    Hi, I never comment but I work at Lowe's and just like Home Depot they are actually supposed to charge you for the cuts. All depends who helps you they may be nice & not charge you. Just didn't want you to think you had a bad experience & be put off. He was actually doing what he was supposed to do probably because he was new & just wanted to follow the rules ❤

    • @DIYDalia
      @DIYDalia  2 роки тому +23

      Heya Shayla! Thanks for sharing that and you're totally right - I've actually seen the sign saying they charge above 2 cuts.. sometimes it's hard on UA-cam because I don't convey a story properly or the way I would in person 🥺. I think what really bothered me was the way the guy spoke to me (he seemed annoyed to be helping me) and it just happened to be that the words he was saying was that he would charge me. Hope that makes sense! I didn't want to elaborate too much on the specific story but just wanted to highlight that sometimes a bad in person experience can have lasting impact 😞

Maybe I missed something you may have said. Idk. Chin up tho. Just be grateful for your blessings. Gratitude goes a long way. You have great talent to do what you do.
