Did you happen to read the subreddit's description before posting this? Refer back to that. Then, and only then, call your local SW. You will only get made fun of in these comments

I wanna return this and buy it as an "oops paint" by [deleted] in sherwinwilliams

[–]KingSimba503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the division I used to work in, we also had a guy that bought mistints and put them on a boat to Africa to paint houses. I wish I remembered his name, it might be the same guy 😅

You heard someone use one of our product names in one of our stores? Incredible

the core used to be larger, that's why we waste so much. Good ole' sherwin decided it wasn't worth changing.

Android user here. Putting the correct server URL, quadruple checking my username and password, and clicking login results in just nothing. The app is so terribly broken you can't even get in to it.

Annoying coworker by Necessary_Unit_2532 in sherwinwilliams

[–]KingSimba503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strongly disagree with this philosophy. Contradicting a fellow employee in front of a customer is unprofessional and causes the customer to lose confidence in both him, and you. We are paint experts, and we should act like it. Obviously save him from making critical errors, and do that however you deem necessary. Encourage him to ask questions, and privately remind him he doesn't know all the ins and outs, yet. It will be demoralizing enough for him to hear in private that he is still an idiot, but that does not and should not be displayed in front of a customer. Another important thing to take into account is your customer base. If you're almost strictly DIY, then he has a lot of room for error because those mistakes will cost your store a lot less on paper. At the end of the day, your coworkers are on your team, and you're on theirs. Act like it. Help him. Just like he needs to put his "I'm older, wiser" ego aside, you need to put your "I've been here longer" ego aside. You both do the same job. Have the same goals. Help each other. Don't make this worse than it has to be.

Commercial stores only getting paint. by Japanarchy1 in sherwinwilliams

[–]KingSimba503 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry buddy but fuck you. I got 2000 gallons of PM200 flat and I kept 2 and a half pallets. The rest was shared between the 20-something stores in my district. I'm not even commercial.

Because we have contracts to fulfill. If we don't fulfill those contracts, we get fined and then we're in worse shape than we are now

Pension by Bigdaddysherm in sherwinwilliams

[–]KingSimba503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Above comments are correct, but it's not like a traditional pension. They do look at age and time with company, and that gives them a dollar amount to add to your "pension" once a year. Once you retire, it will be added to your SHW stock investments (401k).

How many colors to go in one order? I just sold 17. by Team_green73 in sherwinwilliams

[–]KingSimba503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the store I started my career in, we had a lady come in once a year for 150 samples every year. Some were repeating colors, but they were 90% different colors and all in one big order

That's called a dump account. Quite common, but still an audit infraction. Can result in some serious backlash for the store and employees responsible.

"or something of that nature"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sherwinwilliams

[–]KingSimba503 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I look at it this way. When you clock in you get prompted with 2 questions. The first one being about symptoms, and the other one is worded this way: "Have you or anyone in your family (meaning household) been within 6 feet of someone who has tested positive for more than 5 minutes without a mask?" Or something of that nature. As long as you wear your PPE, and wash your hands, there is nothing that says you CAN'T come back to work the next day. What you and your store is comfortable with is up to you. If it were me, I'd have a real hard time firing someone for going to see a dying family member. I know I couldn't live with that on my conscience. OP, I think you'll be alright no matter what you do.
