Irrelevant factors such as location/distance aside, do you guys and gals (and nonbinaries
) have a preference to which store you use?
For years I had been using Home Depot exclusively, for no real reason. One day, I stepped into Lowe's and discovered that it was just as good and the parking lot was a bit easier to navigate in and out of. They're both within 2 minutes of each other so distance doesn't have anything to do with it.
Since then I've found myself going to Lowe's, mostly. I even ended up getting one of their credit cards. 5% every purchase and additional 5% on certain sales. I've been impressed with Lowe's customer service repeatedly, and I just feel the store has a cleaner atmosphere. I haven't had any bad experiences at the Home Depot but I feel I've had more "good" ones at Lowe's.
Since starting a new job there is a Home Depot on the direct route back home, I plan on going there after work today as a matter of fact (most of my trips are planned around distance/convenience/laziness).
It got me thinking, is there really a difference to either store that anybody has noticed? What's everybody else's preference?
