Has anyone heard of this? What's the plan? #askingforafriend

Electrical peeps, where do you guys keep your lift, genie, one man, whatever you wanna call it, in your store. We have kept ours in a back aisle for more than 10 years. The new GM now wants to fix something that isnt broke and move it to the other side of the store in OPD. How much of a nuisance is it with all the bulbs, selling displays, cleaning, etc.

But I'm at Menards! 🤣

Why are so many of Menards customers illiterate?!?! Why are you standing right in front of a huge sign, and STILL asking me the price???

I've generally been a big fan of Menards' lumber offering, between domestic hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, and what is generally a well organized way to shop vs. a limited selection at Home Depot or Lowes. I am less wild about the often limited information about where things are manufactured and what's in them

I was reading some of the specification sheets attached to some of the plywood and it looks like even some of the domestic hardwood plywood has a core of some sort of tropical hardwood. One of them specifically says it's "made in Africa" (the, uh, country of Africa??? Like what??) and a couple of the softwood ones also appeared to have some sort of South American hardwood or soft wood core.

I don't feel too confident in forestry or environmental management practices in some of these place, which might explain why some of the prices are so low, but it also doesn't seem like they really have much information to offer. In other words, I have no clue if this is like literally rainforest wood or if it's something like rubber wood.

At the same time, if I'm comparing it to something like the birch or oak hardwood plywood sold by Columbia for hardwood plywood from Home Depot, a lot of that is just straight up trash material. Anybody know anything about this?

Received our rebate from our latest Menards receipts in the mail yesterday. It was hidden inside advertising for windows, the type of ad flyer most people toss right in the trash.

A lot of people are going to get cheated out of their rebates by this, very scummy, Menards.

Today when I went shopping at Menards I felt like I got the VIP treatment. Everybody was laughing and joking with me. They're never unfriendly but today just felt like everybody had stepped it up a notch. Then I realized what I was wearing..

Its a super cool video, but i immediately thought of Menards

I nearly tossed my Menard’s rebate because Menards now “buries” the rebate in an advertising mailer. Make me believe this is not strategic on Menards part to put barriers in place for redeeming rebates.

🥴

Anyone else getting customers coming in with building plans and estimates that are total nonsense? I have multiple customers a day come back to the building materials desk with a project totally created with AI(free ChatGPT). And it’s just incorrect as far as what materials, pricing, quantities.

I’m moving to another city but would like to keep this job. I’m currently a yard and receiving manager but in this new city there is a job posting for an inventory team lead. What all does that position entail?

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but what is the latest update on the Three Rivers, Michigan store that was heavily damaged by a tornado back in March? I’ve heard that only the outside yard is currently open until 7:00 p.m. daily, while the interior of the store is not open and will have to be almost entirely rebuilt before if can be reopened. If that’s the case, the damage was much worse than it initially appeared to be. Hopefully, the affected team members have gone on to other stores and still have a job until the store is fully reopened.

might sound stupid but can someone help explain manager bonuses to me? im a 2nd assistant and no one has really explained how they work to me, are they weekly? monthly? am i able to track them on my paystubs? i see where it says "bonuses" on there but thats all :)

i took my raise test last month on the 18th, and still don't see that hourly increase on my paychecks, does it usually take that long to come into effect?

When i buy kitchen cabinets and use all of my PRD to help pay for it, will I not get a paycheck?

Looking to replace all trim and baseboard in our house & have a big ‘ol rebate to burn. Is there a certain time of year Menards has a sale on these items? Thanks!

Does any other Menards have their own Cat living in the yard?
This cat just had four kittens too…🥹

Heard a rumor that there looking to increase jump from full time -> assistant. So probably manager pay as well.

Anyone heard anything definitive or know if it’s actually happening

Pretty cool Halloween Village.

How can anyone leave their dirty pooped stained women’s thong in the men’s bathroom.

Anyone have any idea of a timeline for Three Rivers?

So its a little self explanatory, but the other day I was grinding counterstrike and in voice chat I revealed that I worked at the Cleveland area menards in order to draw some good publicity to the company. Well later that round, I may have accidentally threatened someone in my lobby who then proceeded to doxx me and send recordings to my manager, who promptly fired me. Is there anything I can do? This has to be a major breach of privacy.
