BLACK FRIDAY, waited in line 1 hour in the cold patiently with another say several hundred more people. The doors opened, and about 50 people NOT patiently waiting their turn, mobbed the front doors ahead of everyone else. Words were exchanged, upset people, pushing, shoving, holloring! Totally unfair !! After that, i waited in line for a check out for another 1hr., to find out that the 10 items i had just bought for gifts couldn't get a gift receipt...All because of CASH SALE..I could have had them ring each item up seperately, and done cash sale with receipt, but otherwise no gift receipts!! unreal...get with the program Menards!

UNETHICAL, GREEDY BEHAVIOR BY MANAGEMENT TEAM! Menards can be a good company to work for, good pay, fair benefits, but they also still offer a year end bonus. Stores get a bonus based on the sales for that store. This bonus is divided between the employees based on ranking (manager, assistant, team member) and length of time employeed. They need to still be employeed by December 15. If anyone is qualified for that bonus and leaves or is let go prior to that date, the store gets the same bonus amount, but it's distributed to the empolyees still there. Some managers will find any reason they can to let someone go right before this time so the "bonus pot" will be larger for their own benefit. Basically they just cheat some poor employee out of something they worked all year to receive. Someone I know (I will remain nameless) put in their two weeks notice because they were moving away to go to school. They were let go only a few days before the "Bonus Deadline". The initial reason was because they were 2 minutes late for work that day, they called in and explained they were running late because of the weather and it was approved. Then they changed the reason and said it was because of availability when they had the same availabilty approved for several months and it was never an issue... (nor were they even asked if they could put in more hours). This manager knew the employee was moving away to continue their education and was let go right before the bonus cut off time. What does this say to young people, starting out into the working world. How cruel is it to cheat soomeone out of a bonus, someone that is going away to school, on their own. Did this manager ever go to college? Forget what it's like to be in college, working, paying for their own rent, utilities just living pay check to pay check. That measly $500 bonues distributed amongst several employees is nothing compared to how far it would go for someone going out on their own for the first time.

I purchase a snow blower from Menard's last evening. I spent $1, 005.42 fo0r the Brute 13.5 X 29 electric start. I even paid $ 39.95 for delivery of the terrible product and the delivery guy actually didn't even know how to get it out of the truck, my brother and I had to unload it.

I pulled up to my garage, put gas in it and tried to start the snow blower, it would not start. We tried it three times to no evail. We checked the oil, spark plug and all connections and this snow blower just would not turn over and it was approximately 15 minutews old. (Brand New)

I called Menard's in Oakdale, Minnesota I spoke to some one that stated he was the Manager, I explained the situation with the product I just purchased and explained to him, I need someone to come back to my home and pick this product up, I will not pay over $1000 for a proiduct that dopesn't work!! The *** so-called manager asked me, did you make sure to put fuel in the snow blower? I said, of course I did because I would be willing to bet it would not start with out it. Again, the *** manager then stated this, we'll seeing you put fuel in the product we can not take it back becasue it's now used.. I said, that's incorrect because this item will not start, I've had it (15) minutes and I would also bet your delivery drive has not even returned back to your storer yet from his trip to my home 10 miles away? The manager said, you're correct, . he's not back yet buyt seeing you have put fuel in the snow blower to start it for the first time, regardless of the fact it will not start, it's yours and we will not take it back. The store manager then hung up on me!!

Nice service from a retail store thast steals over $1000 from customers, refuses to try and make some sort of an accomidation to the customer and then hangs up the telephone because he's both to ignorant and unqualified to answer simple questions.

I will NEVER buy as much as a cotter pin from Menard's ever in my life, what a joke of a retailer.

Menards will price match any discount from Lowes and Home Depot except 10% military discount. They claim they will match the discount when it is advertised, but since their competitors offer it year round, they don't advertise it. Especially in a time of war it is nice to see that Menards does not support the troops and their families that sacrifice to protect our freedom, don't shop there.

Menards is not handicapped accessible, I told the cashier that and he said" you could have someone push your shopping cart" Now how is that handicapped accessible if the disabled person needs to walk with the person that is pushing the cart. I will no longer shop at Menards but will go to Lowes where they have amigos/motorized carts for customers to use.
