I've traveled to paint stores all over Illinois. It is easy to make connections with the faces you…read moremay see multiple times a day. However, there is not one store who has treated us with the utmost sincerity, respect, and care like Sherwin Williams on College Ave in Normal. No matter the day, we are always greeted with a smile and an always genuine "how are you?". The positive environment is important to us when, in the nature of work we do, there are so many negative people. Not only is this Sherwin Williams the most positive paint store you'll go to but they're the most knowledgeable as well. They know their products and always have tips and tricks to offer. Sherwin Williams on College Ave should be anyone's go-to paint supply store. Stop in and say hi to Tracey, Emily, James

Again I crossed beneath the furnace sky, The heat, though…read moreheavy, felt a gentler hand; And there within those aisles, calm and dry, I sought a humble bolt, as pilgrims planned. Sixty-eight cents, for three-sixteenths of steel, A relic small, as if the past were sweet, Like candy once sold by merchants who'd deal In simpler wares, before our age's deceit. Yet in the lot, where trucks hummed low and gray, A man in blue, his chest a logoed sea, Spoke of unions, prices, the Fed's great sway, And crypto bills that bind what once was free. He pressed in hand a list of podcasts, links, Modern tracts, like those the prophets made; And in my mind the sacred scroll now blinks-- Revelations, and Jesus, whip displayed. The temple's tables, overturned with wrath, The dollar's ghost, the "greenback's" fragile path. And yet, I left with only what I sought: A bolt, not soda, though the thirst was strong. For in such errands, oddly, I am taught That even common days to verse belong.

Before he could say anything else I said, "You know what? Fuck you.." My point is that although I swore which was wrong.. He instantaneously pissed me off by laughing at me and at the same time being rude. That's not customer service at all.

After months of looking at white spackling on the wall, I finally walked over to Dellert's to see if they had any recommendations to get us by until we have the time to paint the entire stairwell and mount a new handrail. They sent Kim to come have a look and take a gamble at matching the paint color without having any idea what brand, color, quality, sheen, etc. the contractors used. She did a PERFECT job at matching the color! You can't even tell where I did the touch ups!

The young man who appeared to be in charge, offered to have staff find my part for me, so I handed over the old part, received a new part from an older gentleman and checked out. It was the wrong size. I went back, telling the young man that I could not make the 1.5" part I was provided fit the 1.25" fitting (as it was not the same size as the part I provided for replacement), only to be thoroughly offended as he told me perhaps I needed a plumber (to replace a HAND tightened PVC sink trap). I assured him I was perfectly capable of changing out the simple part, when I HAVE the CORRECT replacement part. I showed him the original part and the wrong part, and received another trap. That did NOT fit. Both employees failed to note that the trap I provided was threaded on only ONE end and therefore gave me traps threaded on both ends. I take full responsibility for failing to check the replacement parts both times BEFORE purchase, as I had unfortunately grown accustomed to trusting the employees to know their business. After all, isn't it just a game of matching the part? Observation skills? Maybe that just can't be trained :-/ So now I had lost the time, distance, and convenience factors (thereby wasting my client's money) of going to Do It Best vs a big box store and I had been insulted. I went to the store a third time, rather frustrated, I think for good reason, only to find the young man had NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in ASSISTING me with finding the correct part. He outright told me to go to a big box store. So much for the benefits one used to find by going to the local store :-(. Truly disappointing in a store I once enjoyed going to and whose employees were always kind and welcoming. Albeit, the woman behind the counter was still friendly and the guy at the paint counter was quite welcoming. Too bad it wasn't paint that I needed that day. Perhaps some employee training, education, or rearranging can help redeem the store eventually. But customer service like that was MUCH MUCH worse than no customer service at all! In the end, I looked for and found the correct part independently at a local family owned store. If you want something done right...
