I put Lowes on my store of last resort months ago due the forced self checkout. Lowes store is very close to me but I will go to Ace or the Depot first. Yesterday I had an emergency as the landscape guy broke my water line. Went to Ace but they did not have the PVC fitting I needed, so due to the emergency nature of the problem I went to Lowes. At Lowes I went to the PVC area only to find it fence off. No one was working in the area so I went around th barrier and picked my fitting. As I was walking to checkout an employee chastised by for going aro7nd the barrier. I asked why was the aisle blocked off when no one was working the area. No answer. Got to the kiosk and entered my phone number as I am retired military and previously register with Lowes. My my name pops up and the attendant wants to see my ID. I show her my military ID, not good enough wants to see my drivers license, show her my license, not good enough she wants me to take it out of my wallet so she can see the back. Mint you I am buying a 3 dollar fitting. This is a prime example of Lowes not being customer freindly.
