On November 7th, 2023 in the evening, I went to Lowe’s to purchase a stove. As I walked into the store to get a basket I fell down in the vestibule.
My complaint is not about the fall but the lack of empathy and hurtful remarks the customer service person (Laura) made as I sat on the bench waiting for the store manager.
After getting up from the fall, I walked inside the store to the customer service counter to let them know what had happened. There were two people behind the counter, a male and female. The name tag said Laura, but the other male, I recognized him from the day before in the appliance department.
The female was helping another customer as the make just looked on. Laura asked if she could help me. I told her what happened. Then she said that she will call the manager and continued on helping the other customer.
As I sat on the bench to look at my bleeding injuries I overheard the customer say to Laura something like, “everyone’s trying to get something nowadays. “ Then Laura responded back to the customer, in a normal tone “yes people are trying to get something.” I was sitting on a bench in front of Laura at ears length. She was agreeing with the customer.
Laura didn’t offer me a bandage or any empathy, no one came out to help me get off the floor, no one asked if I were hurt, and on top of that, a hurtful remark was made.
This is not customer service like.
Desired outcome: The first important thing you should do to help an injured person is call 911. Do not worsen the injury. The person should not be moved unless he or she is at risk of being further hurt.
