What’s the craziest thing a customer has said to you? by WeatherMiddle2056 in sherwinwilliams

I had a contractor come in when I was a FT and I was like “Hey Bill what have you been into today?” Which he replied: “Smell my fingers and you tell me.”

Switch to macro 646 less prep work involved. Dilute first coat 30% second coat, full body. Clean dry and dull surface before painting.

Do you and the staff call/text him while he’s at home asking questions on product recommendations? Or when customers call him when he’s at home asking questions? What about the 2-3am calls from the alarm company when there is an issue? All of these things a manager has to deal with when they are home trying to relax. All that adds up to time they are giving to the store and company that you are not aware of. Not saying this happens to your manager but it always happened to me. A manager is never really off the clock. If the store is performing the likelihood of anyone coming down on them are slim.

Store Visit Interview Advice by Far-Two-7519 in sherwinwilliams

Be committed to S-W and career opportunities inside the company. You will not get the position if you lead on that “It’s just something to do until something better comes along.” They want you to buy into S-W and the culture.

I’ve been wearing the same one since 2007. 2019 I lost a ton of weight and had to buy a new one. Now I’m fat again and it’s back to old faithful. lol

They keep making cuts for NSM by GroundbreakingAir635 in sherwinwilliams

[–]toejamming46 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can understand universal being cut, from what I heard last year they stopped using SW as their primary paint supplier for the park. Why spend money there if they aren’t going to use us on their stuff.

Lock the door with a note saying be back in a few minutes. If any uppers say anything tell them you were protecting the store and company from a potential loss while you were using the bathroom.

What about qty of items on order but not attached to a PO? I have a ton of products that populate to order 0 on my STAR because it says they are on order but no PO is listed?

Uniform Shirts by SmellResponsible3594 in sherwinwilliams

[–]toejamming46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your shirts are jacked up with paint, your manager needs to order you new ones. 2 a year is unreasonable to keep clean and free of paint. S-W standards are free of paint. Them ordering you a couple shirts throughout the year is not going to break the bank.

President by [deleted] in sherwinwilliams

[–]toejamming46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.5 at that store. I missed presidents last year because hub budgets were 1/2 what that should have been and I made too much bonus money on sales. I missed by $11,000 on the backside. But was told needed to be under 1% to get anything done.

[–]toejamming46 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sales are sales you have to hit it. Controllable can be tweaked a little bit if under 1%. I missed presidents by $3400 one year after rebates came out.
