Phew! This is one store I'll never ever return to or recommend to anyone. Who would have thought that just wandering into a newly opened painting supply store I'd find myself in the midst of a hostile. totally Yelp unfriendly, hateful environment.
It all started when I pulled out my little camera to take a picture of the inside and the clerk started, close as I can recall, right in on me.
"You can't do that." "I can't allow this." "It's against company policy." "You are not permitted to take pictures here."
I was stunned! It wasn't only the denial of picture taking but the abrasive tone of voice in which it was put to me. Like what on this earth would they have to hide or not want revealed that would provoke this type of overly defensive verbal lashing?
My only retort was that I merely wanted to take a picture for Yelp, which got the response that "We're on Face Book...we do our own."
Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not about to let them get away with reviewing themselves or bloviating over how great they are because they aren't. In my humble opinion they're a bunch of childish self-centered arrogant jerks with nothing to be arrogant about. Its new store with rather nice displays but smallish and in general doesn't really amount too much.
In all, if I could give this store minus stars, I would. If they are so hostile, unfriendly and insanely jerky about someone merely taking a picture inside of their store, I can only imagine the utter crap one might get into attempting to do business transactions with them. Fortunately, even though I had a paint sample with me in order to get some doors painted, it's something I will never find out because I'll never be back; and neither will anyone else I know.
Though I did snap a picture of the inside just before the clerk verbally lit into me, I'll honor what to me is the insane stupidity of their so-called company policy and not post it. read more
