Went to Home depot, to get a kilz paint on sale at 75% off, yes from $18.99 per gallon down to $4.49 per gallon. Home depot had over 60 gallons in stock". I purchased all at that price and went to Menards to take advantage of their price match guantee/. They had the same paint in stock at $19?.99, so much for being the lowest!, they told me that they did, do I showed them the reciept from Home Depot on the paint and asked them if they carried it, they said yes, I asked if they matched price they said yes, so I said that I wanted to buy it all,. I had the recipt at $4/.49 per gallon from lowe's , it shocked the manager that he called Home depot and it was verified, it took him 40 minutes to return from the office, he then stated that he would only limit me to 20 gallons, I asked him why and he said it was posted, well I replied please show me this'. Well we went to the front of the store and he couldn't find the posting, then i yelled at him for not knowing store policy, then he said that he wanted more proof, I again asked him to clearly state why he wanted more proof, he called home depot and the store manger verified the sale and it was chain wide with no limits on the amounts you purchased, he said he wanted to see the flyer, I angerly went to the vechile and pulled out the ad, and showed it to him, well i asked if that was enough proof, he replied yes, then I demand that he get one of those lazy young kids standing around to load up all the instock paint and have it ready at the cashier and to call the other menards in town to give them a heads up that I was coming, so I didn't have to argue with the store manager for over an hour,. well it took about 20 minutes more and they finally got it done.. I got 69 gallons of paint at $4.49. Whew after 1 hour and 45 minutes i Got the price match I was offered in there radio and paper ads. But what a fight, well it gets better, the other store manager stated in his phone conversation with me ,that he would only sell me 20 gallons but at half off, that was his interpertation of the ad, I asked him if had called Home depot, He replied he didn't have to, and that he didn't even had to sell to me.Thank goodness for Home depot and lowes for quality merchandise.
Has anyone else have problems like this, please email me the phone number for menards HQ so I can talk to the owner himself.

Written by complete tour of store on May 7, 2012 from ft. wayne, indiana, US my dad (who is a dialysis patient) and I asked a Menard's employee where the dry wall mud would be, he said over by the building matertials and pointed to the north wall of the store. -we didn't find it, next asked a check out girl where would we find dry wall mud, over by the paint, opposite end of the store. asked the paint guy, where do we find dry all mud...points to the very corner of the store on the north wall. GEEEZ DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHERE YOUR CRAP IS AT OR WHAT? |
| 2. Written by kis myas on April 22, 2012 from ann arbor, michigan, US Actually I met the owner John Menard once and thought he was a pompous rude egotistical ***. He also has a couple of sons, one is a race car driver - nice guy, the other works for daddy and is the same of not worse than the old man. Menards is cheap (as in quality), cheap (as in the way they do business), and I avoid them all together. |

5. Written by just wondering on February 3, 2012 from minneapolis, minnesota, US if you need that much paint it is most likely commercial, so why not get a tax# and buy wholesale. or are you just turning three years old. Great-now I have to say sorry to all three year year olds |

| 7. Written by John on September 25, 2011 from st. paul, minnesota, US You're F***ing retarded dude. It's bad enough to work at menards, trust me I use to, and I had to deal with Douche Bags like you. Your just a cheap pile of S**t that will yell at someone when things don't go your way. Im glad they gave you a hard time you cheap F**K! |
| 8. Written by JD on September 3, 2011 from minneapolis, minnesota, US Menards has the worst customer service of any other store. They can't compete with any of the other stores. Laziest people working there. So sad. I would rather pay more to get the right product and the people who like to help their customers. Even Fleet Farm is better than Menards. |
| 9. Written by Bry on August 6, 2011 from hudson, wisconsin, US Kind of funny Menards hasn't carried kilz since 2002 and there is a sign at the front entrance stating menards policy that they reserve the right to limit amounts check your facts buddy |
| 10. Written by Menards-Rep on July 24, 2011 from louisville, kentucky, US First, Menards Price match is only for identical products. Same make, model, everything. Second, it does not qualify for competitors "sale" items. It must be a retail price. Third, not only does Menards match the price, it is beaten by 11%. HOWEVER, the guest must have proof of the price. Menards does not have to go out of their way for you to be a cheap ***. Menards-Rep out! |
