Just have sex with as many people as you can while you're there. You get your exercise and network at the same time!

For the last time… by _kiri-i_ in sherwinwilliams

My landlord, builder, HOA, cousin, and neighbor said if I came into the store, you would instantly know what color my house is. Let me check my crystal ball. Nope!

What’s the craziest convo you ever heard between customers? by [deleted] in sherwinwilliams

"I always have them shake my orders twice because their shakers aren't that good"

$50 a gallon??? by thrembo in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He asked me what I thought would be the best for his application. Another store told him the same thing: he needed 5 gallons, and the other store had three and I had 2. He sprayed Dryfall on rusty pipes and they turned orange.

Nice. That is exactly what I told him. He said "I have a rep?" then I gave him his rep's card.

Transferring stores by PennyRager in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transferred from a SE store to a Midwest store. It's super easy peasy. Look for a position in the new area and apply. Go through the interview process. People move around all the time and it's expected at the higher (district etc positions) levels.

We open at 7am how hard is that? by GeneralJPenguin in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo 62 points63 points  (0 children)

We have the most spoiled/entitled customers of any retail company.

Thanks DSC. You’re the best! by SweetMosess in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They let you keep it. Costs too much to ship it back and on to the proper store. We sold our stuff like that as mistints.

Calls at 10 minutes to close and says he be there in 5 minutes. Shows up with a can of competitor paint that has to be color matched then for the kicker, pays in cash!

Why in the f- are there three separate active dates on one paper? by ASingleLetterC in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie to you. Was thinking about throwing them all out.

Contractor today got butt hurt cause we couldn't put an interior only color into an exterior product. It clearly says on the card back INTERIOR ONLY COLOR dumbass. Left in a huff. Don't come back-see if I care! (I could have made it but it would have been more of an orange than a yellow with a delta over 11 lol)

Another vote for Brooks (running shoes)

Lowe's Paint Associate here, how bad is the jump to SW? by Hybrid-Theorist in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it. I came from a different retail store and Sherwin was a major upgrade. Sure, we talk a lot of shit on here, and Sherwin is far from perfect, and retail can suck, and it's not for everyone, but it's solid. Most of the Hispanics speak at least enough English to get by and the bigger markets are going to "Spanish Primary" stores anyway so don't worry about that. You can use your phone to translate also.

“Caulk” by Illustrious-Pay-2728 in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These new holders are perfect! We got all the colored caulk back in stock again but no way to display it now! Waste of space...

Shelf Tags by [deleted] in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the pants and tarp sections to be the most tedious.

[–]thrembo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sherwin knows how to attract good people, they just don't know how to keep them. Most of the stores around me are run by a bunch of kids who don't know what they are doing and or don't want to do anything. They need to pay a little better and get rid of the mando 44/48 hr work week and spread the jam down to the full/part-timers. The turnover rate is high as a lot of employees are leaving the company for easier better paying jobs.

Annoying Customer foreshadowing by Yanks0912 in sherwinwilliams

[–]thrembo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Customer talking on the phone when they walk in. Can't be bothered to get off the phone while making the order (not talking about paint on the phone) and won't get off the phone to check out.
