Ugh. . . I just had a couple come into the store (Benjamin Moore) who were determined to paint their 90’s Surrey Stucco cup-de-sac home Chocolate Fondue with Black Bean Soup Trim. When I tried to steer them away they bristled at me; it became clear that they hadn’t come in for advice, only my agreement. These in my opinion can be the most difficult customers and the tight rope walk between “The customer is always right” and “Lord, save this house!!” is a tricky one. Welcome to exterior season everyone, may the spirit of diplomacy be with you!
