Menards

Seriously, who doesn’t like to save big money??? I do and I often feel that I am doing just that when I shop Menards.
Okay, hearing the jingle over the PA system 18 times in a half hour shopping trip is kind of annoying, but I have gotten to the point where I just sing along (and sometimes beatbox badly.)
The customer service here is pretty super. I think either the employees are contractually obligated to say «Hello» to any customer within a 15 foot radius or people just really want to be my friend, because I seem to get a smile and «how-​de-​do» every few minutes. This is extremely helpful on the odd occassion when I can’t find an item. The only time I was at a loss to find an item, or an employee to help, I went to the service desk and they not only told me EXACTLY where the item would be, but also checked the inventory level on the computer to ensure that it was in stock. BTW: I got the last one! I win!!!
Love all of the rebates offered throughout the year and the 2% rebate on all purchases with the store card at the end of the year. The location is awesome with returns. The store even has a computer where you can look up your purchases and print out a receipt for returns. Yippee! You don’t have to be stuck keeping crap you don’t want just because a receipt is lost!
Yes, I am a dorky homeowner who enjoys a trip to the Menards on a Saturday or Sunday. Quite a day. I feel like Frank the Tank before he takes that first beer bong…
