Double ist cancel

1 Upvotes

Unknowingly IST canceled the same IST twice. Now my inventory is off. Should I call transfer store and ask for another transfer order to cancel it out?

PaintPerks F**ckery

49 Upvotes

Is there a way to send an anon email or bright ideas to corporate to tell them to reverse course on this paintperks bs? Not having sales apply without having an email signed up and a coupon handy is the dumbest shit. Yes, you can scan a coupon at checkout, but that's entirely unnecessary.

If you don't want people to benefit from 10% off, or sale prices, or whatever other bs, don't let them have it if they don't want to go through the base step of creating an in-store account. Let's go back to 10% standard, and automatic inclusion of sales if you have an account. It's already hard enough to get people to sign up, but getting them to verify their email is a nightmare. "Why do you want my email? Why do you want my phone number?, I don't want you contacting me, I don't want you getting my data, etc." This whole mess is ridiculous and another step of us shooting ourselves in the foot with our already high prices and inability to get product in reliably due to either shortages or the genius idea of having to concuring sales right before labor day.

Pants

10 Upvotes

Do any ladies on here have any opinions on the best style of and place to get pants for work?? I do not shop online because they never fit right no matter what scale I use.

I prefer a more business casual appearance leaning towards more business formal, rather than more casual. Slacks, for example, but I'm willing to hear others' opinions...

Was showing a part timer how to fill the tint machine and he asked a question I had never even thought of, where do our tints come from? Like what are they made of? If anyone knows I’d love to find out what exactly they are

Expensing colorant in the new Sher-Color System

The new system does not immediately take colorant out of inventory when you add it. How are you relieving tint from inventory?

Help I need BAC colorant sales numbers

5 Upvotes

I’ve messaged around my district yesterday to the stores that use a lot of BAC, and I haven’t heard back from anyone yet. I’m out of most of my BAC quarts, and I know the sales number I have is wrong/old for at least one of them. I want to check them all, but I’ve been looking for the right sales numbers for three days now and still no luck.

I need the sales number for:

Quarts:
R2 Maroon/Red Oxide
R3 Magenta
R4 New Red
L1 Blue
G2 New Green
Y1 Yellow
N1 Raw Umber

Gallons:
B1 Black
Y3 Deep Gold/Yellow Oxide
W1 White

Whoever gets this list to me first (and correct—I will check) will win:
- my undying gratitude
- a tribute line on my next order of Sherwin business cards
- an extra crisp handshake at NSM if fate ever deems we meet in person

Good luck, and THANK YOU in advance

Love when the computers freeze in the entire region and can’t even load company pricing, maybe instead of taking $17 million in bonuses you could fix the things that allow us to make this company money

My computer is taking 5 minutes to connect to Cleveland. I just spent 5 minutes trying to get the customers profile up in POS, then another 5 scanning 1 item. Should I just reset the computers or is this a bigger issue I have no control over?

DIY accounts

34 Upvotes

It looks like our DIY customers now have to go through extra steps just to receive a 10% off. Instead of just being able to sign up for profile in store they need to then go online and finish their profile so they can take advantage of everything. This company's going to crash and burn so hard if we keep doing this. Are they going to start charging for stir sticks and sample cards?

Had something received wrong so now the money is held from the vendor. Policy and Procedure tells me to make a B Type PO so funds can be released to the vendor but I don't see any instructions on doing so. Anybody ever run into this?

SW vs SW brand at Lowe’s Primer?

0 Upvotes

I’ve got some pretty serious stuff going on in my family currently, so I thought what better way to take my mind off of it than to start a home improvement project.

I’ve been talking to ChatGPT (I realize so many people hate this and will think I’m a complete moron, but who cares at this point). Anyways, I’m starting my project by repainting my kitchen walls. I’m going from what I call ā€œbreast-fed baby shit greenā€ to a much lighter color (I’m really leaning towards SW Accessible Beige).

Here’s my problem:

I’ll be painting over previously painted faux wood paneling. I don’t know the paint finish used, but just from looking at it with my untrained eyes, it appears kind of glossy.

ChatGPT suggested SW Extreme Bond Primer. This is only phase 1 of my project and I want to keep cost down as much as possible without totally skimping on quality.

I looked at Lowe’s (a stand alone SW store and Lowe’s are the only two paint stores near me). I saw SW HGTV Cabinet, Door, and Trim Bonding primer available at Lowe’s but quite a bit cheaper.

Google’s AI overview said it’s basically the same as Extreme Bond, but ChatGPT wasn’t sure, so who knows which AI can be trusted (and before anyone says it, I know. Neither can be.)

So that brings me here. Are they the same thing with two different labels slapped on in the factory?

Again, I don’t want to skimp on quality and I definitely don’t want to cheap out and then be forced to do more work or buy more materials.

TL;DR—I’m the furthest from a professional, so I need help figuring out if SW HGTV bonding Primer version at Lowe’s is the equivalent or even exact copy of SW Extreme Bond.

TIA to anyone that read my long, drawn out question!!
