CUSTOMERS at Lowe's have been crying out over a store layout decision.
Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year in the United States, is only 64 days away.
Home improvement retailers like The Home Depot and Lowe's offer a wide selection of decorations for Halloween far in advance.
A Lowe's customer went to his local store recently to check out what was already available earlier this week and was furious at what he found.
"This is wrong on so many levels," wrote shopper LeVolker Cox in a post to Facebook on September 23.
Cox included an image of the decoration section at the Lowe's store, which featured large Halloween and Christmas items seemingly mixed together.
Giant scarecrows and ghoulish skeletons playing guitars were next to Christmas trees, inflatable Santas, and snowmen.
"First, putting ghouls, ghosts, and witches next to Christmas decorations is wrong," Cox fumed.
The shopper also felt that while Halloween decorations being available was reasonable, sales shouldn't have started yet on the items given that it's still over a month until October 31.
"Second, it's more than a month to Halloween, and some are already on sale," he argued.
Cox was also offended that while there were plenty of Halloween and Christmas decorations for sale at Lowe's, there was supposedly no Thanksgiving decor.
"Third, they totally ignored a special day of Thanksgiving," he wrote.
"It's over 3-months to Christmas."
Several others echoed similar grievances with Cox's photograph.
While some Lowe's customers might not be thrilled about the retailer's decoration decisions, they can look forward to MyLowe's Rewards Week starting on October 10 and going through October 16.
