At my local grocery store, the brand of whiskey I like to pick up was put with a lot of the other liquor in a locked case, with a sign that said to ask an associate for assistance.

Annoying, but some kind of anti-theft measure, whatever.

The problem was, it’s a big grocery store, and there was no way to signal to someone that you actually needed them.

You just had to kind of…hang out.

Until they finally installed a button.

Though after watching this video from TikTok user @itsminimade, I’m not convinced the button does anything either.

“Me knowing darn well the inside garden associate went home 30 minutes ago…” reads the caption on the screen as a Lowe’s employee picks up an intercom phone.

“Can I have an associate to Inside Garden for grills? Can I have an associate to Inside Garden for grills? Thank you.”

Then she just hangs it up as though something has been accomplished.

Sometimes you just gotta tell the customers you’ll call them someone over knowing no one is coming 🤷‍♀️😂 #lowes #loweshomeimprovement #goviral #asmrvideo #fulfilment #customerservice #phone #overheadpage #lowesclearance #goviral #blowthisup #blowthisupforme #college

Now, I know what you’re thinking, but…

They’re just lying to us, fam.

Like it or not.

Rizz be upon you.

I feel like this definitely isn’t gonna help brick and mortar retail stand up to online services.

What a mess.

Now that you’ve read that story, check out this one about a delivery driver who took a $400 grocery order back because she wasn’t given a tip.
