"Patriot Lighting" 🤡

Yeah I know. I avoid any product or brands with Patriot, Freedom or similar words in the title

If you can, I'd avoid Menards entirely. Owner is kind of a scumbag.

Oh shit, sounds like the polar opposite of Costco.

Menard has a pronounced hostility towards organized labor. He imposed an absolute ban on hiring anyone who had ever belonged to a union. Managers at Menards are subject to 60% pay cuts if their store becomes unionized. Managers also have to agree to pay fines of $100 per minute for infractions such as opening late and to submit any disputes to arbitration rather than legal courts

Menard when he can't fill manager positions (probably): nO onE wANtS To wORk AnYMorE!

Edit: I don't even think Quark would be that draconian except for that brief meltdown when he was trying to go all Alpha Ferengi

Any manager when nobody applies to job openings looking for highly experienced highly qualified positions with shit benefits and hours that pay less than $10/hr

Just imagine a toddler talking: they throw out whatever they think will work - the sad part is that somehow it manages to actually do so, see e.g. the last election:-(.

If I were in Picard’s place I’d be upset too. They misspelled his actor’s last name in the product description. 🤦‍♂️
