Believe it or not, it wasn't "Where is the spray paint?" like I thought it would be. That question ended up at number 3 on the list.
The top five questions are:
5. Where do I find air filters/garden hoses/spray foam insulation/nails/screws?
I grouped these together because the paint department seems to be the new customer service desk. Customers come up to me to ask where things are moreso than they do at the actual service desk.
4. Where is your caulk? Just once I wish I could say "In my pawnts." (Pants. Get it?)
And then I'd pull out a tube of caulking from my pocket.
3. Where is your spray paint? I'm going to start telling people that I keep mine in the shed in my back yard.
2. Where is the stain and/or the wood putty? It had better be in the same place I left it last night, or there will be Hell to pay.
1. But why can't I put *Brand X color* into Olympic paint?
This one surprised me because the Olympic rebate started this morning. But it surged to number one by the end of my shift.
I can't put Brand X into Olympic because it's not desiged for Olympic. It won't be the color you wanted. It will be off. Sure, I could color match it, but I won't. I'll get into trouble. And I don't want to get into trouble. If you want that color, then get Brand X. It's a better paint anyways, and only costs $3.00 more per gallon.
But if you really want that $5.00 rebate, choose an Olympic color. Then remember to fill out your rebate form, mail it with your original receipt and the barcode, and in 8-10 weeks, you'll get your money. But then during that time I'll have to hear you bitch and moan about how Olympic is "too watery and runny" or about how many coats you had to put on to cover your hot pink walls that you *loved* last summer.
This job would be great if it weren't for all these damn customers.
