I was offered an Assistant Manager position at one point but never heard back 
Looking at going back to college while working, just having an issue deciding what might be profitable and still something I'd like to do... once upon a time I wanted to be a teacher, but now looking at medical billing&coding. Medical field will always be there, right?
So until I find that job, I will be your friendly Lowe's cashier.

Update: A little over a year and a half later, I have been promoted twice. Just got promoted to head cashier ($4.00 hour/increase) and today was my first day officially as such. First promotion was from PT Cashier to FT Customer Service Associate lvl II.
I also enrolled in school last fall. Only going PT 2 classes at a time online - last year as such because we had wedding plans and then buying a house, and then she was out of work injured for 7 months. Proud to say I have an overall GPA of 3.8 (damn A-) out of 4. Enrolled this semester on a whim (I *did* want a break) for three classes. Feels crazy to me, almost did 4. Will look into winter and summer classes to try and make up the difference of not going FT. Going for Liberal Arts: Humanities and Social Sciences. Could not settle on something more specific. I hope it will still be able to help me =/
