It's just hardware retail in general. I still roll my eyes, years later, when I think about the idiotic morning meetings we just had to have at lowe's. It was always the same: store manager desperately telling us in a faux cheery voice to push for 'people to get the credit card!' I worked in the outside garden area, and was amazed that they made the concession of giving us cold water... after an employee collapsed during the summer.
