Pearson Paint & Hardware

I love this place. They are always really helpful and have a good inventory for such a small shop. And supposedly, this is place where John Travolta worked in Saturday Night Fever.

I had shopped here on and off for years. I felt fairly indifferent about — hit or miss — dreary but I had no particular feelings either way. They tend to throw some item your way without really investigating your needs so it’s best to know what you want before you get there. However, recently they hired a guy to work there who seems about college age and also seems to be the kind of person that should be kept away from all living and breathing human beings, aka customers. This is the oddest situation because this guy is basically so rude he makes people uncomfortable. He is the definition of ‘seething with hostility.’ I have no interest in ever going there again because this guy has the net effect of making you feel foolish for shopping there, along the lines of thinking to oneself ‘did I just pay for the pleasure of being treated like crap?’ This place is awful.
