Lowe's Garden Department: Death Awaits YOU!
You never see this on their commercials...
Copperhead snake bites customer in Lowe's garden department A customer was bitten by a copperhead snake while he was shopping Monday afternoon in the gardening section of a Lowe's in Denver, North Carolina. By Doug Criss and Tony Marco CNN (CNN) -- Gardening: Calm and relaxing. Shopping for gardening supplies: Not so much. A customer was bitten by a copperhead snake while he was shopping Monday afternoon in the gardening section of a Lowe's in Denver, North Carolina. The 4-and-a-half-foot long snake was hanging out on a tree when it must have decided it had had enough of that. The customer was taken to a hospital but the victim's condition has not been released, Lowe's told CNN. The local fire department issued a Facebook warning, telling folks to watch out when shopping for gardening gear. "This could happen at any store that sells trees," the East Lincoln Fire Department said. The store carried out a thorough search of the garden center to see if any other snakes had slithered in, said Lowe's spokeswoman Karen Cobb. None had. The store doesn't know how the snake got in. The garden center is an outdoor area with large trees. A store employee killed the snake. And the fire department posted a picture of it, wrapped up in a plastic bag.

"What did the doctor say?"
"You're gonna die."

One less person trying to fumble through the self-checkout lane works for me.

Doubt it. I drank Habushu, also known as Habu Sake, twice in Japan. It has a poisonous Habu snake in it, which is a pit viper closely related to copperheads and rattlesnakes. The venom didn't prevent me from getting arthritis at all. I'm getting a hip replacement next Monday. I have it in the other hip and my knees also. Wish it was true though....

I hadn't noticed that the snake was so big. I assumed it was a baby snake or something, not something big enough to eat you.

This was just a ruse to lure the nearest Lowe's employee out of hiding.

I was attacked by a dingo in their lighting dept. Never forget the sounds of the ceiling fans turning while that little ****er gnawed on my fibula.

If any of you all ever get a divorce, you'll be amazed at how little of a shit Lowes will mean to you.

Pit viper living in the merchandise. I think as a retailer you gotta try harder.
