I worked at Lowe's for over a year. Went through their asst. store manager program. We would laugh at people who shopped at Menards. We would constantly get people in the store who needed to fix something and when asked where they purchased the item, 99% of the time it was from Menards - they were like the white trash family on the Home Improvement block.

We didn't hate them, just pitied them. Home Depot did, too. Funny thing though, we were mostly competetive between other local Lowe's store. Another thing was that our store had no problem hiring people who were previously employed by HD or Menards, but it was common knowledge that the other two wouldn't hire former Lowe's employees. CONSPIRACY!
