I saw this story at the Chicago Trib. site...one of the comments was that the person did not shop there because Lowes has all their signage in both English and Spanish and their community isn't Hispanic enough for that to be necessary, therefore Lowes doesn't research and cater to the local community so that's why that person shops at Home Depot instead.

What a moron.

I would like to assure that moron that most of the contractors in his area are indeed Hispanic.

OMG I had a guy like that at my work, he has since retired, but he was all proud that he "walked right out" because of the signs. Who cares? Heck, in certain parts of the country the store signs are in Spanish only (Not necessairly at Lowe's but at local stores)
