Went in to use a Lowe's 10% coupon to purchase a hose hideaway & ceiling fan. Was told that I wasn't allowed to use the coupon on sale items when I had previously used it on items on sale before have the receipt to prove it. The manager Gus was rude and accused me of arguing when I was trying to have a discussion and find out when and why the policy changed and why consumers aren't notified. He was in my face and rude and completely inappropriate. I left without a purchase nor will I ever be returning. Have never had any customer service issues at Lowes and maybe I should have just used it at Lowes instead of trying to use it at Menards and give them some business. I'll be sure to be giving my business elsewhere especially considering Menards prices and customer service are so poor and completely mismanaged. I told the manager I understood policies changes, but wanted to know where I can find out the policy and he said we don't have to post every single policy we have. I said as a consumer how are we supposed to know the policy if it's not stated somewhere where we can read and have full disclosure.

I was first told my the the cashier, Pam that they supported the 10% discount, but when I showed my military Identifcation on August 10, 2010, at the store located at 21630 South Cicero Ave. in Matteson, Illinois 60443 she had to confirm it with the store manager and he came over said they only give the discount on certain holidays. This all happen at 2:46 pm. I guess I will be shopping at Home Depot and Lowes they sale the same items as Menards but they support our Military and give the discount and all of their staff has been informed of the discount.

my husband and I went in for a return. The product was a drill and was purchased out of state.. We are in sub-contract work and travel...our employee paid cash for items and receipt was destroyed in flooding we had. We had 3 total. 1 in hand 2 in a work truck on its way back from Pittsburgh. We brought the 1 drill in and explained about the receipts. We asked if this was their product as we are not 100% sure it was this store. they researched and told us it was. We said great! we will bring the other 2 in next week when our truck arrives in ohio. We then bring in the 2 drills and the General Manager accused us of theft. outwardly and openly. Then he further stated we could have dressed up for the occasion and then proceeded to inform us he does not trust anyone who walks in the door.. and that he is the big Company of Menards standing behind him.. and then proceeded to ask me who I have standing behind me... He kept our equiptment and refused to give them back. I explained that I felt uncomfortable leaving the drills there.I stated it felt like if he asked me to leave a child there I should just trust him. he then said that he hopes my children are worth more than 200.00 dollars. he still has our equiptment. I called the regional or the operations manager and he told me he would get to the bottom of things. I had to call him back as he forwarded the problem to someone else without keeping us posted. this new person is calling all retail stores to see who carries the product and we still cannot retrieve are items...The manager also explained to us that we will not get our items back and I quote "because I said you cant have them"

My father has been a Customer of this store since they open. But I personally don't like it because theirs always representatives who are chitchatting as if there on break and or don't know what your talking about and don't help you. But anyway. My father had gone to purchase a 36" door and since they had no more my dad asked the price for the display since it was a little damage. Well the guy checked in the computer and gave him a price, he was even suppose to give him a discount of $10. Well when he got home we saw the recite that he was charged the suppose discount!
So he went back once again to see what happened. Wasting gas on a fault on there side he has a V8 truck. Well the so called Manager was accusing him of stealing the dam door! Totally insane!!! One he would have never gone back to the store for them $10 discount he was suppose to be given. Com on! Second they called that one guy the rep and he stated once again that the computer gave him that price..But the Manager keep saying that the price was only for the frame ($189) the door was extra. But that was not on his fault it was on the computer, the rep and or the cashier. But that one rep said it was for the whole thing!
Well they made him leave his Driver License at the store and go get the door to return it! They treated him like a thief. For a dumb door.
Well he had to come back get help to load once again and go back to the store. But this time my husband went and we were the once who called the police. It is totally ridiculous that there is not one Customer Service number to the main Branch, or to reach there district manager. They would not give you there full names or any info. If they have nothing to hide why not?!!!
We are totally upset and will NOT shop at Menard's and will let all my friends and family know so they shop else were.Rather go to Lowes with so far better quality and customer service!
So people be Ware of this Store!

Employees in the store never have time for the customer. When you have a question or need help finding something the staff at Menards seem to have vanished. Where do they go? What is the point in giving these people jobs if they are never around? If you are lucky enough to get the attention of someone to find a product, my experience repeatedly has been a finger point along with "its down the aisle". Don't tell me, SHOW ME. If I wanted to search aimlessly until I stumble across the item of interest I would not be talking to you! Now, if you step into a Home Depot, this never happens. Menard's needs to make some policy changes but I will never know if they do. I won't ever go back. Too much of a pain in the but when all I want to do is get in and get out.
