Re: Columbia to Merge with Sherwin-Williams

on a personal note.  I have never liked dealing with sherwin-williams.

On all fronts i have found them to be elitists and have a my way or the hiway attitude when dealing with their customers. I have had poor experiences in the indusrtial, commercial and consumer areas of this company.

I try to avoid buying from them but I have to to get certian spec paint or color formulas.

ok, im done with my rant....

Re: Columbia to Merge with Sherwin-Williams

So how do you really feel about it Eric???  What is funny about this post is the first day I read it - the local Sherwin Williams Manager stopped in to introduce his new sales guy...... so I showed him the post and asked them if they were aware of this reputation...... They were FLOORED!  It was pretty funny - I halfway expected to see the manager to make a post here, but guess not.
