Let me start by saying I love Sherwin Williams paint and over the past 6 years of going to the store in Newnan I have always had a great experience until today. Let me also say that my paint contractor Carlos and I have spent thousands at this store over the past 6 years. I ordered 3 gallons of the paint today. The nice young man at the front was new and had lots of questions for the manager James and another very nice young lady that was working. The lady came out of the office and began to help the new hire which I was appreciative. I started playing around with the young lady and the new hire and we all three of us were laughing and having a good time. Some of my comments that were made in fun were "I hope I am not your first customer', "the process looks so easy, I think I could do it". All of this was extremely light hearted and I never meant any disrespect at all. The manager storms out of his office and says 'I don't appreciate how you are talking about my associate, "if you think you can mix paint, why don't you come and try". he was visibly upset with me and I was totally taken back by his comments. I explained that we were all just having fun and I meant no harm to his new associate. I apologized to his associate more than once. I am not sure why the manager James became so upset with me because neither one of the associate felt the way the manager did. Todays world is crazy and i was just trying to lighten the mood. I will not give this store a bad rating because the two associates I worked with was awesome and they deserve 5 stars. I am 59 years old and manage a multi million dollar business with over 250 employees and I love it when my customers feel comfortable enough with my employees to cut up and have a good time. if any District manager for Sherwin read this review, please speak with the two employee's and ask them if I deserved to be spoken to like James the manager spoke to me. They will both tell you that I did not deserve it.and they will both tell you they felt NO disrespect from me. I will not tell you what the 2 associates told me when James the manager was not around because I can see this bitter manager taking it out on them. James the manager really needs to evaluate whether he needs to be in a managerial position or a District manager needs to make a decision for him. read more
