content: I want to paint my bedroom.  I found a color I thought might work and as luck would have it my local Ace Hardware was the place for it.  So I dropped in there this morning thinking I would purchase a sample size to see how the color looked on the wall.  \nThe guy who was providing me customer service informed me \""we don't give samples\"". I explained I was expecting to pay for a sample, not be given one and his response was buy a quart or nothing.  No sample sizes for paint.  No wonder Ace Hardware stores are struggling to survive.  Who buys paint without a sample first? I mean, Home Depot, Lowes, Sherman Williams, they all have sample sizes.  And they all have better customer service.
