The Sutherlands and Lowes that are near my house also have a sign posted that says "no precision cuts." Oddly, I first noticed this about a week ago when I bought a 2x4 and wanted two pieces cut to 34 5/8". They cut it with one piece being 34 3/4" and the guy was happy to give it another cut, so that the two were the same length. I suspected as Matts said, that the sign and is there because they don't want to be responsible for a quality cut when they aren't really setup for that. I don't doubt Jeff's experience, but I think its pretty much a personal thing and depends on the guys that happen to be working lumber that day.
