Sherwin-Williams Company is another conglomerate in sheep's clothing. They play the "good ole boy" game both within the company and when dealng with customers. the average customer pays as much as eight times as much for paint as other consumers. They will tell you that this is decided by the sales volume of the customer, but prices can change just as quickly as as someone baulks, if they are spending enough money or if the manager likes doing business with them. Note that the managers get paid bonuses based on the store sales. They will tell you that this is not true because it is illegal. The truth is that it happens every single day. Best thing to do is to go online or anywhere else except Sherwin Willimas to learn about paint in general. Then buy your paint at an honest price. Every paint company has good paints and better paints, not just Sherwin Williams. You spend more there funding management's commissions, bonuses, vacations, paid days off ---usually occurring weekly----or in 4-5 day stints once per month. Believe me.
