ARE YOU A WOMAN? If…read moreyou answered yes to the above question you may want to reconsider going here for paint. I walked in here on Monday, September 30th. The store was pretty empty except for 1 other customer (a female) who was being helped by a female employee. I am a huge advocate when it comes to patronizing neighborhood businesses. I was in the area for a meeting. I decided to Google "Benjamin Moore" paint. I needed Benjamin Moore paint for a project at our house. I came across this particular paint store on Harlem Ave., several blocks North of Higgins and South of Foster Ave. The store is located on the east side of Harlem Ave. I was the 2nd customer in the store. I walked up to the front counter. I told a young man what I wanted (Benjamin Moore paint) and what the paint would be used for. I knew I needed a specific paint for a metal (steel) door. The young man was polite and professional. I did not have to buy primer because the paint already contains primer. All of a sudden 5 to 6 professional contractors walked into the store. It was obvious these men were spending hundreds of dollars on paint and other paint-related equipment. The one thing I noticed immediately was that male employees working at this particular store took care of all the MALE contractors. I was the 2nd customer in the store. I was the last customer out of the store. WTF! I walked up to the ONLY female employee. I said, "I know I am NOT spending hundreds of dollars, but I would appreciate it if you could check on my order. Please see if my paint is FINISHED being mixed." The young man who originally took care of me informed me that it would only take 5 minutes to mix the paint. It was already 15 minutes. I needed to get to a meeting. My paint was finished being mixed and was sitting in the back while the male employees took care of the male customers. As I spoke with the female employee I went even further. I can be a very blunt individual. I said, "How come all the male customers, who came in way after me, were taken care of right away." I said, "I guess because I am a woman I was put at the bottom of the priority list." She responded, "That's not true." Ummmm, YES, it is true! I personally experienced it for myself. You don't have to have a college degree to figure out that male customers are taken care of way before a female customer. If they cannot take care of female customers in the same way they take care of their male customers I don't want to patronize a chauvinistic misogynistic paint store. I noticed other previous reviews, by females, are very very very old. Outdated. I also noticed how the reviews by men rate this paint store with 5 stars. Men receive impeccable customer service. Women -- not so much! Although I did not spend hundreds or thousands of dollars, I expected to receive the same courtesy and customer service the male contractors received. When I walked in the door not one single person asked me "May I help you?" Or "Do you need any help?" I am not a second-class citizen. However, I was made to feel like a 2nd class citizen. I felt invisible. Finally, talking about a customer, after a customer leaves the store, is very unprofessional. A young male employee slammed a customer, AFTER the customer left the store. I heard the entire conversation between employees at the front register. They didn't care that other customers were present. This is very, very unprofessional.

Why didn't I just go to Edgebrook Ace in the first place? Lou Manfredini (how embarrassing that I…read moreoriginally said Lou Malnati; I DO know who Mr. Fix-It is!!) wouldn't steer me wrong. I had been looking for the supplies I need to re-screen the window screens at my home (15 of them!). This seems like a simple enough task--according to YouTube, that is--so I brought my screen to get everything and ensure I got the correct size spline and enough screen mesh, and the employee called one of his coworkers as soon as I walked in to help me find what I need. And more... we'll see if I can install the new door handle I bought for my storm door. I was in and out within 10 minutes (I know that because the store was about to close). I haven't been here in a while as I used to come here more often when I lived in West Rogers Park, but I really do just need to start here in the first place. I got everything I needed here save the pull tabs for the window screens (which I ordered online), and the customer service was great. Now I'm hoping this project will be as simple as it looks! There's parking on Devon that is aid parking using the box or the ParkChicago app and an entrance on that side of the store. You can also park for free in the lot in the back where the main entrance is. It's also directly across from the Edgebrook Metra station, which makes it pretty handy, and A CTA stop (pretty sure it's a stop and not just a bus staging area), so you've got options when it comes to getting here.

I continued walking looking for who could help me and finally decided to just wait for the employee who greeted me at the door. As I was waiting (I know George saw me) I watched him approach a customer who had just walked in. He greeted him and asked him what he could help him with. At this point I was annoyed because I had been waiting at least 5 minutes for the other employee to finish up. After about 10 minutes the employee was done and helped me. Now, I have two things it could have been. I'm a woman and I'm not white. This stuff usually doesn't bother me this much but today it did, hence the review. If you're a person of color I'd avoid. So disappointing and I will just travel further to the one in Jefferson Park on Central.

I first went to Menards and then Home Depot and they all said the same thing - we have the screen materials and tool kit but we don't do that type of work. In fact, Menards specifically mentioned Skokie Ace. So I came in and we got what I would consider a fair estimate for 8 of my screens. Now - could I have done this job myself? Of course, and I say that without flinching. The question was, do I sacrifice a Saturday afternoon to replace all of these screens? No, because I could be Yelping. I decided to pay for this work to buy some time. You may disagree but my Cost vs. Benefits analysis led to drop off all of my screens. I opted for aluminum this time and they were all expertly replaced in a matter of days. Excellent customer service by Carlos of Skokie Ace. I received two messages informing me to pick up my screens.
