This review is for the cashier Maria at Menards who seems to think she's working at Hooters instead…read moreof a hardware store. My husband and I shop here constantly for our business, and every time, this one cashier, MARIA goes out of her way to flirt, make inappropriate comments, bat her eyelashes, stretch every conversation like it's a speed date and does the most. We get it -- you like attention. But maybe try ringing people up with the same energy you put into trying to bag someone else's man. Totally unprofessional. It's awkward, cringe, disrespectful, and obvious. If you're more interested in being the store mascot than doing your job, maybe it's time for a career change. Menards, do better -- hire people who know the difference between customer service and shameless flirting. The Depot we'll go!

Later, the cashier told me the total was 19.99 when it wasn't (tax). He then was ANGRY with me for pointing that out, as he handed the pile of cash back to me, not counting it at all. I was expecting 30.01 or 30.00, and so it was like, what?...and I was in the wrong somehow. Helpful place if you ask the women for help, which goes along with the history of the place (BBC article about coffee and body fluids).

First time visit, great experience - 4 stars!…read more I needed professional advice and paint for some unfinished plywood floors. I could have driven a few hundred feet away to Home Depot or Menards. But I went to Sherwin Williams to speak with some pros. Sherwin Williams didn't disappoint! To say these folks know all about paint is an understatement. I got WAY more useful info than I would have received at a big box store. Both dudes were friendly and patient. They spent a lot of time answering my amateur questions. BTW, they had my paint colored and mixed in 3 minutes flat! No waiting in line or hunting for an associate...like I've suffered through many, many times at the Home Depot next door. I ended up buying some high end deck paint. I also doubled checked price comps at Home Depot. From what I can tell as a layman, Sherwin Williams is definitely priced very, very similar to the big box guys. Plus, I saved an additional 10% by establishing an account. Thanks, Sherwin Williams! - Maxx
