate Lowes fault. There’s simply nowhere to put this stuff and senior management insists that it get off the floor. They’re just top stocking as much as possible and a lot of the time it’s way too much or it’s stacked way too high.
But what are they legitimately supposed to do? We get trucks almost daily that are over flowing with more and more product. We haven’t had space for any of it for weeks. So they simply stack it higher and cram as much onto the shelves as possible. It’s become crazy. I mention it daily but I hate doing it because it’s obvious that there’s no other place to go with it.
I hold corporate Lowes responsible for this. They are overwhelming the stores and the associates are desperate to cope. But it’s only a matter of time before there’s a bad accident because of this. Lowes needs to stop this insanity immediately. They’re pushing their luck and someone is going to get hurt or ki---d. Fair warning.
