Dumb lowes questions...
So far I have only had one say something about my choice - it was painting tape and she asked if I was working on a project. The day I bought packing tape I thought to myself what could they possibly ask me about this or compliment me on regarding this purchase.

I did one yesterday and that question was there. I find it a bit odd. That bolt remark is very funny you know, hahahaha... 
I laughed when I saw that question on the report. I bought a soda. What was she supposed to say? "That's a great choice. You're really going to like that drink."
I did the BBQ grill scenario today. The employee is asking me what I use the side burner for... I said "Ummm, beans?" He said "How about soup?" Then he continued to tell me to chop up a bunch of fish and put it in a pot on the side burner. I finally said to him "That would be called chum." A very strange interaction. The bolt remark is very funny!
Oh yes, you know they wanted to tell me how much I would enjoy that over priced water. 
I had one positive comment out of 12 shops so far, re. the packet of seeds I purchased.
The cashier said they would look beautiful.
I wonder if that's what the farmer across the street is going to think when he sees stray yellow orbs rising up between the first and second rows of soy at the corner of his field by the stop sign at the end of our road?
I can't wait.

Love the sarcasm on clerk asking about bolts. If I were working there, I would say, "Nice bolt. Wanna screw?" No, not really.. just couldn't resist that dumb joke...sorry!
I had one tell me the detergent I was buying smelled good. Then we realized there was a hole in the bag.
I'm still trying to figure out what goes in the last narrative box. Every section has its own narrative so I just recap what I've already said.

I always go over the word limit for the sales scenario, so I simply conclude it in that last box. Works every time.
I rarely go over the word limit for anything. For the last narrative my brief comments are about the cleanliness of the store, how well it was stocked and if there was an adequate number of employees visible.

I put the "out of stock" scenario info in that last box...that's what I was told to do. worked so far. The other day I actually had a salesperson tell me that she'd appreciate it if I went to lowes.com and put in if I felt she did a good job helping me. She made sure I had her name....have never had that happen before.
Who told you write up the out of stock there? I noticed somewhere in the instructions they actually emphasized only one question on the report related to that scenario. The type of comments I include have been the same for about five years, lol!

Lol techman!! I have thought that too! Since I only buy gift cards, what can they possibly say about a $5 giftcard? "What an exciting amount you have purchased!"
A $5 gift card is brilliant!
Less brilliant...
Do you want me to put that soda on your MyLowes card?
Yes, please. I can never remember which beverage I prefer.

Don't feel bad, Jonk...I think we are all in the same boat. Copy/paste from above narratives has worked for me so far.

The MyLowe's card is a silly thing, imho.... It doesn't give you points. You can't put anything "on" it... All it does - if they bother to ask - is keeping track of your purchases so it can be "helpful" for your projects...
I actually get comments about my purchases, though. Lately, I've bought the samples of paint for $2.98 or $2.68. I make miniatures, and you can never have too much paint. The cashiers usually comment on the colors and want to know what I do with that
But in regards to elcarev68's comment... at KMart, the question is if they asked you to put the $1 item on the Sears card. That always cracks me up

Every card that tracks purchases is used for marketing. I gotta admit to liking the MyLowe's and will probably sign up. There are a variety of things I buy there and would love to have a record of it to refer back to at a later date.

I just hope the cashiers are not getting into any kind of trouble for not offering to put a soda, candy bar, or even a cheap air freshener on the card. It just seems beyond silly for a chashier to offer to track someone's purchase for many of the inconsequential things that we buy.
You have to wonder if they might start putting purchase requirements on the shop for that very reason.

why not give rewards using the card. Would be easy to do
and the cost is negligible

I don't have a Mylowe's card and won't. Don't you even wonder what happen's to that information? With the way the government has been acting, I'm sure they could track each and every item you purchase and, know where you are at any given hour.
Since my activities are far from nefarious, I don't care who knows what I buy there. The exception would be those under a dollar items when there is nothing else I need.

If you don't want to be tracked, stop using electronics including your cell phone. Close all accounts, whether checking, saving, investment, loan, credit cards, mortgage, any kind of stock or bond, Roth, etc. Arrange your work so you don't get or give W2s and 1099s. Don't use any public utility system, such as water, fuel, or electrical. Be born at home without the attendance of a physician and be sure your children are born at home without a physician. Do not have a home address. Never go to school and keep your kids out of school. Never register a vehicle, boat, or trailer. Don't buy insurance. Don't see a doctor or go to a hospital. When you die, don't let anyone register your death. Don't have a headstone and don't be buried in a cemetery. Don't leave a will. Good luck with the program.

I don't care about loyalty cards meaning I don't care if they know what I buy but if I had a MyLowe's card and someone looked up my history it would read very strange (as in why doesn't that lady just run in a different store for these piddly purchases). I usually get the smallest bird food squares or Scotch packing tape (that seriously can be found everywhere).
As for asking for the card at Lowe's or Kmart I think a good cashier would do it at the beginning of each transaction before she even necessarily notices what you are buying...just an automatic, "do you have a .... card?"
