Jim Jones is calling out Lowe’s Home Improvement after a dispute over a mislabeled price tag ended with the cops getting called on him at one of his go-to stores.
The Harlem rapper laid out the encounter in a long Instagram post on Sunday, claiming a store manager refused to honour the price he saw on the shelf and treated him like a criminal right there in front of other customers. The issue started when he tried to verify a marked price on an item that several outlets later identified as a set of locks, which was tagged at $78 instead of the correct amount. Jones claims the manager wouldn’t fix the error and instead accused him of swapping the tag himself, which was the part that really heated him up at the register. Jones admitted his first instinct was to lose it right there in the aisle, but he said he managed to keep his composure and refused to give the store the reaction they seemed to expect.
Things only got messier from there because the rapper says he was rudely told to leave the store before the manager picked up the phone and called the police on him over the disagreement. Jim Jones believes that call was a move designed to intimidate him and bury the fact that the store had its own pricing slip-up to answer for in the first place. Capo aimed his real anger at corporate in the back half of his post, telling Lowe’s they need to do better with whom they put in charge of running their locations.
