I agree. It's absolutely NOT an invitation to have sex with her but it is an attention getter and if she was someone you cared about would you want her to be attracting that kind of attention? My point was that it is ultimately Lowe's responsibility to secure their customer's private information and they failed to do that. I'm not saying that they should be considered the bad guys here but they were certainly negligent.
